Hans Sigl plays the quiet and thoughtful Dr.
Martin Gruber.
In private, however, he can also be very different.
The actor sharply criticized the ambassador of the World Cup in Qatar on social media.
Ammersee – In the long-running ZDF series "Der Bergdoktor" Hans Sigl (53) embodies the charming Dr.
Martin Gruber.
In front of a breathtaking mountain backdrop, the brave country doctor and his family face their adventurous everyday life and have been taking viewers on a heart-warming journey since 2008.
Privately, the TV doctor is just as likeable and shares the many facets of his career with the fans of the show.
Controversial sports event: "Bergdoktor" star Hans Sigl and celebrity colleagues criticize the World Cup in Qatar
On his personal Instagram account, Hans Sigl gives his almost 160,000 followers snapshots from his private life or the stressful everyday life as a TV star.
But he's not afraid to strike a serious note.
While he has often commented on social and political issues in the past, the controversial football World Cup in Qatar seems to be a particular concern for him.

The upcoming major sporting event in Qatar has often come under sharp criticism in recent weeks and months.
In particular, the statements by the World Cup ambassador, who described homosexuality as "mental harm", triggered a wave of horror on social media.
Many celebrities condemn these words – “Just boycott”, writes singer Nico Santos (29), for example – and Hans Sigl also makes his opinion clear.
The World Cup in Qatar: scandalous even before the final whistle
On November 20th, the World Cup kicks off in Qatar.
On the opening day, the hosts will face the team from Ecuador, on November 23rd the German national team will face the Japanese team.
Normally the weeks leading up to final whistle are a time of excitement and anticipation, but this time scandal and controversy cast a shadow over the event.
Above all, the questionable conditions that prevailed during the construction of the new stadiums and led to many deaths were sharply criticized in advance by organizations such as Amnesty International.
Human rights violations such as the unequal treatment of women and the ban on homosexuality in Qatar also give the competition a bitter aftertaste and lead to calls for boycotts worldwide.
