Compliments from Florian Silbereisen
Fellow actor Florian Silbereisen, who now plays the “Dream Ship” captain, told the “Bild” newspaper about Naumann: “He was the dream ship doctor who apparently really had medical powers.
His calming and confident charisma meant you could actually relax in front of the screen when he was on board.
In this way he has had a decisive influence on the dream ship.
Now he's watching over us from above." Naumann's widow Martina Linn-Naumann told "Bild": "My husband fell asleep peacefully at home."
Naumann was a trained theater actor.
His screen career began in the early 1950s in films from the East German DEFA studios.

He repeatedly appeared in supporting roles in ratings hits such as “Rivals der Rennbahn” or “Derrick”, often as a doctor or other academic.

For example, he gave his voice to the US actor Patrick McGoohan in the psychedelic spy series “Number 6”.
He voiced the Italian Ugo Tognazzi in the queer cult film “A Cage Full of Fools”.
He also occasionally stood in for Christopher Plummer and Pierre Brice in the dubbing studio.
