.
. The actress Käte Dyckhoff was born Henny Alma Käthe Schnau in Hamburg. She studied acting with Lilly Ackermann in Berlin from 1938 to 1940, after which she received her first engagement at the Stadttheater Elbing. She then returned to Berlin and took acting lessons with Agnes Srtaub. She had only a short film career in German cinema in the 1940s. She began her career in the early 1940s with "Illusion" (41) and "Liebesgeschichten" (42). Her role in “Akrobat schö-ö-ön!” (43) marked her breakthrough, and in the following years she appeared in the successful productions ‘Immensee’ (43), “Familie Buchholz” (44), and “Neigungsehe” (44). After the war, she almost completely disappeared from the film scene. During the Nazi era, she was very close to Joseph Goebbels and passed on the names of colleagues who were critical of the regime. Her past caught up with her and she was banned from performing. It was not until 1951 that she was able to return to the camera for “Das Haus des Schweigens/Jahre des Schweigens” (51). Ten years later, she made her last German film "Das Mädchen mit den schmalen Hüften" (61), alongside a then unknown Hannelore Elsner. She later lived in Rome, where she made headlines again as a witness in the Bebawi murder trial. In Italy, she acted for the very last time in a film for "Bestialita".
