Jürgen von der Lippe

Hans-Jürgen Hubert Dohrenkamp (born 8 June 1948), better known by his stage name Jürgen von der Lippe, is a German television presenter, entertainer, actor, musician and comedian.

[1] Jürgen von der Lippe was born Hans-Jürgen Dohrenkamp in Bad Salzuflen and grew up in Aachen, where he attended the Kaiser-Karls-Gymnasium and was a Catholic altar boy.

He went on to present another very successful dating show, Geld oder Liebe ("Money or Love") on ARD; this finished in 2001 after twelve years on air.

In spring 2004 he played the main role of Father Erdmann in the comedy series Der Heiland auf dem Eiland ("The Saviour on the Island") on RTL Television.

His greatest musical success, however, was Guten Morgen, liebe Sorgen ("Good morning, dear worries"), which made it to first place in the ZDF hit parade in July and August 1987.

One recurring element over the years has also been von der Lippe's parodies of well-known German stars such as Udo Lindenberg, Peter Maffay and Helge Schneider.

These include a naive Catholic priest who reflects on human behaviour (often sexual), a postal worker from the Sauerland, with an appropriate accent, and "Kalle", a Berlin heavy metal fan.
