Felicitas Woll

2005 was a turning point for the ZDF co-production Dresden (original title The Fire). In the film, a young German nurse (Woll), falls in love with an English pilot (played by John Light) during the destruction of the city by allied bombers in February 1945. The movie was filmed in Dresden's rebuilt city centre as well as at the railway station (also rebuilt) and in other parts of Dresden. Other scenes such as the theatre place and at the prince course, was continued in Chemnitz and at an industrial estate in Cologne, in order to use remote studios to film the larger fire scenes, such as the firestorm. The film, in which Heiner Lauterbach and Wolfgang Stumph also star, was broadcast in two parts on 5 March and 6 March 2006.

Woll is currently involved in supporting the cause of people with Down's Syndrome (Trisomie 21) in the poster campaign of the Posterkampagne des DS-Infocenters. On the posters and post cards she is pictured with her younger brother, Tassilo, who was born with Down's Syndrome. The wording on the posters reads: "A brother with Down's Syndrome is sometimes like hell. Just like every other brother in fact." Read Less
