Harald Leipnitz features in the Rialto Wallace Krimis Die Gruft mit dem Rätselschloss/The Curse of the Hidden Vault (1964), Der unheimliche Mönch/The Sinister Monk (1965) and Die blaue Hand/Creature with the Blue Hand (1967).
He can also be seen in the Francis Durbridge TV-Mini Series Der Schlüssel (1965) and in other productions such as the Karl May Western Der Ölprinz/The Oil Prince (1965) and Winnetou und sein Freund Old Firehand/Winnetou: Thunder at the Border (1966) as well as The Brides of Fu Manchu (1966) and a plethora of other popular German movies and TV series.
He was born on April 22, 1922 in Wuppertal, the same city that Horst Tappert was also born in. A while ago I discovered that this city in North Rhine Westfalia named a street after him in his honour in the Elberfeld suburb that he originally came from.
Once I heard this I started developing this crazy idea that maybe some day I should venture there but a quick look at Google Maps reveals that realistically other than the street sign there is very little to explore there so will remain an armchair tourist in this regard but thought it would be cool to share this find with the rest of the world.
