She was one of the most famous singers in the GDR, but was also in demand after the fall of the Wall. Angelika Mann died at the beginning of the year at the age of 76. She has now found her final resting place.

The singer and actress Angelika Mann, known as the "Lütte", has been buried at the Stubenrauchstraße cemetery in Berlin-Schöneberg. The funeral took place in a small circle "with great sympathy from professional colleagues and companions", as her husband told the German Press Agency. More than 100 people came today. "That was a great support for us," said Ralf Rasch. The "Berliner Kurier" had previously reported.

The Berlin singer and actress died on January 21, 2026 at the age of 76 as a result of a recurrence of cancer. Because of her height of 1.49 meters, Mann was called "die Lütte". She was one of the best-known artists with GDR roots. She performed on stage for more than half a century, also as a cabaret artist and presenter.

According to her husband, it was her wish to be buried in the cemetery in Friedenauer Stubenrauchstraße. Her grave is located in the immediate vicinity of the grave of musician Franz Bartzsch, who composed many of her songs.

Numerous prominent figures from Germany's cultural life have found their final resting place at the cemetery. These include film diva Marlene Dietrich and photographer Helmut Newton.
