Biography

Norbert Gastell, a complex and multifaceted individual, burst forth into the world on October 14, 1929, in the vibrant, bustling metropolis of Buenos Aires, Argentina, a city that would later weave itself into the rich and intricate fabric of his life's journey.

Noted thespian, Gastell's remarkable acting career was distinguished by a multitude of standout performances, with his most iconic and enduring role being his portrayal of a character in the 1966 science fiction television series "Raumpatrouille - Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes Orion", a production that has become an integral part of the science fiction genre's collective consciousness.

This pioneering performance was soon followed by his memorable appearances in the 1980 fantasy drama "Merlin", a critically acclaimed production that showcased his versatility as an actor, and the 1989 German television series "Forsthaus Falkenau", a program that further solidified his reputation as a talented and accomplished thespian.

Gastell's personal life was a pivotal and multifaceted aspect of his narrative, with a profound impact on his overall story, as he was fortunate enough to have been married twice, first to the illustrious and accomplished Karin Heym, and then to the charming and lovely Inge Fuerst.

As the passage of time unfolded, the extraordinary odyssey of Gastell reached its ultimate conclusion on the twenty-sixth of November, two thousand and fifteen, in the picturesque city of Munich, situated within the picturesque region of Bavaria, a state located in the southwestern part of Germany, where the gentle rustle of the Alps and the vibrant cultural heritage blend seamlessly together, leaving behind a lasting imprint that would continue to captivate and thrill future generations for years to come.
