The Karl May games in Bad Segeberg had to do without Alexander Klaws (38) again on Thursday. In the afternoon, the singer and actor took to Instagram and explained why he dropped out. “I’m struggling with the after-effects of my corona infection,” he wrote in a story. It came “very suddenly” and “is really annoying”.

The Winnetou actor “is extremely bleeding from not being able to be there”. At the same time, he is happy that the show can go on without him. Together with the team at Kalkberg, Klaws “checks from day to day when I’m ready to start again and can sit firmly in the saddle”. Maybe he could be there again for the performances on Saturday.

Since the end of June and until September 4th, there has been a production of “Der Ölprinz”, in which Katy Karrenbauer (59) and Sascha Hehn (67) appear in addition to Klaws. According to information on the Karl May Games website, the 38-year-old had already had to stop rehearsals due to his corona disease.

Unfortunately, Klaws was also unable to play the premiere in front of more than 7,000 spectators. “I still can’t believe I’m missing my first showbiz premiere today after 20 years,” he said on Instagram at the time. Sascha Hödl represented him. The Karl May games had previously been paused for two years due to the corona pandemic.
