Distinctive German star character actor, specialising in quaint or dyed-in-the-wool eccentrics, grumpy civil servants, pedantic school principals, doctors, head waiters and stuffy accountants. He studied under Louise Dumont and Gustav Lindemann and cut his acting teeth at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus. Henckels was co-founder, and, from 1921, co-director of the Berlin Schlossparktheater. He was also a member of the ensemble of the Berlin Staatstheater from 1936 to 1945. He was discovered for the screen by silent star Henny Porten. After his debut appearance in this medium in 1921 he was rarely absent from films for the next four decades. His most fondly remembered role was that of the droll academic, Professor Bömmel, in the second filming of The Punch Bowl (1944).- Director

He started his football career in 1946 with the regional league club Oelde 1909, for which he scored 52 goals. He came to the "Rot-Weiß Essen" club in 1951 through the Sportfreunde Katernberg. In the same year, 1951, he was appointed to the national team by national coach Sepp Herberger. The right winger played a total of 40 international matches and scored 21 goals. He turned down an offer to move to the "Racing Club Buenos Aires" in 1952. With his club "Rot-Weiß Essen" he won the DFB Cup in 1953 and became German champion in 1955.
At the World Cup final in Bern on July 4, 1954, in which Sepp Herberger's team fell behind 2-0, Rahn scored the equalizer and the winning goal for a sensational victory after Max Morlock's goal. With Herbert Zimmermann's live radio report from Bern, the legendary words "Rahn should shoot from the background, Rahn shoots - goal, goal, goal... Germany is world champion" went around the world. Rahn not only became one of the first star players, but he also gave the young Federal Republic, which was still in the post-war sinful role, a new self-confidence. The event went down in history as the "Miracle of Bern".
After a guest appearance at 1. FC Köln and in the Dutch honorary division at SV Enschede, Rahn made a surprising comeback in 1963 in the newly founded German Bundesliga with "Meidericher SV", today's MSV Duisburg, with whom he was runner-up in the founding season. Rahn ended his career in 1965 due to a knee injury. He then withdrew from public life. - Hubert Lampo was born on 1 September 1920 in Antwerp, Flanders, Belgium.
