Biography

Ilse Werner, born Ilse Charlotte Still on July 11, 1921, in Batavia, Dutch East Indies, is a German singer. She began her career as an actress, making her debut at the Theater in der Josefstadt in Vienna in 1937. Her film breakthrough came with Wunschkonzert (1940), which established her as a rising star during World War II. Notable roles included parts in Die schwedische Nachtigall (1941) and Münchhausen (1943). However, her involvement in the national socialist film industry resulted in a post-war ban on her career. Werner transitioned into music, releasing singles such as "Das kann sich alles noch ändern" (1961) and "Ich möchte auch mal nach Paris" (1961). Her breakthrough song "Baciare" was released in 1959. Werner's unique talent as a whistle artist added to her musical repertoire, with songs like "Die kleine Stadt will schlafen geh’n" and contributions to film soundtracks such as Wir machen Musik (1942). She collaborated with Max Raabe on tracks like "Es war einmal ein Musikus" and a 2004 cover of "Wir machen Musik". Werner continued performing in theater productions and television shows. She passed away on August 8, 2005, at the age of 84.
