Geissendörfer, Franz Seitz, Helmut Dietl, Bernd Fischerauer, Günter Gräwert, Michael Verhoeven, Wolfgang Petersen to name a few, have added to Wilfried Klaus' impressive body of work. His most well-known role, though, was that of the Chief of Detective Horst Schickl in the ZDF series SoKo 5113. In this very role he stayed true to the audience from 1976 until 2007.
