In search of Ulrike Butz: December 2023

The Goal Of This Blog

THE GOAL OF THIS BLOG

The internet provides mankind with an abundance of information. Though the quality and accuracy may leave much to be desired, when used properly you may end up with pretty interesting stuff.
So my hopes weren't very high when searching for any information regarding actress Ulrike Butz, in my humble opinion the undisputed queen of German sexploitation. Yet, even with such low expectations, what I did find was utterly disappointing: an almost blank profile on IMDb (save a filmography) and a couple of small pictures from the films she starred in. That's it. No date or place of birth, no biographical information of any kind, no interviews, no candid pictures, no film reviews elaborating on her career or personal life.
I extended my search and was able to buy some more films, movie memorabilia and more interestingly, a few magazines that included unique pictures and interviews. Although I wouldn't exactly describe nudie- and tabloid magazines as trustworthy sources.

So this is my last resort. This blog is purely intended as a communication platform that will hopefully lead to more information.
Should you, dear reader, be in possession of any bit of information regarding Ulrike, I would greatly appreciate you sharing it with me, and with that the whole world, so I can ultimately change this blog's title to something along the lines of "The Ultimate And Only Source On The Net For All Things Ulrike". Together, maybe we can fill a huge overlooked hole in the world wide web.
To increase the chance at any kind of success with this obvious long shot, I will post whatever I already DO know, along with pictures and anything else that may trigger someone else's memory or interest.

Ulrike Butz - Die Kino Werbetafel

I started this blog in 2011, hoping to find out more about illustrious actress Ulrike Butz.

Thanks to many people coming forward with information, we all did get to know more about her (you know who you are, and I'm very grateful to this day).

It appears that I (we) accomplished raising attention to her persona which was much deserved, yet it seems to have somehow backlashed. For many years e-commerce trading websites like e-Bay have featured a plethora of offers carrying Ulrike's name, having very little or absolutely nothing to do with her. Very questionable pictures and 'autographs' have sold for a lot of money. Allegedly her name has become a commodity by now, which I honestly somewhat deplore.

That brings me to the following item: Ulrike currently has her own Kino Star Werbetafel. Although much of the text obviously was copied from this blog without credit or consent, it does please me to witness this continuing interest in her. She is, and will remain, the undisputed queen of German sexploitation.
