“Dieter Wedel was a monster, a sadist”

By Stephan Kurthy

Since director Dieter Wedel († 82) died, his relatives have not come to rest.

Now there is even trouble between his sons Dominik Elstner (41) and Benjamin Voland (23).

Both found out about their father’s death through BILD. Dominik then wrote on Instagram: “Rest in peace! Even though you weren’t the father I wished for, you’ve surprised me in a positive way over the past three years. Thanks for that.”

That drives his half-brother Benjamin up the wall. Also on Instagram he writes: “Oh dear brother, you hated our father almost as much as I did, and now you are grateful to him? So much hypocrisy makes me puke cold.”

And: “Dieter Wedel was a monster, a sadist, rapist and misanthrope. The world just got a tad better.”

Dominik Elstner was not available for BILD on Sunday.
