Hans-Jürgen Dohrenkamp (born 8 June 1948), better known by his stage name Jürgen von der Lippe, is a German television presenter, entertainer, actor and comedian. His stage name comes from the fact that he was born near the source of the river Lippe.
Jürgen von der Lippe was born Hans-Jürgen Dohrenkamp in Bad Salzuflen, and grew up in Aachen, where he attended the Kaiser-Karls-Gymnasium and was a Catholic altar boy. (Today he is an agnostic). His father was the barkeeper in a striptease bar.
From 1966 to 1970 he trained as a signaller in the Bundeswehr, leaving the armed forces a lieutenant.
In 1976 he, Hans Werner Olm and others founded the music group Gebrüder Blattschuss (The Blattschuss Brothers – literally, Blattschuss is a hunting term for a shot through the shoulder into the heart; figuratively, it means getting one's point across succinctly.)
From 1986 to 1988 he was married (his second marriage) to the famous German television presenter Margarethe Schreinemakers.
Before his career in show business, he began studying German language and literature, philosophy and linguistics in Aachen and Berlin, but without graduating.
