Am Montag verstarb der große Humorist Vicco von Bülow alias Loriot in Ammerland am Starnberger See. Loriot hat mehrere Generationen in Deutschland mit seinen Sketchen, Zeichnungen, Texten und Filmen begeistert. Der aus Brandenburg an der Havel stammenden Offizierssohn, dessen Vorfahren am Hof von Friedrich dem Großen verkehrten, wurde von vielen als den „Karl Valentin des Cartoons und der Fernsehunterhaltung“ oder „Deutschlands komischste Figur“ bezeichnet.
Nach dem unfassbaren Verlust trauert ganz Deutschland um den 87 Jahre alten Komiker . Kann man die Bedeutung von Loriot für die Deutschen und den großen Verlust nach seinem Tod überhaupt in Worte fassen? Hier nur einige der vielen Stimmen von Politikern und Weggefährten, die Loriot nach seinem Tod würdigten:
Für den Bundespräsidenten Christian Wulff war Loriot derjenige, der Deutschland das Lachen beigebracht habe. Wulf bezeichnete den Verlust des Humoristen und lebensklugen Beobachter menschlicher Schwächen als unersetzlich. Gleichzeitig betonte er aber: „Loriot lebt in seinen Werken weiter. Wir werden Vicco von Bülow ein bleibendes Andenken sichern.“
Auch Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel (CDU) trauert „um den großen Künstler“ mit der „einmaligen Fähigkeit“, uns liebevoll den Spiegel vorzuhalten”. Die Bundeskanzlerin sei überzeugt davon, dass das Werk des verstorbenen Humoristen Loriot die Menschen in Deutschland noch lange zum Lachen bringen würde.
Auch Weggefährten von Loriot wollten nach seinem Tod ihre Wertschätzung zum Ausdruck bringen: Der Schauspieler und Kabarettist Ottfried Fischer schrieb „Unser Größter hat uns verlassen“. Der Schauspieler Heinz Meier, der Meier festes Ensemblemitglied bei Loriot war, bezeichnete ihn als „Universal- und Jahrhundertgenie“. Der Kabarettist Dieter Hildebrandt nannte Loriot im Deutschlandradio Kultur „das einzige leuchtende Beispiel für den Humor“, den wir in Deutschland „angeblich nicht haben“.
Der Termin für die Trauerfeier für Loriot soll nicht bekanntgegeben werden. Laut Diogenes-Sprecherin Geiger möchte die Familie das nicht.
