Volker Grohskopf had broadcast the Villach carnival session for the ORF from the congress center for years and was recently working on the preparations for next year’s anniversary event “70 years of Villach carnival”.
“The Villach carnival was his child”
“We are all deeply shocked, I mightn’t believe the news at first. The Villach carnival was his child, following many years as our director he was almost like a family member of the guild,” said the “pharmacist” Alexander Telesko. Volker Grohskopf took part in numerous ORF productions and was one of the ORF’s busiest directors.
Farewell in Vienna
Today, Tuesday, February 20th, Grohskopf died at 12:05 p.m. in the Vienna General Hospital. The farewell takes place in Vienna among friends. The German-born man will be buried in the family grave in Bamberg, Bavaria. Our sincere condolences go out to his family and friends.
