After military service, Kratzert began working at DEFA, the state-owned East German film company. After making his directorial debut in 1968, Kratzert went on to direct a further thirteen films up to 1989. He made a number of family films,[1] and in 1972 directed the Red WesternTecumseh (1972), a biopic of the Native American leader of the same name. The fall of the Berlin Wall and the closure of DEFA effectively ended his career as a film director.
