A guy who Fricked (if you know you know) Mario? Such a gay person

I'd go for the skier Hanni Wenzel. She won two gold medals and a silver at the 1980 Winter Olympics.

Can I ask why Carstensen in particular? 

[ThePrematureBurial 224]

Hardy Krüger (1928) & Arik Brauer (1929) ought to be on next year's list.

Not a name I suggested but it seems that a certain illness has put an end to her acting career:

Can't sleep. Just watching an old favorite: "Die unentschuldigte Stunde" (1957).

 

Chariklia Baxevanos (1936)  is still alive.

Thank you very much @ThePrematureBurial

I will add them to the long list (some have already been added gradually, e.g. the Kessler Twins, Wim Wenders, Nicole Heesters...).

The longlist was not compiled by me alone, but by frleon, gcreptile, Prophet, TomTomTelekom, WEP and me.

So you are very welcome to take part at the end of the year, when I hope that we will start a second D-A-CH-DL!

[Handrejka 1,911]

Was Klaus Rainer Röhl on the long list? He's not dead , I was just curious. Someone I didn't realise was still alive was Alexander Allerson. 

[frleon 138]

Yeah, he was, I had him somwhere in my suggestions.

Yes, he was, but didn't get enough points to make the Top 50

(He received 39 points from me)

Aye, and the kind of music that polarizes debate hereabouts available to download (atm at least) here: http://zerosounds.blogspot.com/2021/01/arik-brauer-liederbuch-1973-rest-in.html

Ernst Gottfried Mahrenholz, former judge and politician, has died.

He was a former Minister for culture in Lower Saxony, former director of Hannover's broadcasting station "Funkhaus Hannover", a former judge at the Federal Constitutional Court and a former DDP-Pick as well:

[WEP 900]

Unsure whether he is a person of interest here:

 

German actor and voice actor Karl-Maria Steffens seems to have died off the radar on New Year's Eve 2020: 
https://www.fernsehserien.de/karl-maria-steffens/filmografie / https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl-Maria_Steffens

 

Mainly a stage actor, he appeared in some television productions from the 1960s until the late 1990s.

[WEP 900]

And one more:

 

Wilhelm Knabe, ecologist and politician, co-founder as well as former head of Germany's Green Party, dead at 97:

[Book 3,594]

Every time this thread bumps up I hope, that this list finally gets its first hit! But then it's always: "Oh, the next German I never have heard of has died!" 

But at least this thread is kept alive, so all is well...

[WEP 900]

Critical statement read and accepted.

 

Now adding an "Austrian I have never heard of": Conservative poltitician Wolfgang Petrik, long-time member of the Vianna municipalty and state council (Gemeinderat und Landtag) has died :
