About

Christoph Maria Herbst (born 9 February 1966 in Wuppertal) is a German actor, comedian, and voice artist best known for playing the insufferable office boss Bernd Stromberg in the ProSieben comedy series Stromberg (2004-2012), a German adaptation of the British series The Office. Without any formal acting school training, he built his career from the free theatre scene in Wuppertal and went on to win the Adolf Grimme Prize and multiple German Comedy Awards. Beyond Stromberg, he has accumulated close to a hundred film and television roles and regularly performs live reading programmes on stage.
