Fuchsberger was the stadium announcer for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1972 Summer Olympics
in Munich. During the closing ceremony, it was suspected that a hijacked passenger aircraft was on its way to the stadium. Fuchsberger, fearing a panic, decided against evacuation. This decision was vindicated when the original suspicion turned out to have been false.
In the late 1960s Fuchsberger co-founded a real estate company that went bankrupt in a short time. At 42, he had lost his entire fortune, had to sell his villa and sat on a mountain of debt. With the help of his wife, Gundula, good friends and tireless work, he managed to discharge the debt and to start a new existence.
In 1978 he was bitten by a chimpanzee
during a TV show and fell seriously ill with hepatitis B.
He spent 4 months at the quarantine station and suffered through a depression but recovered.
He withdrew from film and television work in the late 1970s and concentrated on his stage career. Only in the late 1990s did he start reappearing in some television movies.
In 1984 he was the first German ambassador for UNICEF. On 13 November 2006 he was awarded the Bavarian State Medal for Social Services for those activities. Since 2009, Fuchsberger is member of the Board of Trustees of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2011 and Co-patron of the volunteer program for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2011.

on 14 October 2010. Fuchsberger lives in Grünwald
near Munich
and near Hobart
, Tasmania
. He also is an Australian citizen.
in my personal opinion the glover clan did an exceptionaljob in playing the role of a "typical australian family" who love sheep and everything about them. they have truly done Australia justice in one of these twenty documentaries and enlightened the people of Germany into what sheep farming in Australia is all about.
The Golden Fleece from the series of doctrinaires Terra Australis, was a stand out. It showed Australian sheep farming at its highest level, whilst capturing the brutal reality of the drought. The Golden fleece was filmed on a sheep farm known as "Treealla" in the small town of Binalong approximately half and hour from yass and just over an hour from the ACT. it was truly a stand out of the documentaries and a great source to look back on the damage and cruelty of the drought at that time.

Reference
in my personal opinion the glover clan did an exceptionaljob in playing the role of a "typical australian family" who love sheep and everything about them. they have truly done Australia justice in one of these twenty documentaries and enlightened the people of Germany into what sheep farming in Australia is all about.
The Golden Fleece from the series of doctrinaires Terra Australis, was a stand out. It showed Australian sheep farming at its highest level, whilst capturing the brutal reality of the drought. The Golden fleece was filmed on a sheep farm known as "Treealla" in the small town of Binalong approximately half and hour from yass and just over an hour from the ACT. it was truly a stand out of the documentaries and a great source to look back on the damage and cruelty of the drought at that time.
