Early career

Rhomberg was working as a medical assistant when she met the German director Hans Billian and began a relationship with him. [1]

In 1975, she appeared in Germany's first hardcore pornographic feature, Bienenstich im Liebesnest, directed by Billian (the soft version was called Im Gasthaus zum scharfen Hirschen, also known as Zimmermädchen machen es gerne). [1] In it she plays Graziella Schill, a woman on the trail of her unfaithful husband. This was a softcore role even in the hardcore version of the film, with scenes framed and edited to suggest Rhomberg is engaged in sexual activity but no visible sex.

Josephine Mutzenbacher

In 1976, Billian gave her the lead role, in part because she had the proper dialect for it, [3] in the adult film Josefine Mutzenbacher wie sie wirklich war, 1. Teil (known in English as Sensational Janine ), [4] [5] in which she plays the Viennese prostitute Josephine Mutzenbacher. [3] This film brought her fame in Germany. It inspired numerous sequels, but the original is the only one in which Rhomberg appears.

Jim Holliday has described this film as "easily the best and most accurate of several films based on the life and adventures of legendary Viennese madam Josephine Mutzenbacher" and his "all time foreign favorite" adult film. [6] Sensational Janine was "one of the most successful foreign x-rated films ever to cross the Atlantic", [7] and the movie is "today seen as one of the best porns of all time". [3]

Later career

In 1977, she appeared in Kasimir der Kuckuckskleber. [1] Her role was Larissa Holm, a young woman who agrees with Kasimir Zwickelhuber (played by Sepp Gneißl) to go into prostitution in order to pay off some debts. Around this period she also featured in numerous hardcore loops directed by Billian, such as Venus in Seide and Schwarzer Orgasmus, which were among the first examples of interracial pornography in Germany. [8] In addition to acting, she also worked as a fluffer.

In 1978, she broke with Billian and returned to her original profession. [8]

Pornographic films (pornos), erotic films, sex films, 18+ films, or also known as blue movie or blue film are films that present sexually explicit subject matter in order to arouse, fascinate, or satisfy the viewer. Pornographic films present sexual fantasies and usually include erotically stimulating material such as nudity (softcore) and sexual intercourse (hardcore). A distinction is sometimes made between "erotic" and "pornographic" films on the basis that the latter category contains more explicit sexuality, and focuses more on arousal than storytelling; the distinction is highly subjective.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Pornography in Germany</span>

Pornography in Germany is legal, with the exception of violent, animal or child pornography. Akin to many other countries, child pornography in Germany is illegal. German prosecution authorities and legal bodies of Germany's 16 states handle the definition of child pornography very differently, but all 16 states ban child and animal pornography, and it is illegal to watch or access any pornography for minors under 18 in Germany. The German Edathy affair of 2013/14 following the neglected cooperation of BKA within the Canadian child pornography uncoverings gave way for new legislation procedures in parliament to define the status of either posing or exhibitive pictures of minors. New laws were still in parliamentary debating as lately as 19 December 2014.
