Karin Himboldt (1920–2005) was a German film actress.[1] She is perhaps best-known for her roles in the Heinz Rühmann comedy films Quax, der Bruchpilot (1941) and Die Feuerzangenbowle (1944). Her career was damaged in 1944 when the Nazi regime banned her from filming: Himbold had denied the Nazi salute at the premiere of Die Feuerzangenbowle and was also married to a so-called "Half-Jew". She retired from film acting in 1959 and married the boss of a chemical concern in Basel.
