Margit Weinert was a German actress and voice dubbed who had a prolific career spanning several decades, from the 1970s until her death in 2014. Born on July 11, 1926, she initially trained as a gymnastics teacher before pursuing her passion for performance at the State Academy for Music and Theater in Dresden. Her early career was primarily on the stage, with engagements at various theaters in Germany and Switzerland, including the Munich Kammerspiele. While she appeared in some film and television productions, her most extensive and enduring body of work was in the field of voice dubbing for film and television, as well as in radio plays.

Weinert provided the German voice for a vast array of characters across numerous animated series and films. Reaching an international audience, her dubbing work was essential in bringing foreign-language productions to German-speaking viewers. One of her notable roles in animation was as the voice of Sinistra in the German-language version of the Peter Pan animated series in 1992. Another key role was as Tante Martha (Aunt Martha) in the anime series The Alps Story: My Annette (German title: Die Kinder vom Berghof), which was dubbed in German in the mid-1990s.

Her dubbing repertoire extended beyond these examples to include some of the most beloved animated franchises of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. She was the voice of Aunt May Parker in the German dubbed version of the 1990s Spider-Man: The Animated Series. For a younger audience, she was known as the voice of Tante Agathe in the German-language adaptations of the Pettersson und Findus stories, appearing in both the original film and audio dramas in the early 2000s. Weinert also voiced the character Krabbe in a German audio play adaptation of Alice in Wonderland in 1984. Her career in radio plays, a popular medium in Germany, included roles in series based on famous anime such as Marco and Nils Holgersson.

Throughout her career, Weinert collaborated repeatedly with a circle of German voice actors who frequently worked together on dubbing projects. These included actors such as Norbert Gastell, Alexandra Ludwig, Manfred Lichtenfeld, and Ulf J. Söhmisch, among others. This network of professionals was common in the German dubbing industry, where teams would regularly be assembled to localize international films and series.

Her contributions to German dubbing were significant and wide-ranging. Her filmography comprises nearly 300 voice roles. Beyond animation, she was the go-to German voice for numerous international film actresses. She dubbed Estelle Getty in Stuart Little, Cloris Leachman in Bad Santa, and was even the voice of Fay Wray in a later dubbing of the classic film King Kong. In a testament to her versatility, she also provided the voice for the recurring character Agnes Skinner, the domineering mother of Principal Skinner, in the German version of The Simpsons for several seasons. Margit Weinert passed away in August 2014, leaving behind a rich legacy as one of the most recognizable and hardworking voices in German animation and dubbing.
