Politics and hits since the 1930s

New edition!
German Schlager, that was the sung everyday life of the Germans, from democracy to dictatorship to democracy.
No matter how much happens in the big world, we never want to part ... sang Heidi Brühl in the early 1960s. German Schlager was not only at the center of events in the legendary ZDF hit parade from 1969, but also played an important role in social life.
The often ridiculed musical genre conveys a deep insight into the soul of the nation, combining unspoken longings with the usually not-so-romantic reality of everyday life in West Germany. The hits provide a catchy substitute for feelings and are a welcome seduction for the moment. Where people happily warble about the unattainable distance or sing about the familiar homeland - everything from chopping onions to building a house is much easier.
On this evening, a quartet of spirited vocal artists whisks the audience away into worlds of sound familiar to us all, emotions, wishes and hopes set to music. The musical cabinet of rarities is accompanied by sharp-tongued commentary on current affairs.
