Wirtschaftswunder

E c o n o m i c w o r l d s

"For heaven's sake, what shrill guys," cheered a journalist when he was enlightened at an Wirtschaftswunder concert by the profound realization that so many have shared with him since the band was founded:
"Schlager make you happy!"

Since the 1990s, Helga and Oswald, Dr. Sputnik, Jens von Eden, Eddie Schillinger and the latest lucky charm, Winnie from Cologne, have been carrying this message to the cities and countries between the North Sea and the Alps.
The rise to cult band status was unstoppable and with every Wirtschaftswunder concert, the German hits of the 50s and 60s celebrated a rebirth in today's sound.
The rousing live show regularly brings the group in front of the TV cameras and into the big halls, as well as to clubs and festive galas.
Wirtschaftswunder is not simply a plagiarized hit.
On the contrary: with a cheeky wink, the band serves up a dazzlingly colorful musical revue in which irony and nostalgia meet on an equal footing.
An evening with "Wirtschaftswunder" is a trip back to the teenage years of the Republic, with a gaudy performance in the style of today. Experience the charismatic singer Helga, the charming sunny boy Oswald, and a top-class band with musical legends such as Dr. Sputnik (drums), Eddie Schillinger (guitar), Jens von Eden (electric organ) and Winnie from Cologne (bass).
The guys who make up these musicians are half the show in themselves.
