Wolf Biermann celebrated with concert at Elbphilharmonie
Singer-songwriter Wolf Biermann performed a celebratory concert at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg to mark his upcoming 90th birthday on November 15. The event featured various prominent guests, including Campino from Die Toten Hosen, comedian Otto Waalkes, actor Gustav Peter Wöhler, and Swiss writer Franz Hohler.
The concert also served as a reflection on Biermann’s historical significance. This year marks the 50th anniversary of his 1974 concert in Cologne, which led to his forced expatriation from the GDR. Biermann, who moved from Hamburg to the GDR in 1953, became a central figure in German history due to his vocal criticism of the East German dictatorship, which resulted in a twelve-year ban on his performances.
Biermann is scheduled to perform in Leipzig on November 20, and his new album, titled “Unterm Haar nur Himmel,” is expected to be released on November 13.
