Wolfgang Ziegler: From East German Block To Schlager Star!
Is it possible to defy time? Wolfgang Ziegler, the celebrated German singer, is living proof that age is just a number. Today, as he celebrates his 81st birthday, we delve into the life and enduring career of a man whose music continues to resonate across generations.
Ziegler's journey began in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR), where his talent quickly propelled him to stardom. Even before the fall of the Berlin Wall, his career began to cross borders, captivating audiences in West Germany and beyond. For many Berliners during the 70s and 80s, finding an apartment in the newly erected housing blocks was like winning the lottery. These modern apartments offered comforts previously unheard of: warm water straight from the wall, ample space for a "Zeulenroda" wall unit, and convenient access to local pubs ("Klubgaststätte") and shopping centers ("Kaufhalle"). It was during this time that Ziegler’s hit song, “Verdammt (dann stehst du im Regen)” – meaning “Damned (then you’re standing in the rain)” – gained widespread popularity, even reaching the ears of Schlager fans in the West.
