Udo Lindenberg

Celebrating Udo Lindenberg’s 80th birthday, exploring his extraordinary career as one of Germany’s most influential rock musicians. The film traces his rise from a rebellious young artist to a national icon, highlighting his music, political activism, and unique personality. Through interviews, archival footage, and behind-the-scenes insights, the documentary showcases Lindenberg’s cultural impact and enduring legacy in the German music scene.

A legendary band story began in Münster, Westphalia, in 1973: Udo Lindenberg and the Panikorchester played their first concert and released the successful album "Alles klar auf der Andrea Doria". What follows is history. The documentary shows the turbulent path from the pub Onkel Pö to the big stadiums of the republic.

Long before his big stage breakthrough in 1973 in Hamburg, and 4.4 million records sold, the rock musician Udo Lindenberg from the Westphalian province, the man with the long hair and the hat, had many adventures. Before it all started, he moved from the remoteness of Gronau to Hamburg, where he met Paula, who was not his great love, but was quite a hottie. When the team of three was complete with Steffi Stephan, the idea of founding a band developed. But the road to get there was a long one: he drummed as a jazz drummer in bands, had a highly dangerous performance in a US military base in the middle of the Libyan desert and always believed in making it to the very top.

The film tells the fairytale story of a scrawny East Frisian who, despite minimal starting opportunities, has had a unique career. Otto has always trusted his gut feeling, even when he often faced challenges that threatened to jeopardize his career. My Name is Otto shows comical moments and emotional high points, but also addresses the fears of a man who to this day firmly believes that his lucky streak could one day end.

After eight years Udo Lindenberg started his comeback in early 2016 with the new album "Stärker als die Zeit". After the release of his new album the panic rocker No. 1 went on a big tour, where he - among other locations - also stopped in Leipzig. The live recording “Stärker als die Zeit - Live” documents this gigantic show. The recording from Leipzig is a colorful mix of Udo classics and hits from his new album, including "Cello", "Wozu sind Kriege da", "Der Greis ist heiß", "Ich mach mein Ding" and "Durch die schweren Zeiten". At least as impressive as the tracklist is the list of guest singers who were at Udo's side during the various appearances. Participants include Clueso, Helge Schneider, Till Brönner and Stefanie Heinzmann, Gentleman, Daniel Wirtz and Ole Feddersen, Axel Prahl, Otto Waalkes, Johannes Oerding, Jan Delay, Stefan Raab, Klaus Doldinger, Adel Tawil, Max Herre, Bülent Ceylan and many more.

Udo Lindenberg has never been more popular than today. But many younger people can't do anything with him because he has been submerged for years. The ARD shows a documentary that is worth seeing, which explains why Udo Lindenberg has become a kind of secret president of Germany. The documentary shows all stages from the earliest beginnings through his breakthrough to his crash and comeback. Lindenberg made his first money at the age of 16 as a drummer in a band of the US Army in Tripoli. Lindenberg made 800 DM a day and thus earned a multiple of his father's as a teenager. From then on it was clear that Lindenberg wanted to put everything on one card and remain a musician.

This portrait for the comedian's 70th birthday also shows the artist from his sensitive side. He talks about his failed marriages, his religious upbringing and how he actually wanted to be a serious musician, but that comedy was ultimately more popular with audiences. In addition, many companions from Otto's early youth as well as later prominent companions have their say.

Tabaluga und die Zeichen der Zeit - Live was recorded at the performance in Frankfurt's Festhalle.

On July 16 and 17, 2016 German rock icon Marius Müller Westernhagen invited to two very special concerts in the Berlin Volksbühne. The reason: the production of an MTV unplugged. So far, only a few German artists have had the chance to present their songs completely unamplified as part of the famous concert series, that is, as acoustic versions and in front of an intimate backdrop. Now he was finally allowed to take it: "Westernhagen: MTV Unplugged" is the name of the new concert film and the live album. And the singer took his audience on a musical journey through his previous work, which has lasted around 40 years. On »Westernhagen: MTV Unplugged« you can find numerous classics such as »Weil ich dich liebe«, »Freiheit«, »Sexy«, »Wieder hier« and of course his famous whiskey anthem »Johnny Walker«.

The now 66-year-old Udo Lindenberg has never been as good as he is today, and this year's tour should not only be the highlight of his career, but also the high point of German rock and its stage presentation. The DVD was created as a recording of a concert in the carnival stronghold of Cologne on the beautiful Rhine.

On March 25, 2015, Udo Lindenberg's special train to Pankow became a reality. BVG and rbb Radiowelle 88.8 invited the artist to take a ride on U-Bahn line 2. The journey started at the Olympiastadion subway station and ended in Pankow. His song "Sonderzug nach Pankow" (Special train to Pankow) had caused a stir in both the West and the East in 1983. The song was a cheeky request to the comrades to let him perform in the GDR - in vain. When he was allowed to sing for the first and only few times in the GDR in October 1983, his "Sonderzug nach Pankow" was not allowed. In March 2015, Udo Lindenberg traveled to Pankow on a special train on U-Bahn line 2, accompanied by rbb reporters.
