The Frankfurt Book Fair begins this week.
Because it takes place largely digitally, the SPIEGEL culture editorial team has invited exciting writers to the podcast studio for you.
For five days we will dedicate ourselves to special authors of this extraordinary literary autumn.
We start our quintet with one of the most popular musicians in Germany: Andreas Wolfgang Konrad Frege, better known as Campino, front man of the band Die Toten Hosen.
His father was a staunchly conservative judge from Düsseldorf, his mother came from England.
As a child he was torn between Germany and Great Britain.
"
As a little boy I was scared that my parents would split up one day, because I mainly overheard arguments from them. And they were loud and uncomfortable, and that made me very, very insecure."
Campino admits that in an interview.
He developed a strong devotion to English football at an early age.
It has remained that way to this day.
He still admires his favorite club, Liverpool FC.
The fact that Jürgen Klopp, a German, now trains FC, fascinates the pop star.
Much to his regret, Campino was unable to pass on his love of football to his son.
He classifies this as its form of rebellion.
Campino actually only wanted to write a book about Liverpool FC, but then the whole thing became more and more a journey to himself. He talks to SPIEGEL editor Susanne Beyer about his German-English roots and the love story of his parents.
You can hear in the podcast why the singer has reserved a joint grave with his band despite large family ties.
