The Hamburg songwriter and cabaret artist Hans Scheibner is dead. He died on Monday at the age of 85 after a short, serious illness, as his family announced to the German Press Agency on Wednesday evening.
With songs like "I like to stand on the assembly line", his series "scheibnweise" (from 1979 in the first) or the NDR political satires "Walther and Willy" (2001-2006) Scheibner had celebrated nationwide success.
Hamburg - He probably experienced his greatest time in the legendary "Hamburg scene" of the 1970s.
Scheibner himself repeatedly caused career setbacks.
In 1985, for example, he compared soldiers with murderers on the NDR talk show, whereupon he was dismissed "cheatwise".
