He never forgot that pop music in German is called Schlager: on the death of the great cultural appropriator Frank Farian, the “Boney M.” invented and mixed the successful mix of “Milli Vanilli”.
It is high time to honor the craft and its golden soil. There may be room for a lot of things in his heart, but without his journeyman’s certificate in the noble bakery trade, Heino would probably never have been able to force “Schwarzbraun ist die Hazelnuss” and Rammstein together. Franz Reuther, born in 1941, is also unthinkable without the hunger of the post-war period. The mother therefore sensibly recommended that the son learn to be a chef because there would always be enough money for him. The young Reuther might have had one or two sausage cakes later and had the regular guests praise him in the evenings for the fact that his portions were large but his prices were still moderate, but he wanted to be someone else, not a chef, but a musician. This is how Frank Farian came into the world.
