Documentary about the rock group BAP from Cologne in Germany.
Roland Kaiser has invited a wide range of well-known artists, such as Ronan Keating, Adel Tawil, Glasperlenspiel, Wolfgang Niedecken and BAP, Maite Kelly, Ben Zucker, Sarah Zucker, Santiano, Annett Louisan, Jeanette Biedermann, Max Raabe, David Garrett, Götz Alsmann, Sotiria, Oonagh, Joel Brandenstein and the German Television Ballet, for his new music show. They will not only present their own love songs, but also perform extraordinary duets with the host. Love is probably the most frequently sung about theme in music. It gives people the strength to overcome many things, to accompany them in good times and to carry them through difficult times.
The Nuremberg communication center, known as “KOMM” for short, was a nationwide pioneer. The social, youth and cultural policy experiences of that time can be found today in countless institutions throughout Germany - in the art/cultural education work of “high culture” as well as in the self-image of open district centers and cultural offerings for all social groups.
Scenes from cologne Karneval cut together by thousads of amateuer video scenes.
He went on a bender with Motörhead’s Lemmy and spend some night in jail. He was a street musician, a working class hero, a thug, a fairy and most of all a rebel – Jürgen Zeltinger is a Cologne icon. With his band he covered Lou Reed and the Ramones in the Kölsch dialect in the 80s, and his social justice anthems against the rich and powerful and for the little man are being bellowed by rowdy crowds to this day. Documentary filmmaker Oliver Schwabe accompanies the now elder statesman of Rock on tour, digs up old live footage and interviews friends and colleagues like musician Wolfgang Niedecken and actor Heiner Lauterbach. So emerges the fascinating story of the stout, bald street kid with the short fuse who would go on to influence a whole generation.
Wolfgang Niedecken's BAP is the soundtrack for millions who want to hear stories of love, resistance, and the harsh realities of life sung in the Rhineland dialect. For over four decades, the Cologne singer-songwriter has sung with a smoky voice, straight from the heart, about what matters to him and his generation. On July 31st 2025 Niedecken brought that same energy to the Wacken stage. Setlist: Drei Wünsch frei, Nemm mich met, Ne schöne Jrooß, Hurricane / Stell dir vüür, Wahnsinn, Waschsalon, Kristallnaach, Alexandra, nit nur do, Verdamp lang her, Frau, ich freu mich, Encore: Jraaduss
Germany's most popular punk rock band "Die Toten Hosen" ("The dead pants") celebrated their 30th anniversary in 2012. In his film "Nichts als die Wahrheit - 30 Jahre Die Toten Hosen" ("Nothing but the truth - 30 years Die Toten Hosen"), established documentary filmmaker Eric Friedler succeeds at presenting an interior view of a band that evolved from an enfant terrible to a pop culture icon and whose work mirrors German history. Friedler takes the audience on a two-hour long roller coaster ride about success and failures.
