reception

Gerrit Lembke, lecturer at the Institute for Modern German Literature and Media at the University of Kiel , tried in an essay to vaguely classify the popularity of the cabaret artist Grebe between Bodo Wartke and Gerhard Polt . The "complex songs that strive for social relevance are to be seen in a line of tradition with Bertolt Brecht , Wolf Biermann or Franz-Josef Degenhardt ". Lembke recognizes a “poetics of leveling” in Grebe's songs. For example, science fiction utopias set the location of the action at a distance in time and space. “Progress” is always staged as a spatial movement that leads there often enough, “where no man has gone before” (from the opening credits of the TV series Star Trek ). Grebe, however, proceed in the opposite direction: "With him, the past takes up most of the space, the present, where it seems modern, turns out to be all the more backward-looking, and a future is literally" u-topical = spaceless "."

Lawsuit against toll toilets

In November 2017, the press reported nationwide about a lawsuit by Grebe against the state of Rhineland-Palatinate because of the toilet fee on motorway service stations. The state's restaurant ordinance provides for free use for guests. Grebe, who had alluded to the Sanifair payment system several times in his programs and songs , previously announced this lawsuit in the ZDF program Die Anstalt . However, the Koblenz Administrative Court (AZ 5 K 1284 / 16.KO) dismissed the lawsuit and referred to 43 free toilets on motorway parking lots in Rhineland-Palatinate.
