The 6: 00-13-Bahn is an album by the Berlin singer Reinhard Lakomy from 1993.

History of origin

The album Die 6-Uhr-13-Bahn was recorded in February 1993 in the recording studio in Reinhard Lakomy's Berlin apartment. All texts were written by Lakomy's wife Monika Ehrhardt . The electric guitar was played by Michael von Zötl .

The album was originally supposed to be pressed through the Deutsche Schallplatte label , but they rejected the album because it “couldn't be sold in all of Germany”. Instead, the album was released in March 1993 on the Nebelhorn label distributed by Buschfunk . The album was hardly played on the radio.

After the then Federal President Richard von Weizsäcker had heard the album, he wrote a letter to Lakomy in which he “expressed his sympathy for the songs and lyrics”.

Texts

In several songs, Lakomy criticizes the living conditions in East Germany at the time after the fall of the Wall .

The CD begins with a sample by Dr. Sabine Bergmann-Pohl from the vote on the Unification Treaty in the People's Chamber . The lyrics are direct and angry. They show Lakomy's bitterness at the time about the turnaround. Among other things, they deal with the fact that many people no longer have a job (the 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. train) , that as a fisherman in the Baltic Sea you hardly earn any more money, but rather have to focus on tourism (The blue cutter) and that for many people in the former GDR their homeland has now become partially foreign (Grüner Baum) .

On the basis of his texts, critics accused him of being part of the so-called Ostalgie with this publication . In order to avoid these accusations, Lakomy called the GDR “an oppressive state with (...) incompetent economic functionaries who only wanted to imitate the West”.
