Band history
The band was founded in 1996 by Pascal Skwara, Christof Grossheim, Dennis Zimmermann and Jannis Theil and has since played with the same line-up at more than 100 concerts and other events, such as the FIFA Fan Festival in Gelsenkirchen for the 2006 World Cup. Years after theirs Founding they were able to win a band competition organized by the Spinnrad company, in which around forty bands took part. After a creative break at the beginning of the 21st century, in which only three gigs were played, the band played again regularly in front of the audience from 2003. At the end of 2005 the four of them were able to prevail against 14 other bands from North Rhine-Westphalia again in a band competition, this time organized by the BDKJ . On January 25th, 2008 the Querschlaeger will release their debut album ... rocks! with a selection of 13 songs from her repertoire, which has now comprised a few dozen songs.
On June 11th, 2010 they played in support of Manfred Mann's Earth Band as part of the Local Heroes program at the bus station in Gelsenkirchen-Buer in front of several thousand listeners and on July 18th, 2010 on the A 40 in Bochum as part of the Still-Leben Ruhrschnellweg .
