Dieters happy future
Dieters Frohe Zukunft (DFZ) was a Leipzig folk band from the 1980s that performed with their own German texts and compositions.
Band history
The band was founded in 1984 by Uwe Schimmel, Uta Mannweiler and the songwriter Dieter Kalka . Kalka and Schimmel contributed the texts and compositions. The repertoire consisted of mostly satirical titles such as “Der Schanzenraub zu Hohburg”, “Hochzeitlied”, “The standing violinist from the Ringcafé” and “The Farmer's Market in Little Paris”, some of which were taken over by Schimmel's successor “Wurzener Stadtmusikanten”.
After Uta Mannweiler moved to Berlin in 1986, the band broke up. The band was part of the Leipzig song scene and took part in the GDR open chanson days in Michaelsstein Monastery .
Instruments
- Uta Mannweiler - viola and vocals
- Uwe Schimmel - French horn , flutes and vocals
- Dieter Kalka - bandoneon , guitar and vocals
Underground
The band also organized the illegal “ Ringelfolk ” series of events in the Ringelnatzklause Wurzen (1985–1987) and was classified and observed by the MfS as a “resistance cell”.
Recordings
The privately produced recordings were stolen from the members' rooms by IM Henriette Neuberin in "operational measures" .
Stasis reporter
"K (alka) was intended for the NJF (National Youth Festival) in Berlin, but was due to the fact that his program (" Dieters Frohe Zukunft "), which he had submitted for the workers' festival, is not politically responsible, not delegated (no approval of texts on readiness for military service, activities of the security organs). "
Follow-up projects
Uwe Schimmel then founded the "Wurzener Stadtmusikanten Ge Em Be Ha", which still exists today. Uta Mannweiler plays in the Berlin band Caravan. Dieter Kalka was temporarily engaged with Tippelklimper , but was mostly active as a soloist as a songwriter and later as a writer .
