Georg Ringsgwandl (born November 15, 1948 in Bad Reichenhall ) is a Bavarian cabaret artist , songwriter and doctor .

Life

Ringsgwandl grew up in the northern part of Bad Reichenhall in the area of ​​the Staufen bridge. He comes from a humble background, his father was disabled during the war and worked as a postman, his mother as a housewife. He came to music through playing the zither ; he got the musical instrument from an aunt at the age of eight. From the age of twelve he played the trombone. Ringsgwandl taught himself to play the guitar in 1967 during an eight-month sanatorium because of pulmonary tuberculosis . From 1968 to 1975 he studied in Würzburg and Kiel Medicine , 1972, he spent six months studying in California. He completed his studies in Kiel with a doctorate to become a Dr. med. from.

In 1976 he moved to Munich. He took over a practice and got to know the Bavarian blues musician Willy Michl , who occasionally let him appear at his concerts and play a few songs. After small appearances in pubs and at concerts, Ringsgwandl tinged with the first own program of Gurkenkönig's housewife show on cabaret stages during his time as an assistant doctor in the Munich Clinic Großhadern . From 1984 he worked as a senior physician in cardiology at the Garmisch-Partenkirchen Clinic and for years also performed as a musician. In 1986 he made his first sound carrier, The Last . With the award of the Salzburger Stier in 1987 and the German Cabaret Prize in the following year, new performance opportunities arose for Ringsgwandl and his band. Further programs and guest performances all over Germany followed. Ringsgwandl's stage appearances, especially in the 1980s, were characterized by an emphatically shrill appearance. In 1993 he gave up the medical profession completely and has been exclusively artistic since then.

The line-up of his band changed very frequently. He worked longest and most intensely in the first successful years on stage with the guitarist Georg Schreiner and the keyboardist Klaus Reichardt. Another important collaborator was Nick Woodland , who accompanied Ringsgwandl as a blues guitarist since 1992 and the album Vogelwild until 2012. Ringsgwandl's music combines elements of traditional Bavarian folk music , such as the morality about the robber Kneißl , with punk influences and rock music , and combines them with bizarre humor and subtle lyrics.

For the first time, the CD Der Gaudibursch vom Hindukusch included longer verbal contributions that Ringsgwandl had only heard at his concerts until then. Occasional television appearances in programs like the windshield wiper and Ottis Schlachthof as well as some talk shows accompanied his stage work. In 1994 he took part in the Ingeborg Bachmann competition in Klagenfurt , but his short story 24 hours sanitary emergency service Maderegger failed most of the jurors. In 1998 he worked in the Herbert Achternbusch film New Freedom - No Jobs . Also in 1998 was the musical Ludwig II. - The Full Truth About Ludwig II , in whose role Ringsgwandl slipped himself.

Ringsgwandl's artistic work has received several awards, including the Bavarian Cabaret Prize . For the titles Papst gsehng (1987) and Nix mitnehma (1989) he received the annual award of the best song list . The album Gache Wurzn won the German Record Critics' Prize in 2001 in the category of chansons, songs, songwriters , and from April to July 2001 the song Garten-Nazi took first place in the SWR's monthly list of best songs . On December 10, 2010 he performed at the Arosa Humor Festival . The album More Shine! was released in June 2013, the current album Woanders in September 2016.

Georg Ringsgwandl is married and lives in Seehausen am Staffelsee and the Munich district of Untersendling . He is the father of three grown daughters.
