The FAZ saw Wollon develop a “multicolored picture” here, a “splendid backdrop of social conditions; his actors - police officers, nationalists, feminists and socialists "- he let" dance ruthlessly to his satirical whistle ". The Hessischer Rundfunk emphasized the "formal ingenuity" of the program. The satirist also co-wrote the TV series Der goldene Sonntag for Hanns Dieter Hüsch .

With his wife Saskia, Wollschon was also the editor of the Sudel books with texts by satirical songwriters such as Franz-Josef Degenhardt , Franz Hohler , Hanns Dieter Hüsch, Diether Dehm and Hannes Wader in the 1970s . As a book author he was responsible for the Sudel-Lexika (1977 and 1983) and for his own satirical volumes. Wollschon emigrated to the Caribbean. For the last few years he has lived in Altea on the Costa Blanca .

Gerd Wollschon died on September 9, 2012 after a long and serious illness.
