Hauff and Henkler
Hauff und Henkler (also Hauff & Henkler ), Monika Hauff (born April 17, 1944 in Wernigerode ) and Klaus-Dieter Henkler (born January 19, 1944 in Seebenau ), is a German singing duo specializing in pop music and related genres.
Career
Monika Hauff and Klaus-Dieter Henkler met in a band in 1968 and from then on sang in a duo. At the beginning of the same year - before the founding of the duo "Hauff & Henkler" - they produced the song Tausendfragen by Jürgen Heider and Harro Korth for the Berliner Rundfunk . They soon became the most successful singing duo in the GDR , and they also made guest appearances on numerous tours abroad. As early as 1968, they performed for the GDR during the Summer Olympics in the Aztec Stadium in Mexico City . In 1975, Hauff & Henkler became the first German-speaking artist to win the international Grand Prix de Paris with the title When I saw you again today .
The extensive repertoire later included hits , chansons , folklore , country and pop titles. Almost twenty albums were released and sold over ten million copies. Most of the titles are penned by the well-known composers Arndt Bause and Gerhard Siebholz and by Klaus-Dieter Henkler himself. Reinhard Lakomy , Hartmut Schulze-Gerlach ("Muck"), Siegfried Schulte and Nikica Kalogjera , the late husband of the singer Ljupka Dimitrovska , wrote other successful titles from Hauff & Henkler.
Hauff & Henkler were permanent guests in the major entertainment shows on GDR television and presented Ein Kessel Buntes twice (1981 and 1987). The live concerts on their tours were sold out, including the concerts in the Friedrichstadtpalast . Hauff & Henkler also achieved great fame through their years of participation in the Christmas program Between Breakfast and Roast Goose , in which they acted as moderators alongside Margot Ebert and Heinz Quermann and provided the musical finale year after year. Another highlight in Hauff & Henkler's East German television career was the personality show Tonight No. 1 , which was produced in 1986 in the House of Mining and Energy Workers Hoyerswerda together with the Fips Fleischer orchestra .
From the mid-1970s, Hauff & Henkler were also guests in major TV shows in the Federal Republic of Germany and Austria, such as in the ZDF hit parade , Zum Blauen Bock , in the current showroom , in the music shop , in the premiere of Bio's Bahnhof in 1978 and in the Musikantenstadl with Karl Moik .
After the fall of the Wall , they were able to establish themselves all over Germany and, following the general trend in the hit industry, shifted their singing focus more to popular hits . Her first “all-German” success was the song Heimat . Until the DFF was closed at the end of 1991, they hosted the popular TV show Musikanten sind da. They gained new audiences on festivals and tours in the United States in the 1990s .
In 1994 they received the Hermann Löns Medal from the magazine Das Neue Blatt .
Only in 2000 a new studio album was released with Nur für dich and the MDR television retrospectively dedicated a three-hour “Long Saturday” to the 30th stage anniversary with numerous old TV clips and both of them as guests live in the studio.
To this day, Hauff & Henkler appear in many programs. They also perform live in the new and old federal states. In 2013, the unmarried artists will celebrate their 45th stage anniversary. Together they sold over 20 million records.
In 2016 the duo will again be present throughout Germany with their live program of mood, hits and good humor .
