from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jürgen Hart (born September 20, 1942 in Treuen ; † April 9, 2002 in Leipzig ) was a German cabaret artist and singer. He was the lyricist and singer of the song " Sing, mei Sachse, sing ".

Life

Jürgen Hart already undertook during his school days in Auerbach / Vogtl. first attempts at cabaret. From 1963 to 1967 he completed a diploma course at the Karl-Marx-Universität Leipzig (corresponds to today's course of teaching at grammar schools) in the subjects of German and music. The student cabaret " academixer " was created here in 1966 and initially went on tour as a free group. Hart worked as a teacher from 1967 to 1970. Until 1976 he was head of the university's poetic theater and then in 1977 - when the student cabaret was converted into a professional cabaret - head of the academixer, which subsequently became one of the most popular cabarets in the GDR .

After 1990 Hart appeared in solo programs together with his wife Katrin Hart . Increasingly, he was an actor (theater director Emanuel Striese in "The Robbery of the Sabine Women " at the Munich Volkstheater , leading role in "Augen zu und durch - the unserious history of Saxony", his own play at the Schauspielhaus Chemnitz) and author ("The Grandma in the Refrigerator" ( Crime), "From the Gnome Republic. Fairy tales without anger and resentment") in appearance.

He wrote 40 cabaret programs, some of which have been preserved on records. Many of his scenes were re-enacted by other cabarets, such as the Leipziger Pfeffermühle . In March 2002 Hart was honored with the Saxon Order of Merit . Wolfgang Schaller , head of the Dresden cabaret “ Herkuleskeule ”, said: “Nobody knows a line from many a poet of the century, but Jürgen Hart's Sing, mei Sachse, sing , which has become a folk song .” From the song published in 1979 , which Hart wrote and Arndt Bause provided with a melody, almost 200,000 records were sold. The LP "Hart auf Hart", released by Amiga in 1980, contained eleven titles by Hart and Bause.

Jürgen Hart became seriously ill with bone cancer in October 2001 and died of it six months later at the age of 59. His grave is in the south cemetery in Leipzig, next to that of the Saxon dialect poet Lene Voigt .

Until his death he was married to the cabaret artist Katrin Hart, who is still a member of the Academixer even after his death. His two daughters also perform there.
