After attending the Isebek school in Hamburg-Eimsbüttel , Isenbart initially trained as a dental technician before turning to music and the performing arts, which he remained loyal to until his death.

Musician

Isenbart was a founding member of the Hamburg band Ougenweide , which is still considered a role model for bands in the genre of medieval rock . As a drummer and percussionist he played the albums Ougenweide , All die because I like , Ohrenschmaus and Eulenspiegel with the band between 1973 and 1976 . Up to 180 tour concerts a year and several appearances in television productions quickly made the band known in the Federal Republic of Germany.

He produced the bizarre and funny video clips in his own apartment. Due to the connections between the open channels, Isenbart was soon known outside of Hamburg, which earned him, among other things, an appearance in Stefan Raab's show TV total on Pro7, where he was presented with the “Raab of the week”. With his “salt collection” he also appeared on the NDR talk show .
