Life

Kade Schacht was an ubiquitous figure in Berlin nightlife in the late 1970s and 1980s. A bohemian mostly out and about in trendy pubs and music halls of punks , post-punks, genius dilletantes and in various galleries and publishers such as Merve Verlag, for which he translated various books. Humor and laughter made him stand out. A very pointed intellectuality due to great reading and studies in philosophy , ethnology , religious studies , psychoanalysisand diverse interests (including in drug experiments) made him a profound and amusing, often bizarre conversation partner, lecturer and essayist .

In the early 1980s he was program curator at the trendy Korrekt in Moabit . At the same time he wrote concert reviews for the Berlin city magazine Tip and mainly reported on artists and concerts in the former Music Hall (in Steglitz), the SO 36 ( Kreuzberg ), or Exxcess ( Charlottenburg ). And he had a fortnightly column in the same magazine called Inside until the late 1980s .

In the second half of the decade he appeared at irregular intervals in the Offener Kanal Berlin to interview personalities of the time under the pseudonym Paul Anker .

In 1989 he realized a text with IA has birthday , which he performed as a puppet theater in the paranorm gallery in Berlin-Charlottenburg, but also as a short radio play . In the early 1980s he was a hobbyist and artist in the Kreuzberg fish office.

Kade Schacht never made it easy for himself. As an activist in the mad offensive , he supported the International Antipsychiatric Declaration of Principles. For human rights - against psychiatric oppression and came into confrontation with the police ... In 1994, as a studied theologian at the Berlin Academy of the Arts, on the occasion of the festival Der Schlag curated by Frieder Butzmann , he gave a lecture entitled Blitzeinfall bei Lukas - Blitz, Inspiration and Inspiration in the New Testament .

Since the mid-1990s, he was bedridden more and more because of his MS and became increasingly blind. Karmische Tupferl is the title of a series of watercolors that Kade Schacht painted in the 1990s. Kade Schacht never saw himself as a painter, but of all things when his eyesight was increasingly limited by his illness multiple sclerosis , he began to paint.

He had a friendship with Thomas Kapielski from the 1980s until the end of his life. Schacht's event and exhibition Wallopper with Sven-Åke Johansson ( drums ) and Thomas Kapielski in the monument smithy Höfgen, Saxony , became legendary .

Schacht also took part in the sending of artists to Hoisdorf from June 3rd to 5th, 1983. (Organization Peter Hilber, Thomas Kapielski) with: Rolf-Peter Baacke, Fritz Balthaus , Ingrid Buschmann, Frieder Butzmann , Campingsex, Caspar , Werner Durand, Karl-Heinz Eckert, Antje Fels, Gerti Fietzek, Christoph Hahn (alias Kristof Hahn ), Folke Hanfeld, Thomas Kiesel, Daniel Wandke, Nils Krüger & Die Tonkneter, Lucie, Fritz Rahmann, Nanaé Suzuki, Peter Tscherkassky u. v. a.

Previously, now married and father of a son, he had tried to put his life on a more solid basis by training to be a religion teacher at high schools. His extremely unconventional teaching style and disagreement with the instructors and institutions led to the termination. Schacht's last breadwork consisted of excerpting old Brandenburg church records ; he had the rare ability to read the church book entries of the 17th and 18th centuries, which were very difficult to read.

In 2011, Frieder Butzmann announced at the BONE Festival for Action Art in Bern, alluding to the title of Schacht's watercolor collection, that he would appear under Karmic Dabs - for KaDe Schacht and six other brilliant deceased .
