Musical career

Wolfsheim (1987-2004)

Reinhardt's career at Wolfsheim began in 1987 as a founding member alongside Pompejo Ricciardi. After Pompejo Ricciardi and Oliver Reinhardt, who joined the band at short notice, left the band in the same year, the Wolfsheim duo formed with substitute Peter Heppner. The two quickly played themselves in such a way that Reinhardt is responsible for the music and Heppner for the lyrics. Wolfsheim's first real success was with the maxi single The Sparrows and the Nightingales , which appeared in 1991 and developed into a Europe-wide club hit. After several albums and tours, Wolfsheim reached number two in the charts in 1998 with their fourth studio album, Spectators . This success could be topped with the following album Casting Shadows 2003, which placed at number one in the German album charts . At the beginning of 2007 Reinhardt tried to exclude his long-time band colleague Heppner from the joint band project Wolfsheim and sued the Hamburg district court for this purpose . However, the action was dismissed, as was the appeal before the competent higher regional court . Heppner repeatedly emphasized in interviews that he would continue to be very interested in continuing Wolfsheim. Since then there has been no further activity from Wolfsheim.
