Original German maker
The Original Deutschmacher (originally “ Radio Bremen 4 singt deutsch”) now consist of the duo Arnd Zeigler (“Arnie”) and Berthold Brunsen (“Bert”). They also appear as "Arnie and Bert". This is a project that, since the beginning of the 1990s, initially translated English texts into German in an exaggerated manner and thus deliberately distorted the meaning, but later interpreted them more freely and finally wrote fan songs for SV Werder Bremen (“Lebenslang grün-weiß "," The W on the jersey "). At first they could only be heard on Radio Bremen , later almost nationwide. At times they had regular television appearances on N3 (in the "Swutsch" series) and in the "100 Grad" series ( Deutsche Welle Fernsehen, Berlin). The Original Deutschmacher released 11 CDs and were involved in several other CDs.
