Musical development

Regine Dobberschütz learned to play the piano at the age of four. Her father was a composer and sound engineer . At the age of 16 she was already on stage with the rock band Studio-Team Leipzig . At an amateur competition in Suhl she was discovered by Hans-Joachim "Neumi" Neumann , who brought her to East Berlin , where she began training as a singer at the Friedrichshain Music School .

She broke off her training when Hugo Laartz brought her to the Modern Soul Band in 1974 . There she took over the vocal part together with Klaus Nowodworski and shaped the band with her voice until 1976. From 1977 to 1978 she performed with the Klaus Lenz Big Band . When Wolfgang Fiedler founded the band Fusion , which emerged from the core of the Klaus Lenz Band, he brought Regine Dobberschütz and Hansi Klemm into his formation as vocal soloists.

As a soloist she went on tour with Axel “Glenn” Müller ( alto saxophone ) and Jürgen Kratzenberg ( bass ) and worked with Günther Fischer and Stefan Diestelmann. She performed with Diestelmann at the blues fairs in East Berlin, traveled with him to the republic and appeared at the 1978 Erfurt press festival, where the bluesers and the police fought a real battle. During her collaboration with Günther Fischer, the soundtrack for the DEFA feature film Solo Sunny was created , her greatest success. From 1980 she worked with the Wolfgang Fiedler Quintet in various line-ups. Concert tours with "Regine Dobberschütz & Friends" followed. In 1981 Dobberschütz went with Fusion on a seven-week concert tour through the European part of what was then the Soviet Union. In the same year she submitted an application to leave the country . After that, Regine Dobberschütz performed in a duo with guitarist Charlie Eitner .

In 1983 she married Eugen Hahn, the former bassist of the Modern Soul Band . They left the GDR together in the same year or 1984. From 1986 to 2013 they jointly ran Europe's oldest jazz club, the Jazzkeller in Frankfurt am Main. In the 1990s and 2000s Dobberschütz also performed there with the trio of Klaus Wagenleiter and many other jazz musicians.

Regine Dobberschütz lives in Berlin again today.
