Rosenstolz is a music duo from Berlin , consisting of the singer AnNa R. and the songwriter and singer Peter Plate . The group was founded in 1991 in Berlin-Friedrichshain .
The songs, which are almost always sung in German, were initially stylistically somewhere between pop , chanson and rock . Especially at the beginning of their career, Rosenstolz produced music with often ambiguous texts. At that time (early to mid-1990s), the Berlin media coined the term “mundane pop” for their style.
From the year 2000 the chanson elements took more and more into the background and the pop elements came more into the foreground.
On December 20, 2012, the artists announced that they were taking an indefinite break.
In 2012 AnNa R. started working on new music with some old bandmates and friends. Your new band is called Gleis 8 .
On August 30, 2018, Peter Plate presented a previously unreleased song for the first time since the breakup. In addition, a new best-of album was released, which Plate helped put together.

In 1992 they were booed at one of their concerts in the SchwuZ gay center in Berlin . A recording of the song Klaustrophobie from one of their first concerts can be seen in the 14th episode of the gay television series Licht und Schatten by Andreas Weiß .
