from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sepp Gußmann (born August 23, 1927 in Berlin ; † March 10, 2015 in Darmstadt ; actually Horst Gußmann ) was a German musician, conductor and composer .

Life

Horst Gußmann was born in Berlin in 1927, but his family moved to Darmstadt soon after. There he was Günter Strack's schoolmate . His musical talent was already noticed as a schoolboy.

At the Darmstadt Heinerfest he was there from the beginning (1951) and performed with his newly founded “Darmstadt Dance Orchestra”. He later expanded it into the “Original Bavarian Trachtenkapelle”. He romped through the bars in the Rhine-Main region , such as the Frankfurt train station district or Mainz . The repertoire of musical styles ranged from big band sound to dance music and hits to circus marches , because from the 1960s onwards, a troupe under Gußmann's direction was on the way with Sarrasani and Circus Krone .

Until 2007, Sepp Gußmann created a good atmosphere with his band at the Dürkheim sausage market for over four decades . As the “honorary bandmaster of the Dürkheim sausage market”, the then 80-year-old was adopted into the self-chosen “sausage market retirement”.

One of his most famous songs is Rucki Zucki , which he composed to the tune of Good Night Ladies and which through the television carnival session Mainz remains Mainz, as it sings and laughs with the interpreter Ernst Neger became known.

Gußmann was buried in the old cemetery in Darmstadt.
