Life
Helge Schneider invented the stage name Sergej Gleithmann in the early 1980s during a tour. As part of a number, the long beard was combed over the face, pinned with glasses and jokingly introduced to Gleithmann as a lion person. From 1995 Gleithmann first played the saxophone and congas in Helge Schneider's backing band. After that, Gleithmann appeared as an expressive dancer on many of Schneider's tours throughout Germany . During the Tour I Brake Together (2006-2008) he appeared as the Caucasian beard woman Gisela Koch .
Gleithmann is also active as an actor. He appeared in the films of Helge Schneider and Christoph Schlingensief and worked with the experimental filmmaker Werner Nekes from Mülheim .
