activity

At the Mainz Carnival , Neger mainly plays his grandfather's evergreens , but also other songs, some of his own. He usually appears with his band Die Humbas . His song Im Schatten des Doms even made it to number 1 of the most popular Mainz Carnival songs .

The logo of his company Thomas Neger Metallsysteme GmbH , which depicts a dark blue "little man with thick lips and rings in his ears large in the palm of his hand" over a triangle or roof, has recently been described as racist . Neger rejects this criticism and points out that the logo as well as the name have been a tradition in Mainz for decades. Thomas Neger has three children.
