About Tyske Ludder
Tyske Ludder is a German electronic body music (EBM) band formed in 1989 by Claus Albers and Olaf A. Reimers. The band’s name, translating to “German whores” in Danish and Norwegian, refers to women who fraternized with German soldiers during World War II.
Initially influenced by the New Wave and New Romantic movements, Tyske Ludder transitioned to an all-electronic format around 1989, focusing on EBM. Their lyrics often address themes such as technological dominance, military conflicts, and political issues.
The band’s debut album, “Bombt die Mörder?“, was released in 1994, followed by “Dalmarnock” in 1995. After a hiatus starting in 1996, Tyske Ludder reunited in 2003, leading to subsequent releases like “Sojus” (2006), “Anonymous” (2009), and “Evolution” (2015).
Over the years, the lineup expanded to include members such as Ralf Homann, Jay Taylor, and Sebastian I. Hartmann.
In 2024, the band announced a new album titled “Weltbühne”, to be released in 2025.
About Kurt Tucholsky
Kurt Tucholsky (1890–1935) was a German journalist, satirist, and writer, renowned for his sharp wit and incisive commentary during the Weimar Republic. Born on January 9, 1890, in Berlin-Moabit, he pursued law studies but gravitated towards literature and journalism. In 1912, he published “Rheinsberg: A Storybook for Lovers”.
Tucholsky contributed extensively to the weekly magazine “Die Schaubühne,” later renamed “Die Weltbühne”, where he critiqued political and social issues. Writing under pseudonyms like Kaspar Hauser, Peter Panter, Theobald Tiger, and Ignaz Wrobel, he addressed topics such as militarism, nationalism, and the rise of Nazism.
A staunch pacifist and left-wing democrat, Tucholsky warned against anti-democratic tendencies in politics and the military. In 1924, he moved to Paris as a correspondent and later settled in Sweden in 1930. Following the Nazi rise to power in 1933, his works were banned and burned, and his German citizenship was revoked. Facing deteriorating health and disillusionment, Tucholsky died by suicide on December 21, 1935, in Gothenburg, Sweden.
