Die Zöllner in Zingst

Die Zöllner are a German rock, soul and funk band formed in East Berlin in 1987 by singer Dirk Zöllner and keyboard player André Gensicke. They became known during the final years of the GDR through songs including “Käfer auf’m Blatt,” “Viel zu weit” and “Du bist mein Ziel,” as well as the albums Die Zöllner and Café Größenwahn. A full-band lineup featuring a horn section has been central to their concerts since their early years. The repertoire has also appeared in a smaller theatre and club format featuring Dirk Zöllner, André Gensicke and cellist Tobias Unterberg, billed as Die Zöllner im Trio Infernale.
