Bertram Engel

In the organizer's words:

Stories from 1001 tours - and even more from 50 years of rock 'n' roll

Bertram Engel is regarded as the best drummer in Germany. He has played in the bands of Udo Lindenberg and Peter Maffay for decades and has written many a song for them. He shares great successes and numerous legendary experiences with both stars.

His autobiography was published in September 2024, a piece of first-hand music history, a disarming look behind the scenes. The title of the book, "Mit alten Männern spiel' ich nicht!" (I don't play with old men!), stems from a tantrum Bertram Engel threw at the Maffay band, which he felt played too sluggishly. After completing his major tour of the same name, which was enthusiastically celebrated by audiences in all major German cities, Bertram Engel now presents excerpts from his show program in Mannheim and tells stories from "1001 tours - and even more from 50 years of rock 'n' roll". He also shows disarming private photos and occasionally takes to the keys. Because even a reading can't be done without music. Bertram Engel turns out to be an excellent pianist and a charismatic singer.
