Ingo Insterburg: The songwriter died at the age of 84 years
Ingo Insterburg succumbed to cancer last Saturday in the Charlottenburg district of Berlin, as his manager Frank Nietsch, among others, the "B.Z." confirmed. The songwriter, who was actually Ingo Wetzker, was 84 years old.
Beer flute and bass broom
Insterburg belonged to the most well-known musicians of Germany. In 1967 he founded the Komikerband Insterburg & Co. with Karl Dall, Jürgen Barz and Peter Ehlebracht. The original cast existed until 1979. One of her best known works was the song "I loved a girl". The troupe was also considered a trailblazer for comedy stars like Otto Waalkes (70).
In 1994, the group was officially dissolved and Insterburg began solo on. Among his very special skills was the invention of bizarre instruments such as the beer flute or bass broom.
