Censor debate: Udo Lindenberg's Oberindian causes excitement!

Pankow, Deutschland - A storm of indignation is brewed! Udo Lindenberg's legendary hit "Special train to Pankow" from 1983 is censored because of the term "Oberindian"! This decision not only shakes the music scene, but also heated the minds of politicians and media representatives. Bundestag Vice President Wolfgang Kubicki was outraged: "How cultural is actually to censor a lyrics in a row with serious crimes in American colonial history?"

Markus Lanz comments on the censorship

In the middle of this heated debate, the well-known TV presenter Markus Lanz also speaks. In his podcast "Lanz & Precht", he talks about the controversy around Lindenberg's song right from the start. "We have become so sensitive that even Udo Lindenberg has to apologize for his Oberindian," shocked Lanz his listeners. The South Tyrolean, who receives a stately fee of 14,000 euros per episode for his ZDF programs, is stunned by censorship: "Someone who says Erich Honecker when he says Oberindianer ... I mean, just where Udo Lindenberg is. He has campaigned against right-wing radicalism."

his podcast guest Richard David Precht agrees and describes the discussion about the "Oberindianer" as absurd. "Udo Lindenberg is more of the left bubble. And it is now exactly this left bubble that nailed him on the cross," says Lanz. The ironic hit, which once put the head of state of the GDR onto the grain, is now the goal of a censorship craze that splits society and questions the freedom of art. An outcry of the outrage that does not remain unadorned in public!
