MELISSA NASCHENWENG with third number 1 album in Austria, number 4 in Switzerland
CITY: Your prize was awarded by a jury – the audience voted for western stars
It’s exciting: The MDR, as the broadcaster of the East, is calling for online voting, a magazine that is particularly popular in the East is donating the Goldene Henne prize – and the PUBLIKUMS prizes go exclusively to West stars. The presenter KAI PFLAUME from the East was replaced by FLORIAN SILBEREISEN from Bavaria. As a reminder, here are the prizes awarded by the audience:Â
- ENTERTAINMENT: ROLAND KAISER from West Berlin (Here it must be said, however, that to the best of our knowledge none of the nominees are from East Germany – amazing for a prize that is awarded in memory of the East German legend HELGA HAHNEMANN).
- MUSIC: MICHAEL PATRICK KELLY from Dublin (Here, too, the opposing candidates were not East-affine: PETER MAFFAY, SANTIANO, ANDREAS GABALIER).
- play:Â SVENJA JUNG from Rhineland-Palatinate(Here, with KATRIN SASS, LEANDER HAUSSMANN and NADJA UHL, at least there would have been candidates with local color)
- SPORTS: The women’s foursome on track was victorious – four women from the west of the republic.(The footballers from Red Bull Leipzig and the handball players from SC Magdeburg were nominated, among others).
- #ONLINESTARS: “GNU” from Baden-Württemberg won in this young category
- CLIMBERS of the year is SOPHIA from Wetter an der Ruhr – we have already reported about it HERE
“Dumb” that also the Lifetime Achievement Award went to a Greek woman – NANA MOUSKOURI.Â
After all, there was a well-deserved honorary award (but it is NOT an audience award, which the Goldene Henne promises to be) for the emergency services who were on duty during the forest fires in Saxon Switzerland and were able to prevent worse.
And so you might have an honorary award for the group very quickly (also deserved, of course, but also not chosen by the audience). CITY At the end of the year two big concerts in Berlin will bid farewell to the numerous fans.Â

In contrast to many hit stars, the CITY group obviously has a good promoter who provided us with information about the “Golden Henne” – of course we don’t want to withhold that from you:Â
Press info on the Golden Hen from CITY
The surprise on Friday evening was perfect. It was clear that the Berlin cult band CITY in the Golden Henne TV Gala a song from her current Top3 album „The last round“And their hits “Am Fenster” and “Casablanca” perform, but it was amazing that singer Toni Krahl, guitarist Fritz Puppel, violinist and bassist Georgi Gogow and keyboarder Manfred Hennig received a “Goldene Henne” for the second time after 2007 the musicians then .Â
CITY can look back on 50 successful years with around more than 2,500 concerts, over 15 million records sold and countless hits (besides the aforementioned “Der King vom Prenzlauer Berg”, “Glasraum”, ” “Wand an Wand”, †žBerlin (e.g. Susann)†). The special thing about their career is undoubtedly that the success of the East German band never ends at the walls of the small country. There were gold discs in both Germany and Greece. Max Herre, Scooter, Matthias Reim, the Puhdys, Karat and Silly have covered their songs.
In this respect, it is only logical that Germany’s largest audience and media prize, which has also been awarded to colleagues such as Udo Lindenberg, Peter Maffay or the Scorpions, goes to CITY once again. An honorary award in music at CITY; probably the only band from Prenzlauer Berg whose songs are also sung in Athens.
The five decades of CITY bundle so many success stories that they could have rested on their laurels a bit in the big anniversary year, but anyone who knows CITY knows that it is not possible for the band to be an institution that is constantly evolving. So successful CITY in the anniversary year – which is the last one, so to speak – together with the Berliner Symphoniker, toured diligently, could be experienced with a four-hour TV special, published an extensive biography and published a Album of new songs that has been in the charts for 16 weeks so far, seven of them in the top 20
The final quarter of CITY begins with the award of the Golden Henne. Less than 100 days and the band is history, German music history. CITY use the last few weeks to say goodbye to their large audience. Whether in Hamburg or Leipzig, whether in Erfurt or Hanover. The final follows on December 29th and 30th in the Mercedes Benz Arena in Berlin; There are still a few tickets left – see you!
