The Phenomenon Schlager

Helene Fischer, Andreas Gabalier or Beatrice Egli - the new stars in the German Schlager sky inspire the masses. What makes it special is that there are more and more young people among the fans. There is no longer any question of prejudice against German songs, because today's popular pop hits have nothing to do with hits from the 70s. The four-hour documentary event "The Schlager Phenomenon" explores the question of why this genre of music has become so popular in recent years and lets many new but also established stars of the industry such as Andrea Berg, Alexander Klaws, DJ Ötzi, Costa and Lucas Cordalis or Michelle have their say in interviews shot exclusively for the documentary with their personal stories and assessments.Experts such as music journalist Jan Feddersen comment on the current musical zeitgeist and classify the developments in the genre.
