Historical background

Engerling was founded in 1975 and quickly became a fixture in the East German rock scene. Their sound was heavily influenced by American blues rock, yet unmistakably unique. Their lyrics often combined social observations with poetic imagery, giving the band a special place in the music landscape.
At a time when Western rock music was only available to a limited extent in East Germany, bands like Engerling offered a powerful and authentic alternative for the local audience. To this day, Engerling is appreciated as a cult band of East German rock and continues to perform live.
