Tote-Hosen frontman Campino thrilled the audience at Düsseldorf University with his lecture “Declaration of Love for Common Poetry”.
According to “WDR,” Campino declared the title of the lecture: He first came across the term “common poetry” in connection with the writer Erich Kästner (1899-1947). “That description is also how I feel most comfortable with what we do,” he said of his band.
“It was great”
There was “a lot of applause” for his lesson, as the station reports. The success of the lecture is also reflected in the social media comments with which Campino and Kuddel thank the audience. “Thank you for a great experience! It was a pleasure! See you again at the second lecture on April 23rd. – Campino”, can be read on the band page.
“Thank you very much for the great event! It was great,” replies one participant. Another writes: “Thank you for this special afternoon and the personal insights.” Another comment: “Thank you, it was great, humorous and educational! Your fan from Italy”.
Campino will give two lectures in April
On March 11th, the university in Campino’s hometown had his visiting professorship announced on their official website. Campino, whose real name is Andreas Frege, will give two lectures. The musician will hold the second lecture on April 23rd. He then lectures on the topic “Everyone has something to say. The cacophony of our time”.
With his guest professorship, the musician inherits well-known predecessors such as Wolf Biermann (87), Joschka Fischer (75), Ulrich Wickert (81) and Marcel Reich-Ranicki (1920-2013), who was the first Heinrich Heine visiting professor in 1991.
