Farin Urlaub is a singer and guitarist and I can't imagine that there is anyone here who doesn't know his band DIE ÄRZTE. Die Ärzte are my first favorite band in my life, my whole bedroom was covered in their posters and even though I was raised Christian, there is only one God for me too. Bela Farin Rod. Even though I no longer have Ärzte posters on my wall, I listen to every album by the band - including their new album "Dunkel" of course. What has fascinated me for years is how creative the band and especially Farin Urlaub is. He has so many fantastic songs. "Teenagerliebe", "Du wollen mich küsse", "Zu spät", "Junge", "Schrei nach Liebe", "Meine Explodierte Freundin", "Westerland", "Deine Schuld", "Ich, am Strand", "Leben vor dem Tod" and "Bonjour Tristesse". Who does he write these songs for, what do they mean to him? In general: what means what to him? We talk in detail about his creative work. It's about his relationship with Bela and Rod and also a little bit with the rest of the world. It's about doubt, drive, balance, neo-Nazis and trade fair construction. For me, it's not just a special episode because I met a star cutout in real life. It's also a small birthday, because the first episode of Hotel Matze came out five years ago today - October 27th. Back then, I was sitting at the hotel bar with Ronja von Rönne. The interview with Farin Urlaub is the 166th interview. And something else is special: it's Farin Urlaub's birthday today too. Happy birthday to both of us! Hip hip hooray, everything is great, everything is wonderful. A real holiday.
