The rock band Pankow haven't released a song of their own for 13 years - now they have a new single. It's called "Bis zuletzt", will be released on November 8th and is also the Berliners' farewell song. In 2025, singer André Herzberg, guitarist Jürgen Ehle, drummer Stefan Dohanetz and keyboardist Andreas Dziuk will go on their last tour. After 44 years, Pankow will leave the stage - and with it, another band with roots in the GDR will disband.
The last song by the well-known rock group, which was founded in East Berlin in 1981, is biographical. "We laughed and argued, were separated and sometimes united. For better or for worse, we were always serious. It was the big thing, it was the dream of the world. Together we were never small," it says. The text was written by André Herzberg. He and Ehle, both 68 years old, have been part of the band since it was founded. There is no album to mark their farewell.
