Hamburg has its Schlager Move this Saturday – Pankow has the Schlager Radio Summer Tour!
The “Freies Land” allotment garden on Romain-Rolland-Strasse can keep up with the event on the Elbe, at least in terms of the duration of the German-language music played.
Schlager radio program director Norm Sträche (48) to BZ: “What the Hamburgers can do, the Schlager friends in Pankow have been able to do for a long time! The mood here is at least as exuberant as on the Reeperbahn. And there’s even free beer and free bratwurst here!”

The weather cooperates. The conditions are top notch! The allotment gardeners have prepared the festival area professionally and lovingly. Club chairman Peter Molnar (68): “It would be laughable if we didn’t use this afternoon with Schlager Radio to really party. We don’t need to hide behind the Schlage-Move fans here. We have 409 plots here on 15 hectares and our members really put their hands on their small manicured gardens all year round. They really deserve this summer festival.”
Monika Galinski (33) has been on the dance floor for a long time. She says to the BZ: “That’s really true. And most of us here really love the pop song. On August 5th, we’re going with my parcel neighbors to the Schlager Radio ‘Schlager Hammer’ in Oranienburg. We can really party for seven hours with a lot of artists like Marianne Rosenberg or Olaf Henning, who we all know from TV.”

And the Schlager Radio Summer Tour fans can practice hard for that today. DJ Marcello bangs one discofox hit after the other into the sound machine. “It’s a great honor for me to be doing a little battle against the Schlager Move disc jockeys over the distance to Hamburg today. I’m amazed at how grateful people are for my music.”
