Riggingwerk will no longer work with Rammstein at their concerts. This was shared by Aeneas Hohenadl, managing director of the event company “World” with.
Hohenadl stated that certain processes were “an open secret” in the industry. Riggingwerk cooperated with Rammstein as a sub-partner.
In event technology, riggers are people working at heights who are busy assembling and dismantling the trusses at concerts. Riggers hang these trusses with lifting loops, chains, ropes and shackles at certain points under the hall ceiling.
Managing director Hohenadl also addressed the alleged “black room” in which Till Lindemann was reportedly presented with women. This space under the stage was known to the crew as the “suck box”. In addition, according to Hohenadl, independent of the “Row Zero” system, security personnel were also given the task of going through the rows during the concerts and recruiting young women for the “Suck Box”.
Hohenadl now says: “As a company, we distance ourselves from the band Rammstein. I rule out working with Till Lindemann or the band Rammstein in the future.”
The band’s next stop tomorrow, Wednesday, will be Trenčín in Slovakia. Meanwhile, the radio station Radioeins is pausing the monthly show with Rammstein keyboardist Flake.
