Pankow is saying goodbye: Nostalgia concert inspires the Leipzig fans!

The legend lives, but now the end is approaching: On July 12, 2025, the GDR cult band Pankow said goodbye with a furious appearance of their fans in Leipzig. On the idyllic Parkbühne Geyserhaus, the band's last concert on time travel through more than four decades. The audience enjoyed the best of their hits, and the nostalgic review let many tear flow. The appearance lasted two hours, and the seats were completely sold out 30 minutes before the start, reports the LVZ .

The evening was characterized by a solemn mood in which the fans could indulge in their memories. Hit around HIT followed the journey into the past, like "I am", "Ruilance in the Eye" and "On the verge of madness". The performance of the song "A new day in Pankow" was particularly touching, in which guitarist Jürgen Ehle shone with an impressive solo. Front man André Herzberg got involved in a warm interaction, especially with the classic "Give me a sign" when the crowd enthusiastically wrote back: "Pankow! Pankow!". To the crowning glory, the last song "Until last" was played, an emotional highlight that combined the audience and the band and made the worthy farewell.

The story of Pankow

Pankow was founded in the GDR in 1979 and quickly established itself as the language of the departure and the rebellion. Her music - a mix of rock and new wave - was very well received by a generation of young people, especially in the 1980s. The band was not only considered a musical size, but also as a voice of its time. With critical and provocative texts, they managed to address social issues and brought the waves of change to the east of Germany, which ultimately led to the turn. It is no wonder that even at the last concert, this meaningful time was always initiated. If you want to learn more about your story, you will find more information in the wikipedia .

The band has published numerous hits over the years and celebrated significant successes, as with “Rock for Peace” in 1983 in the Palace of the Republic. After the turn and a few restructuring in the band formation, it was in particular André Herzberg, who repeatedly broke into various activities and kept the band of the band alive.

a last greeting from Berlin

On July 12, 2023, there was also a much discussed appearance in Berlin on the Weißensee open -air stage. Despite a rainy day, the band decided to play under the motto "until the end". The rain did not prevent the fans from celebrating their rock legend. Similar to Leipzig, the mood was shaped by joy and sadness, while Herzberg told about his childhood in this place. This once again underlines the deep connection that the band developed with their audience, as well as the KURIER

With the last concert, Pankow not only shaped her loyal fans, but also the cultural landscape between East and West. Your music and the memories associated with it will accompany us for a long time. A farewell that goes into the history books.
