2026 Book Tour

In his search for new directions, it was a two-month club tour in Amsterdam that inspired him greatly and encouraged him to put his idea into action.
The early years were tough. Without Thomas Fritzsching, “Silly” would not have survived. Time and again, he sought and found solutions, even in seemingly hopeless situations. But in the end, his strategy paid off.
In his book, he describes the long road to success—the adversities and the emotional rollercoaster between euphoria and despair; the attempts by those in power within state institutions to destroy the band by any means necessary; and the solidarity of a close-knit community, as well as human weaknesses, disappointments, selfishness, and external temptations.
