About event
ALEXANDER HACKE (ex Eineinandernde Neuhäusern) - KRACH
Musical reading - Munich
January 30, 2026 Pfefferberg Theater
8:00 p.m.
With kind support from the WissensART Foundation
An event by Literatur LIVE in cooperation with the Thalia bookstore. Presented by the Berliner Zeitung at the weekend.
Alexander Hacke reads from his autobiography, which will be published by Ventil Verlag in autumn 2025.
Alexander Hacke was obsessed with classical music from an early age, but then preferred to drop out of school and hang out in the West Berlin underground scene among punks, squatters and bon vivants. After his first music projects under the pseudonym Alexander von Borsig, in 1980 he became a member of the recently founded Einstreichen Neuhäusern.
While the Neuhäusern became a groundbreaking and extremely successful band, Hacke not only experimented with all sorts of stimulants, but also tirelessly continued to develop musically: be it together with his partner Christiane F., as an internationally successful solo artist, as a guitarist on Gianna Nannini's album Dispetto, as Film composer for Fatih Akin or together with his wife, the artist Danielle de Picciotto, with whom he has been roaming the world since 2010.
"Krach" is a dazzling contemporary witness to the wild West Berlin before the fall of the Berlin Wall, the story of the rise of the Einstreichen Neuhäusern and a rousing life report of a jack of all trades all in one. For the revised and expanded new edition, Hacke adds the last ten years to his memoirs, which were first published in 2015, and takes stock of his unique artist biography between avant-garde art, film music and modern nomadism.
