About Aljoscha Rompe
- Arthur Alexander "Aljoscha" Rompe (20 October 1947 in Berlin-Buch – 23 November 2000 in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg) was the lead singer of the East German band Feeling B.
- The band began in 1983 as part of the second wave of underground punk acts operating outside the state-sanctioned music scene.
- By the time East Germany (the GDR) imploded in 1989, Feeling B had become one of the country's most popular bands.
- Soon after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Rompe co-founded the political party Wydoks, which wanted to reclaim public property on former GDR soil and fight against the takeover of the country by "money people," i.e.
- West Germans.
- He and like-minded members of the punk scene squatted several buildings in the East Berlin districts of Mitte and Prenzlauerberg.
- Rompe made films, ran pirate radio stations, and squatted for long periods of his life.
- He also spent long periods of time camping on Hiddensee island, in the Baltic Sea, with his bandmates, playing gigs, selling drinks and organizing underground festivals.
- He was of Swiss origin and died in Berlin in the year 2000 (aged 53), following a severe asthma attack.
- Christian "Flake" Lorenz, Rompe's friend and bandmate in Feeling B who later found fame with Rammstein, said "he knew how money was able to corrupt people, he didn't want to be successful in a monetary sense either, neither of us wanted to, as we were all punks."
