Goethes Erben are regarded as one of the style-defining bands of the gothic scene in the 90s.
The formation around and with frontman Oswald Henke has been active since 1989 and has continued to develop ever since.
Henke describes his artistic work as “German-language music theatre”. An apt description for such a multi-faceted project, in which the lyrics (more spoken than sung) always have a very special significance.
But Goethes Erben is not “just” music: several musical theatre pieces (including “Rückkehr ins Niemandsland” and “Menschenstille”) have premiered over the years and have been recorded for posterity.
