Sonderzug nach Pankow

Overview

On March 25, 2015, Udo Lindenberg's special train to Pankow became a reality. BVG and rbb Radiowelle 88.8 invited the artist to take a ride on U-Bahn line 2. The journey started at the Olympiastadion subway station and ended in Pankow. His song "Sonderzug nach Pankow" (Special train to Pankow) had caused a stir in both the West and the East in 1983. The song was a cheeky request to the comrades to let him perform in the GDR - in vain. When he was allowed to sing for the first and only few times in the GDR in October 1983, his "Sonderzug nach Pankow" was not allowed. In March 2015, Udo Lindenberg traveled to Pankow on a special train on U-Bahn line 2, accompanied by rbb reporters.
