Editor's note

Rosenstolz, the Berlin duo with a direct emotional tone.

AnNa R. and Peter Plate formed in 1991, building a catalog that stood out in German pop.

For a sense of their melodic sense, try 'Alles über uns'. 'Der kleine Tod' frames that emotional directness well.

Rosenstolz mattered because they didn't follow conventional appearances, and their music touched on LGBTQ+ topics in a landscape that often didn't. Songs like 'Ich Bin Ich' became well-known for dealing with personal themes and identity. They attracted dedicated listeners with that direct emotional tone, even amid some criticism.

They started with the debut album 'Soubrette werd' ich nie' in 1992. Over the next decades, they put out albums like 'Himmel über Berlin' and kept recording tracks such as 'Der Grösste Trick'.

Archive material and source history

Rosenstolz formed in Berlin in 1991 as a duo of singer-songwriter AnNa R. and guitarist Peter Plate. Their debut album 'Soubrette werd' ich nie' came out the following year. They built a catalog that included albums like 'Himmel über Berlin' and 'Das große Leben' over the next couple of decades.

Their songs often dealt with personal themes and identity. Tracks like 'Ich Bin Ich' and 'Alles über uns' became well-known in Germany. In the mid-90s, they faced some public discussion about their song 'Liebe ist alles' and questions about originality, but they kept working.

AnNa R. and Peter Plate presented themselves in a way that didn't follow conventional gender appearances, and their music sometimes touched on LGBTQ+ topics. This made them stand out in the German pop landscape of the time, attracting both dedicated listeners and some criticism. They received an Echo Music Prize at one point.

They kept recording and performing, putting out songs like 'Der Grösste Trick' and 'Der kleine Tod'. Their work found an audience that connected with its direct emotional tone and melodic sense.
