Rio Reiser would have been 75 years old. Before he became the “König von Deutschland”, he was the King of Kreuzberg - together with his band Ton Steine Scherben. In 1968, Rio moved to Berlin-Kreuzberg, at the time a blank spot on the city map, and made the area around Heinrichplatz his home. Together with R. P. S. Lanrue (1950 - 2024), Kai Sichtermann and Wolfgang Seidel, he founded Ton Steine Scherben and changed German rock music forever.
