History

The founding idea for Goethes Erben was to combine German spoken words with musical theater. They are one of the first Neue Deutsche Todeskunst bands. [1]

By 1991, Peter had left the band and was replaced by American Mindy Kumbalek in February. Their debut album Das Sterben ist ästhetisch bunt was released in 1991.

The band's unique blend of music and theater lends itself well to multimedia releases, and they have used DVDs with pictures, interviews and concert footage since 2001. [2]

Goethes Erben have established themselves as favorite festival band, playing at M'era Luna 2001, the Eurorock Festival in Belgium, and Wave-Gotik-Treffen 2002. Their album Nichts Bleibt Wie Es War was on the 2002 German Alternative Charts for 7 weeks, peaking at #3. [3]

In July 2006, the band announced that they would have 2 concerts on the 14th and 15 September 2007, and that these would be their last concerts for a long time. The concerts sold out very quickly, and an additional concert was scheduled for September 13. On December 15, 2007, Mindy Kumbalek and Oswald Henke posted an open letter on their website explaining that the band would be going on indefinite hiatus.
