Biography

Trude Herr, born Trude Herr on May 4, 1927, in Cologne, Germany, is a singer and actress. Her father, Robert Herr, was a locomotive driver who was imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps due to his communist affiliations. After her family's apartment was destroyed during World War II, Trude worked as a typist and later in tourism before turning to acting. Herr's breakthrough in music came in 1958 when she performed “Ich will keine Schokolade” at the Tingel-Tangel cabaret in Berlin. This led to her first notable single release, “Ich will keine Schokolade”, which reached number 18 on the charts. Her career flourished with subsequent singles such as “Morgens bin ich immer müde” (1960), “Tschitschibum” (1961), and “Spiegel-Twist / Autofahrer-Blues” (1962). She later released the album Ich sage, was ich meine (1987). Notable songs also include “Niemals geht man so ganz” (1987), the latter featuring collaborations with Wolfgang Niedecken of BAP and Tommy Engel of Bläck Fööss. Herr also acted in several films, including Marina (1960) and Conny und Peter machen Musik (1960). Despite health issues that led to her retirement from performing in 1986, she continued recording music until her death on March 16, 1991.
