A portrait of a sensitive anarchist

At the center is Klaus Renft, the East German rock legend, whose name stands for contradiction, stance, and unbridled stage energy. According to the Schwerin event page, the event portrays the sensitive anarchist and explores Renft's significance for rock music in Germany, complemented by private insights, quotes from Stasi files, and diaries. This makes the evening exciting not only for East rock fans but also for visitors who want to experience music as a historical document.

Schirneck between storytelling and song

Andreas Schirneck is documented on his official website as a versatile musician with solo programs, readings, and duo projects; his long engagement with Neil Young and Klaus Renft is also visible there. For the Renft program: the second part of the evening is musical, personal, and immediate when Schirneck performs selected pieces from that shared Löhmaer song duo time. This mix of storytelling, guitar, and direct audience proximity shapes the concert experience. ([andreas-schirneck.de](https://www.andreas-schirneck.de/?utm_source=openai))

KlangWert in werk3: close, focused, atmospheric

werk3 / KlangWert is one of the smaller, focused music venues in the city. The miz classifies the place as a music club with a visitor capacity of 70 people; the official KlangWert site lists the address as Friedrichstraße 11, 19055 Schwerin. The central location in the city center remains an advantage for travel, while the evening in an intimate setting gets particularly close to voice, acoustics, and stage performance.

What makes the evening special

Here, rock historical memory, journalistically narrated backgrounds, and handcrafted music come together. Schirneck often works with reading formats, acoustic programs, and programmatic homages, according to his own website; this gives the evening structure and depth. Visitors do not experience a nostalgic backtrack off the shelf but a carefully constructed live format with sound, context, and stance.
