Overview
- Lindenberg launched the custom train at Hamburg’s Miniatur Wunderland, following Tuesday’s unveiling with founders Frederik and Gerrit Braun beside him.
- The ‘Panik‑Express’ uses eight detailed wagons to trace eight decades of his life, from childhood in Gronau and drum work in Libya to DDR episodes and recent hits like ‘Komet’.
- Model builders created the train over several months in close collaboration with Lindenberg, who provided guidance as the scenes took shape.
- The musician called the tribute a great honor and praised how it visualizes German‑German history, including a wagon that depicts the fall of the Berlin Wall.
- The display comes ahead of further birthday events in Hamburg, with the ‘Udoversum’ exhibition set to open on April 30 before Lindenberg turns 80 on May 17.
