Controversy Over Censorship of Udo Lindenberg's Iconic Song

The Berlin-based Humboldt Forum Foundation decides to partially censor the song 'Sonderzug nach Pankow' due to concerns over the term 'Oberindianer.'

The term 'Oberindianer' in Udo Lindenberg's 1983 hit song is considered discriminatory by some Berlin choirs.
The Humboldt Forum Foundation plans to alter the word during performances by eight choirs in November.
Critics argue that this censorship is excessive and undermines the song's historical and satirical context.
The foundation acknowledges the term's colonial connotations and its potential to offend indigenous populations.
Udo Lindenberg has yet to publicly comment on the decision to modify his song.
