Former Rail Union Leader Claus Weselsky Joins Jan Böhmermann on Stage

The ex-GDL boss made a surprise appearance conducting a satirical song about himself during the kickoff of Böhmermann's concert tour in Frankfurt.

Claus Weselsky, former head of the German Train Drivers' Union (GDL), appeared as a surprise guest at the opening concert of Jan Böhmermann's 'Eisern Ehrenfeld' tour in Frankfurt.
Weselsky conducted the Rundfunk-Tanzorchester Ehrenfeld during the performance of a satirical song titled 'Claus Weselsky (ist immer noch da),' written about him by Böhmermann.
The 65-year-old Weselsky, known for his role in controversial railway strikes, received applause from the sold-out audience for his unexpected appearance.
Jan Böhmermann, a satirist and host of the ZDF Magazin Royale, has previously featured Weselsky in his work, highlighting the divisive impact of the former union leader's negotiations.
The 'Eisern Ehrenfeld' tour, described as a satirical-political revue with music and sharp lyrics, marks the fourth collaboration between Böhmermann and the Rundfunk-Tanzorchester Ehrenfeld.
