Overview

• The documentary has been streaming in the ARD Mediathek since 19 August and is scheduled on Das Erste on 20 August at 22:50.
• Schneider and longtime collaborator Sandro Giampietro shot it without a screenplay as a freeform project.
• The film forgoes interview passages in favor of original home‑movie footage, short sketches and work excerpts on stage and in studio.
• Music serves as the throughline, with performances including his well‑known song Katzeklo.
• The rollout forms part of programming around Schneider’s 70th birthday on 30 August, when his tour lists a concert in Hamburg’s Stadtpark.
