Ina Müller Calls Herself a Workaholic, Rethinks Younger Colleagues’ Slower Pace

She casts her drive as a 'late Wirtschaftswunder' ethic, admitting younger teams’ measured tempo gives her pause.

Overview

  • In a dpa interview in Hamburg, the 60-year-old said she “rehearses to the point of exhaustion” and struggles to tell crews to take a break.
  • She links her approach to being from the “late Wirtschaftswunder” generation that believes hard work delivers results.
  • Working with younger staff, she catches herself wishing they would move faster, then feels “a bit ashamed” of the thought.
  • She also concedes the younger rhythm might be healthier, saying people should take more time and be more “Ohm.”
  • Her new album 6.0 is currently No. 1 on the German charts, with a Germany tour advertised to start in October 2026 with more than 50 dates.
