laut.fm – schlager1

Behind the name schlager1 is a channel operated on the laut.fm platform, whose musical spectrum goes well beyond the classic Schlager genre. The focus lies on a combination of international pop, new wave and German-language hit songs of the past decades. In the show Rotation, listeners encounter artists such as Depeche Mode, Duran Duran or Robbie Williams. Productions by Shakira, Dexys Midnight Runners or The Human League are also firm fixtures of the daily schedule.

The playlist also includes specific hits of the Neue Deutsche Welle, such as Hubert Kah with “Sternenhimmel”, and combines them with party tracks such as Gottlieb Wendehals’ “Polonase Blankenese”. The selection is complemented by pop acts such as No Angels, Sarah Connor or T.A.T.U. as well as classics by Kim Carnes or the Pointer Sisters. As a purely online station, it forgoes a terrestrial frequency and instead distributes its programme via digital channels such as the laut.fm webstream and corresponding applications for mobile devices and smart speaker systems.
