Funky Friends The Amigos Granted Honorary Citizenship in Hungen
Ever the humble roots type, brothers Karl-Heinz (76) and Bernd Ulrich (74), better known as The Amigos, received an immense honor - the title of Honorary Citizens of their hometown, Hungen. The celebratory event took place during a lively festival on the town square in Central Hesse, with Mayor Rainer Wengorsch (Free Voters) presenting the prestigious titles.
"This is a massive accolade," noted Bernd Ulrich, assuring the delighted crowd of residents and fans that they'd always be the "two rural musicians from Villingen."
With a music career spanning an impressive 55 years, these brothers - born and raised in the Hungen district of Villingen - have made waves in the folk-oriented Schlager scene. Their albums have reached the top of the official German album charts a whopping 16 times, with tracks like "Ich geh' für dich durchs Feuer" and "Zwischen Liebe und Wahnsinn" being favorites.
A Touch of Class, A Dash of Humanity
In his speech, Mayor Wengorsch hailed the brothers' down-to-earth nature, praising their ability to bring generations together and maintain a relatable, "human" vibe. The decision to make The Amigos Honorary Citizens was met with unanimous agreement in the city council.
The duo thrilled the audience by performing some of their hits, including "Wie die Rolling Stones" from their upcoming album "Lebe jetzt," set to be released in July. Their lively performance echoed the lyrics - "We do it like the Rolling Stones, we never stop." Despite their desire to continue entertaining their fans, Bernd Ulrich clarified that they plan to scale back their performances a bit, with around 70 to 80 dates on the calendar each year. As a grand finale, they even treated everyone to 120 liters of free beer.
