A lyricist who turned simple words into unforgettable melodies.
Bernd Meinunger has been one of the most influential and prolific lyricists in German music history. Over the course of decades, his words gave voice to emotions, dreams, and moments that resonated with millions.
From Eurovision classics like Ein bisschen Frieden to countless chart successes, his lyrics were never just lines in a song — they told stories, captured the spirit of the time, and connected people across generations. Bernd Meinunger had an exceptional talent for crafting language that was both simple and profound, direct and poetic.
His contribution to popular music and his close collaboration with composers like Ralph Siegel have left an indelible mark on German songwriting. We feel honored to have been part of his professional journey and to help carry his work into the future.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, and all those who found comfort, joy, or inspiration in his words.
