Catharina Hagen (born on March 11, 1955) is a singer from East Berlin, Germany.

She’s a daughter of well-known East German actress Eva-Maria Hagen and writer Hans Oliva-Hagen. They divorced 5 years later due to the rising success of Eva-Maria (called “East Germany’s Brigitte Bardot”) as an actress on stage and in films. When Catharina (Nina) was 10 years old Eva-Maria had a partnership with dissident song-writer Wolf Biermann (see links at the end).

Nina left school in the 10th grade and joined a cover band. Eventually she joined the band Automobil (picture), which released a well-received album in Germany, including her first hit “Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen”.

After a concert for a West German labour union in 1976 Biermann was forbidden to return to the GDR. Because of their protests against it Eva-Maria and Nina were thrown out of GDR in 1977, and followed Wolf Biermann to Hamburg.

Nina subsequently met West-Berlin photographer Jim Rakete (who also produced some bands he shot the cover-photos for), and he brought Nina together with the politically left-wing band “Lokomotive Kreuzberg” (later known as “Spliff”): thus the “Nina Hagen Band” was born.

In 1978 The Nina Hagen Band released their self-titled debut album, which included titles like “TV-Glotzer” (a cover of “White Punks on Dope” by The Tubes) and “Auf’m Bahnhof Zoo”.

"Und ich such' mir meinen Sender raus und spiel' mit 100 Phon..." ;-) Es gibt eine neue Last.fm-Gruppe über die Berliner Band Spliff. Ihr Keyboarder Reinhold Heil ist Teil des Pale 3-Projektes mit Johnny Klimek und Tom Tykwer, die Soundtracks wie "Lola rennt", "Der Krieger und die Kaiserin", "One Hour Photo" oder "Das Parfum" komponiert haben. Und Schlagzeuger Herwig Mitteregger hat in letzter Zeit zwei neue Alben herausgebracht. ZZee ya, Hans-Jürgen

those bands are merely AMONGST those i listen to, but i did not expect a narrow minded idiot such as yourself to notice. i listen to black, asian, and left-wing artists as well. just because my musical taste has less restriction than yours does not justify your pathetic attack. however i do know politically correct morons mostly lack the balls to confront people they politically dislike on the street, so i dont mind your little antifascist online crusade... if your ego needs its... as for myself, this page is about music, and so was my comment. some people just need this boost of self-confidence, saying "yea dude i totally told this neo nazi on the internet what i thought man".

@Rajchskancler: You're listening to "RAC"-bands and other neonazist shit, that's enough evidence to know that you're an asshole.

yea right, because every true follower of hitlers racialist doctrine has a picture with him having a teddy bear on his arm as avatar... youre not only politically correct... but also stupid. applies to most listeners of the music above, btw. cheers.
