As I´m living in Bochum, I had to do this in the end:

One of the most successful and most popular german artists over the last 25 years is from Bochum:
singer and actor Herbert Grönemeyer.
One of his first big hits was 'Bochum' way back in the eighties.
Today it´s more or less the official hymn of the city,
and of course it´s the opening song of the local football team VFL Bochum, whenever they play at home.

The video is from a live concert within the Schalke Arena in Gelsenkirchen.
Gelsenkirchen is a neighbourtown of Bochum, and the town were I was born and grew up,
and it´s the stadion of my club, Schalke 04.
So I think, everything fits, the only problem is, I was never a Herbert Grönemeyer fan (LOL).

BOCHUM
(HERBERT GRÖNEMEYER)



If you like to listen to the original studio version of the song
together with a lot of pics from Bochum, you can watch another video here:

Don't know the song and don't understand it since I don't speak German but it seems to fit very well with the image!!!!!

I guess you don't have to be a fan to be inspired by the familiar.

A great collage and obviously a fitting anthem for the local team.
Máire Uí Mhaicín29-Nov-2008 11:19
I love this composite image with its blue hues and sense of movement and anticipation. The song you have chosen is fitting and clearly means a lot to the crowd of fans.

Beautiful collage. I never heard of Bochum. But there is a lot of people there, so he must be a good performer.
