Peter Henrici

Hauptmann Feuerschwanz

Peter Henrici, a bassist for the band Merlons Lichter at the time, originally had the idea to create a comedic Medieval rock band in 2000, as he felt that the genre of medieval folk rock was taking itself too seriously. He, along with Tobias Heindl, the violinist of Fiddler's Green, and Andre Linke, a fellow bassist, came together to form Feuerschwanz. The only founding member remaining, Henrici, using the alias "Hauptmann", has since recorded 13 records with Feuerschwanz betwwen 2005 and 2023.
