As a musician

He played from 1964 till 1967 in the band The Rangers (consisting of: Ludwig Ickert, Robert Wolf, Marek Lieberberg, Jürgen Kessner & Axel Schürmann). They also named themself The Trembles and The Sad Sack Set. [4] [5] On 21st October 1966, they were guests on the German television show Beat Beat Beat.[6] [7]The band is also featured in the book "Die Beat Bible". In 1967, the newspaper Bild wrote articles about them. CBS sued them on 24th February 1967 because the name of a band under CBS contract sounded very similar. They lost the case and gave the money they made by selling their music to CBS. They renamed to "New Rangers" but split up shortly after.
