Schleimkeim ("Slimey Germs") from Erfurt are probably the best known East German punkband, they were among the first in East Germany (German Democratic Republic, or GDR), and were the first one to release a record (at least in West Germany).
The band was founded by brothers Klaus and Dieter "Otze" Ehrlich and mutual friend Andreas "Dippel" Deubach in 1980; they (like most early GDR punkbands) formed after listening to a West German radio station playing the Sex Pistols, Clash, Ramones and the likes for the first time.
