I've now startet a petition
"On the death of one of the greatest musical geniuses of German post-war history, the city of Düsseldorf should give one of the highways in the region the additional name "Florian Schneider Autobahn".
Florian Schneider was a son of Düsseldorf and together with Ralf Hütter he made the name Düsseldorf known in the whole world with his band Kraftwerk. Now after his death it is time for the city to thank him for this. What could be more fitting than to give his name to one of the Highways around Düsseldorf? (as a name suffix)

Maybe some of you have a better online Community than I have and could share it so some people will sign the petition.

@lukehh For a quorum do they need 50k signatures from Germany or total including other parts of the world?

 

I hope it's anywhere or my vote is useless... I figure it must count or why would it even accept a vote from outside Germany?

 

All votes count...not only from germany!

And by the way...such a petition is just a kind of request to do something. If it gets enough attention the city Düssseldorf will recognize it and maybe will do it on their own!

Dont forget to share it!

 

Does anybody here have an idea how to make this petition more popular? I'm not so firm in social media!

 

Just finished signing Thanks

 

I think, this is not acceptable!

 

I got it out there on FB a little.

 

This is more like it. Been a while since I've seen a post on here that wasn't someone asking how to install omnisphere or a poor attempt at comedy

 

Yeah, audiosex vs. Facebook...We are slowly catching up.


So, keep it up!

 

A record company should release a tribute album to Kraftwerk, but is there any chance that the remaining members could re-unite for more work? Did you know that the airport in Liverpool, England is named Liverpool John Lennon Airport ?

 

Yes, for Airports its no problem to name it related to a person. But an AUTOBAHN will be difficult..but there are alternatives.

 

Maybe https://www.musiker-board.de/ (just take a look at the number of members).

 

I already thought about it. But not found a category in the forum to post it!
I already posted it at:
- www.sequenzer.de
- wrote mails to Robert Görl (DAF) to support.
- entered about 10 fan groups at FB (Kraftwerk related but also some groups like for electronic music in general or Krautrock etc)
posted
- and posted comments at the articles of Florians death of nearly every great newspaper at FB
- also commented at Mute Records

At FB I received more than 1000 likes for my postings and comments...but these idiots forget to sign...and I mentioned in every comment they should sign and not just like it!

 

Maybe here https://www.musiker-board.de/forum/r-i-p-kondolenzthreads.769/ ?

 

I guess here at Audiosex are a lot more users who like Kraftwerk....So sign the petition! I need about 1800 subscribers to reach the quorum!

Here is the new statistic. Audiosex 8%. This can be optimized!

 

Gah. SURELY more people would support this.

 

Now its official...Also Florian's sister Claudia Schneider-Esleben supports my petition. But nevertheless we need more people to sign the petition. So Audiosex folks its only 1 minute work. If you love Kraftwerk or just see the importance and influence of them and in particular Florian Schneider, sign it.

 

C'Mon people, we are more than 42.000 member here...maybe 4.000 active members...if even 10% are in electronic music and 10% of these like Kraftwerk, there are still 40 members who should subscribe the petition. I know its annoying to sign because you have to fill the form. But you dont need to give your real data.

So, sign it!
