Sandow, a German rock band, was formed in 1982 in Cottbus by Kai-Uwe Kohlschmidt and Chris Hinze. They began performing at local events and gained attention through their appearance in the 1988 documentary film flüstern & SCHREIEN – Ein Rockreport. They gained wider recognition after their performance of "Born in the G.D.R." was recorded by a youth radio station, which played it on their program. It was later released on their album Stationen einer Sucht in 1990. The band's career included several albums, such as Der 13. Ton (1990), Känguru (1991), and Fatalia! (1992). Sandow disbanded in 1999 but reunited in 2005 with a new lineup. Their album Kiong – Gefährten der Liebe was released in 2007, followed by live performances and albums like Im Feuer (2012) and Entfernte Welten (2017). In 2022, Sandow celebrated their 40th anniversary with the release of "Kinder des Verbrechens" featuring a re-recorded version of "Born in the G.D.R." with Bela B. on vocals.
