Die Zimmermänner, a German New Wave band from Hamburg, was formed in 1979 by high school students Timo Blunck and Detlef Diederichsen. Initially known as Ede & Die Zimmermänner, they later changed their name to Die Zimmermänner and performed under the pseudonym Skafighter. Their music blended ska with reggae elements and German lyrics. The band's debut single "Eva, Jürgen & Max" was released in 1980, followed by "Anja" and "Ein halbes Jahr / Kultur" in 1981. Their first album, 1001 Wege Sex Zu Machen Ohne Daran Spaß Zu Haben, came out in 1982. Die Zimmermänner disbanded in 1985, but reunited in 1999 to work on new material. Their comeback album, Fortpflanzungssupermarkt, was released in 2007. The band continued with the release of Ein Hund Namens Arbeit in 2014.
