History

Around 90 episodes were aired, plus 59 as Musikladen extra with most being made in the period between 1974 and 1979. All episodes were produced by Radio Bremen and directed by Michael Leckebusch.

A normal episode of Musikladen usually featured several live performances by guest musicians, and ran around 45 minutes. Some episodes were longer, and a few were shorter. In the 1980s, music videos were shown along with live performances. The show's famous theme was "A Touch Of Velvet - A Sting Of Brass" by Mood Mosaic.

Manfred Sexauer hosted the show with various others. From December 12, 1972 to September 21, 1978, Uschi Nerke, the veteran from Beat-Club, moderated the show with Sexauer. After she left, Sexauer was the lone host till August 20, 1979, when Auwa (August-Walter Thiemann) joined. He left on January 15, 1981, and Sexauer handled the hosting duties alone till June 21, 1984 when he was joined by Christine Röthig. They both moderated the show until its end on November 29, 1984.

Clips from the program can now be seen on VH1 Classic and several DVD compilations have been released. All the episodes air frequently in an edited form, mostly after midnight, from various German TV Stations, like NDR, RBB and BFS (BR3). 3Sat also airs Musikladen occasionally.
