David Hasselhoff Reveals Why He's So Famous In Germany

David Hasselhoff is an international superstar, but his fanbase in Germany has a very special relationship with his music. On New Year's Eve 1989, David's song “Looking for Freedom” became an anthem for liberation when he sang it above the Berlin Wall where fans on both sides watched him. It was such a historical moment that a "David Hasselhoff Museum" was built right in Berlin.

Whenever David Hasselhoff comeback to Austria or Germany und gives a Interview or a Performance on national People goes absolutley crazy! David goes to the people, dance with the people...you can touch him! Hes a real Superstar! Back in the day.... i loved "Night Rider" and "Baywatch"!

Hasselhoff IS a legend. You younger crowd who think he's a joke cant understand that because you dont know the hardships of Polish and East Germans before 1989. Knight Rider and Baywatch was some of the few American pop culture they had. Can you blame them? Hoff appeared to them singing out of nowhere during a time they finally had access to a free world that you were already born into.

Hallo I'm german, and thiz guy is truly the biggest star in germany.
Believe me...

[messerschmitt]

We consider him GERMAN & we LOVE him!🇩🇪❤🇺🇸🍺🍺🍺

If you guys read comments from Germans saying that Hasselhoff is not famous in Germany, then it's because I suppose they are too young to know it. He definitely was famous. No doubt about that. Maybe today it looks and feels like he became a parody of himself, but this is the same as with all other things from the 80ies (and 70ies). You don't dress and style like people from the 80ies in your todays life, you do it at max for a costume party or carnival. But it was cool back then. So you will never see him today the way we did in the 80ies, but still he is an icon and we connect certain feelings and memories of the past with David.

Its one of my dream to meet David Hasselhoff, I mean I grew up with Knight Rider, may you live longest man!❤

[annwyche]

Oooh please ... I’m East German we couldn’t even watch Knight rider before the fall of the wall. His song came out at the same time that’s all. Oh and we did learn English in school, Russian was just our first second language, English our second.

[HerraTulitikku]

...and in reality, many people in Germany don't take him seriously, because he pushed his narrative to absurdity. He is like this strange uncle in the family which tells the story of his life over and over again and the story grows and grows and grows.

[YouOpaOpa]

If that doesn't become the show's theme, they are insane.

[allentrice]

Remember Knight Rider and Baywatch, Kelly?! I always have been there, should do!

[jameslaiola]

The way he said. "Its for sale. With a completely straight face 😂

[kcjazzy]

I have lived in Germany for 27 years and the whole things has been a bit of a joke here. Germans think it’s funny how Americans believe is a huge star here( he is not).

[michaelknight]

I love Kelly she seams like a down to earth person

[tutifruti]

When are you going to open up your audience to fans outside of USA? I have been trying to get tickets for 2 months last year and got rejected to realise it is because I am outside USA. Kelly has a lot..like a lot fans outside USA. I have grown up with her. I am originally from Eastern Europe...

[Hundesteak]

Perfect to see a not even German guy be basically be the most important guy in our whole country

[Becksholics_Kanal]

Tbh: it is a Running gag here. Yeah he was famouse in the past. But today it is just a gag. He is Like our uncle from the states. We celebrate him, he Likes it and After all we are glad it is over. But we Like him for this strange Entertainment here. Do we want see him back? Absolutly. Yeah we Germans Are strange…Like Hoff 😂

[carhaw]

Volkersen Germany is where David’s great great grandmother was from so he is of part German decent.

[MoPoppins]

He’s got sort of a perennial George Hamilton-esque tan, though David’s got more of a pinkish undertone, while George had more of an olive-y complexion.
