Die Ärzte is a German punk band from Berlin. Die Ärzte (The Doctors in English) are self-proclaimed as "Die beste Band der Welt" ("The best band in the world").
They were formed in 1982 by Jan Vetter (aka Farin Urlaub), Dirk Felsenheimer (aka Bela B.) and Hans Runge (aka Sahnie).
Sahnie left the band in 1986 and Hagen Liebing (aka The Incredible Hagen) filled in as bassist until the band broke up in 1988. In 1993 the band reunited with Rodrigo Gonzalez (aka Rod) now playing the bass.
Die Ärzte are an outstanding live band with amusing lyrics. Like Die Toten Hosen, they are perhaps one of the best-known German punk band.
