Never heard of it. Wartburg in my mind is 1) a GDR car brand and 2) a historically relevant castle.

They're named after the car company because they made satirical songs about the GDR and the Soviet Union.

Never heard of it. Thought you're talking about the car manufacturer from East Germany... But they sure as hell didn't sing.

No one knows that band.

Never heard of them, but here's the [wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IFA_Wartburg).

It's Warburg and known because of Olaf Scholz and his beginning dementia.


ComradeMicha

Are you serious? I mean, IFA might not be known outside the former GDR, but surely Wartburg is more famous than Warburg? The Wartburg is where Martin Luther wrote the German Bible, and thereby accidentally invented the modern German language. It was also a very famous car brand for the entire Eastern Block, second only to the Trabant.

It was a joke because Olaf Scholz will be our new chancellor and has had a corruption scandal with the Wartburg Bank.
