The life of Christoph Schneider

My Younger Years

I grew up in West Berlin with my mum and dad and soon enough my younger sister. I was always a skinny boy but fit to run the 1000m at school which I never came 1st in. My family and and friends were spilt from me by the Berlin Wall so my friends were Paul and Christian but we called him Flake because he's so tall and thin! I'd never played the drums before I was a Rammstein member but I played the trumpet.. I was forced by my parents. They said I was very good at it but I'd bet to differ, it was so boring. That's one reason I was picked on and bullied at school. In my teens I had a massive afro!! Literally! Secondary school was hard for me, growing up quite poor, being thin, unpopular and wearing overalls is always something bullies want to pick on about you. There was a boy called Viktor who was always teasing with me. He even wanted me to fight him! I'd never have the strength to so I chickened out- such a bad idea. I was then bullied for the rest of my years at secondary school with only two friends. But those two friends were the best of friends anyone could wish for, they were Paul and Flake. I suppose we were a bit like the three musketeers of West Berlin.
