Herricht & Preil

Herricht & Preil was a popular comedy duo in the GDR, consisting of Rolf Herricht (1927-1981) and Hans-Joachim Preil (1923-1999). Their shows and performances in the GDR television gained great fame; some sentences were household words. Herricht and Preil were probably the most popular comedy duo of the GDR. In a survey of the MDR in 2008, they were voted the most popular humorists.[1]

The two have met for the first time in 1951 in Bernburg; her first was jointly listed Sketch "Das Schachspiel" (The chess game) in 1953. Nearly three decades (until Herrichts dead in 1981) led Herricht and Preil together on sketches that Preil wrote.
