Atze Schröder is the pseudonym for the German comedian Hubertus Albers (born 27 September 1965)[1][2][3] He is best known for playing the main character in the RTL comedy show Alles Atze (2000–2007) and for his appearances in the ProSieben stand-up comedy show Quatsch Comedy Club [de].

His comedic style has been described as "vulgar" and centers around his self-assured "Proll" (simple working class) persona living in the industrial Ruhr area of Germany.

[5] Atze Schröder has been particular of only appearing in character in public and never revealing anything from his private life.

[6] However, his real name became public record in 1998, when Hubertus Albers registered the name "Atze Schröder" at the German Patent and Trade Mark Office.

[1] Schröder in turn sued Bild for the use of his real name but lost in January 2018 which led to another mention.
