[1][2][3][4] Jürgen Hart was born during the Second World War at Treuen, a small industrial town in the hills south of Leipzig, which during the previous century had become a centre for weaving.
[1] Between 1963 and 1967 he studied at the prestigious the Karl Marx University (as it had been renamed in 1953) in Leipzig, emerging with a secondary school teaching qualification in German and Music.
[4] While still at university he became part of "academixer", a student cabaret group of which in September 1966 Hart was one of four founding members.
[4] The couple's marriage was followed by the births of two recorded daughters one of whom, Elisabeth Hart, later followed her parents onto the cabaret stage.
In 1995 he took the lead role (as himself) in "Augen zu und durch – die unernste Geschichte Sachsens", an alternative history of the downs and ups of Saxony, when it was staged at the Chemnitz Theatre.
Jürgen Hart was the author of more than 40 cabaret programmes, many of which became available on gramophone records (and successor media).
[11] Wolfgang Schaller, head of the Hercules Club (Herkuleskeule) (cabaret) in Dresden, paid his own tribute: If you take the output of maybe one hundred poets, most people cannot remember one line that any of them wrote.
His family implemented his wish that his grave should be positioned next to that of the Upper Saxon dialect poet Lene Voigt in Leipzig's Südfriedhof (South Cemetery).
