Peter Freudenthaler graduated from the Hebel Gymnasium high school in Pforzheim[1] and later in 1990 entered the Stuttgart Media University,[2] where he became acquainted with Volker Hinkel, who invited him into his music project Magazine.
In 2012, Alexander Rusakov, in his book "Who is Who, or MUZPROSVET in Global Contemporary Popular Music", put Peter Freudenthaler on No.
[6][7] Peter also had an uncle in Dresden, and as a child he periodically traveled with his family to the German Democratic Republic to visit him.
After listening to each other's recordings, both musicians decided to continue their creative path together, and after a while Hinkel invited Freudenthaler to Magazine.
The song became a major hit, topped music charts around the world, was broadcast on radio stations and sold out in large numbers.
To pass the time, I started tinkling on the piano and humming "I wonder how I wonder why..." And after 15–20 minutes the song was composed by itself.— The girl came then?— Nope...
[15] On the day of birth, the band's fans came to the musician's house and sang the song "Lemon Tree" under his window.
Although, according to his words, already from the second semester of education, his studies faded into the background, since even then he began to dedicate most of his time to playing in a group.
[14][17][18] In one of his interviews Peter told that one of the first purchases with the money received from the sales of Dish of the Day and "Lemon Tree" was a Mercedes-Benz W210 for 50,000 DM.
[19] The Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen TV channel claims that Freudenthaler receives 50,000 euros annually in royalties.
[20] Following the commercial success of "Lemon Tree" and Dish of the Day, Peter Freudenthaler embarked on a worldwide concert tour with Fool's Garden, playing over 100 shows around the world.
In an interview for the Bild newspaper, the musician admitted that he was "almost happy" that Fool's Garden did not achieve repeated success, as he had to spend a very long time on tours away from his family.
[19] In 2003, Freudenthaler recorded backing vocals for the song "74 Minutes" by the German synth-pop band Camouflage, which was released on the album Sensor.
Also in 2006, Freudenthaler recorded vocals for the song "Didgeridoo" from the album The Big Flow of German musician Helmut Hattler.
[25] In 2016, Freudenthaler participated in the international expert jury in the Lithuanian national selection for the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest.
[28][29] In 2018, the musician took part in the recording of the sixteenth studio album Zwischen den Welten of the German pop rock band Pur.
[33] Also on 5 December, the International Volunteer Day for Economic and Social Development, Peter Freudenthaler took over the leadership of a major charity event in Stuttgart.
[39] In November Freudenthaler took part in the "Udopium Orchester" concert in Lauda-Königshofen with such German performers as Johanna Stevens Schwarzwald, Anke Dinkel and Danny McCoy.
[40] In the same year, Peter performed at a concert in memory of Edo Zanki, who is called "the godfather of German soul".
[42] Also in April 2019, Peter Freudenthaler was invited in the filming of a short documentary about spinal diseases and the thematical discussion at the Congress Centrum Pforzheim in front of 400 listeners.
[43] Eight years earlier, the musician himself had suffered a herniated disc, but thanks to proper physical therapy and prolonged exercise, the problem was brought under control.
[44] On 26 April, Peter took part in the "THANKS TO DOCTORS" marathon organized by the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio with the invitation of many Russian and foreign popular performers.
[50] I have learned so much in my life, know about chemistry, history, religion, music, but still have the same questions as I had as a child, but often feel further removed from the answers than before.
[47] In an interview with Jesus.de, Freudenthaler also commented that he always thought it silly when people who do not attend church for an entire year celebrate Christmas and Easter.
