Auf dieser Platte sind 13 Lieder, die auch heute noch an den Halsspeck gehen.

Three years before the student movement, the ballad singer with the piercing voice and the powerfully plucked guitar tackles the bourgeoisie and only partially hidden Nazisms with mockery, wit and surreal poetry.

Reviewer Daniel Koch described the album as a moral portrait of the Federal Republic in the mid-60s, when the economy was successful (Wirtschaftswunder) but problems such as nuclear war, class differences and Vietnam were looming.

Three years before the 1968 student movement in West Germany, Degenhardt tackled the upper class and its "only partially hidden Nazism", using wit and surreal poetry, with "the right images".

[2] The title song is regarded as Degenhardt's most successful work,[3] an expression of opposition to the "bourgeois complacency and bigotry" ("bürgerliche Selbstgefälligkeit und Borniertheit") of the 1960s.
