Prof. Wolfff was a German progressive rock band that emerged in the early 1970s and became part of the vibrant krautrock movement. Although their career was brief, they performed widely across Germany and even appeared on national television in the ARD program Talentschuppen. The group disbanded unexpectedly in March 1972, shortly after completing their debut album Prof. Wolfff, released that same year by Metronome. Together with politically engaged bands such as Ton Steine Scherben and Ihre Kinder, Prof. Wolfff was among the earliest German progressive rock acts to perform exclusively with German‑language lyrics — a choice that predated Udo Lindenberg’s first German‑language album. Their approach encouraged other musicians to explore rock music in their native language. Musically, Prof. Wolfff blended elements of pop, blues, jazz and classical music with socially conscious German lyrics, creating a sound closely aligned with the krautrock aesthetic. Their self‑titled album, produced by Jonas Porst (manager of Ihre Kinder), features five tracks: “Hetzjagd,” “Hans im Glück,” “Missverständnis,” “Das Zimmer,” and the closing piece “Weh Uns.”
