The future exploitation of the musical legacy of pop star Udo Jürgens has officially been clarified. There was an amicable settlement.
When the Austrian pop star Udo Jürgens (1934-2014) died in Switzerland on December 21, 2014, he left a great musical legacy. How to deal with this in the future, the children of the musician John (57) and Jenny Juergens (54) argued with his long-term business partner Freddy Burger (75) for years in court. Now the good news: The parties to the dispute have come to an amicable agreement.
The new regulation
As it is said, the regulation looks like this: “In the future, the legitimate children will take care of the fortunes of the recording company Udo Jürgens Master AG as sole shareholders.” This means that the publication of the entire Udo Jürgens music production catalog is in the hands of the two Jürgens children.
“Freddy Burger concentrates on the maintenance of the music publisher that belongs to him for the works of Udo Jürgens”, it continues. Burger is responsible for the musical development of these works created by Udo Jürgens, “for example through their use in film, advertising and musical productions as well as through the inspiration of musicians who are active today”.
“We keep his musical legacy”
John and Jenny Jürgens, who come from Udo Jürgens’ marriage (1964-1989) to Erika Meier, known as Panja Jürgens, show in a joint statement that they are happy about the agreement with Freddy Burger: “With his music, our father has well over out into the German-speaking area, created cultural assets and inspired generations with it. We are preserving its musical legacy, “they say. They also announce: “His fans can now look forward to the continuation of further publications of the Udo Jürgens original recordings.”
Freddy Burger is also delighted with the result: “I am delighted to be able to manage the musical works by Udo Jürgens that are part of the ARAN music publishing catalog. Udo Jürgens has been one of the most gifted musicians and entertainers in the German-speaking world for the past 60 years. I am grateful that I was allowed to accompany him on his way for so long and proud of what we have created in the almost 40 years of our collaboration. he promises.
