Die goldene Sieben

Die Goldene Sieben was a German dance and entertainment orchestra founded in 1934 in Berlin by guitarist Harald Kirchstein (alias Henri René) and pianist Willi Stech. The ensemble quickly gained a reputation as a studio orchestra for the Reichssender. The group recorded numerous singles such as "Schön Sein / Träume Nur...." and "Warum Hat Der Napoleon... / Auf Den Flügeln Bunter Träume". The orchestra disbanded in 1939 following wartime restrictions; the group is remembered for its role in shaping Nazi‑era “German jazz” and for its extensive radio broadcasts.
