Christian Ludwig "Chrislo" Haas (16 November 1956 – 23 October 2004) was a German Neue Deutsche Welle musician best known as a member of Liaisons Dangereuses and a founding member of Minus Delta t, Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft and Der Plan. He was also a member of Crime & the City Solution.[1]

Haas was born in Aichach and moved to Berlin. He heavily influenced the German music scene of the 1980s through his work on the synthesizer (Korg MS-20) with bands such as Minus Delta t, D.A.F., CHBB/Liaisons Dangereuses and Crime & the City Solution. He is regarded as one of the founding fathers of techno and modern electronic dance music.[1] His former D.A.F bandmate Gabi Delgado said in 2015 that "Chrislo Haas influenced me more than Robert, in his extreme, über-punk way. Chrislo was a natural-born provocateur, which I liked."[2]

Haas' work was extensively documented in Verschwende Deine Jugend (Waste Your Youth), Jürgen Teipel's book on the Neue Deutsche Welle.[1]

Haas died in late October 2004 at the age of 47 years in Berlin from circulatory collapse due to excessive alcohol consumption.[1]
