Michael Wendler
Michael Wendler (born 22 June 1972 in Dinslaken as Michael Skowronek, since his marriage in 2009 Michael Norberg) is a German singer of Schlager songs. In September 2008 Wendler received a Gold album for 100,000 sales of his album Best Of - Vol.1.[1]
Life
In Germany Wendler is famous as a singer of Schlager songs. Wendler in 2007 filled the Oberhausen Arena with an audience of 12,000 for the third year in succession.[2]
Controversy
In the course of several legal incidents Michael Wendler has been criticized in the German tabloid press. In 1998 Michael Wendler took out an injunction against Frank Wendler, who possessed the rights to the name Der Wendler (The Wendler) not to use that name on stage. The court decided both may use the name Der Wendler, since there is no risk of confusing both artists. In 2002 German prosecution investigated Michael Wendler for fraud. In 2012 he was sued by two women who previously had paid him 40,000 Euros for being allowed to open a Wendler themed café. The issue was around the question what the payment specifically allowed them and the women also had a problem with additional 100,000 Euros Wendler wanted after the initial deal. On September 29, 2012 he was charged to return the 40,000 Euros, which he appealed. In 2013 a TV show about the case was made in which he was persuaded to return the money. He returned the money in cash on camera.[3]
