This signed sheet music is for The Model by Kraftwerk, autographed by Ralf Hütter, Henning Schmitz, Fritz Hilpert, and Falk Grieffenhagen. Originally released in 1978 on Kraftwerk’s groundbreaking album The Man-Machine, The Model (Das Model in German) is one of the band’s most iconic and enduring songs. With its minimalist electronic beats, hypnotic synthesizer melodies, and coolly detached vocals, the track epitomized Kraftwerk’s futuristic aesthetic and influence on electronic music. Although initially released as a B-side in the late 1970s, the song found renewed success when reissued in 1981, topping the UK Singles Chart and becoming a worldwide hit. Its themes of consumerism, beauty, and objectification remain strikingly relevant, while its sound helped lay the foundation for synth-pop, new wave, and modern electronic genres. Ralf Hütter, Kraftwerk’s co-founder and longtime creative leader, was central in shaping the band’s vision of blending technology and music into a sleek, robotic soundscape. Henning Schmitz, who joined the band in the early 1980s, became a permanent member and helped carry Kraftwerk’s pioneering electronic legacy forward. Fritz Hilpert, who joined in 1987, contributed to both studio innovations and live performances, while Falk Grieffenhagen, the group’s video and live technician since 2012, continues to preserve Kraftwerk’s multimedia legacy onstage. Together, they represent Kraftwerk’s evolution from avant-garde innovators to cultural icons. Owning this signed sheet music for The Model is more than a collectible—it’s a piece of electronic music history tied to one of Kraftwerk’s most influential compositions. For fans of the band, admirers of electronic and synth-pop pioneers, and collectors of groundbreaking music memorabilia, this artifact embodies the sleek minimalism, innovation, and cultural legacy of one of Kraftwerk’s greatest works.
