A few weeks ago Tom and Bill Kaulitz blasphemed about Dortmund. Now they’re taking that back – the reason is curious.
Dortmund – When celebrities unexpectedly talk about places that you know well from your own life, things can quickly get exciting. This is also the case with Bill and Tom Kaulitz (both 32) from Tokio Hotel, who caused a sensation in the past few weeks with their statements about Dortmund. But now they are rowing back, as RUHR24 reports.

Tokio Hotel appear in Dortmund: Tom and Bill Kaulitz blaspheme
But let’s start at the beginning: As part of the “Red Bull Soundclash” event, her band Tokio Hotel was invited to play the song “Durch den Monsun” in the Dortmund. When traveling to and from the Ruhr area, Bill and Tom Kaulitz were able to catch a few glimpses of the city – and promptly blasphemed in their podcast “Kaulitz Hills – Senf aus Hollywood”.
“I think you can also openly admit that Dortmund is not the prettiest city. So let’s look at it from a purely architectural point of view,” the two stated. Tom Kaulitz even went one step further.
“You know Bill, now you have to introduce yourself. Now you are a professional player from another country and then you are bought for the soccer club in Dortmund and then you come here, look out the window and think: Wow. This is where I live now,” says the Tokio Hotel guitarist. But is Dortmund really so ugly that nobody wants to move to the Ruhr area city? The Ruhr Nachrichten got to the bottom of this question.

And the research did not go past the Kaulitz brothers. In the podcast, the Tokio Hotel twins tease the press every week and discuss which articles about them were completely overblown. Mostly it’s about Tom’s wife Heidi Klum (49).
This time, however, Bill Kaulitz has become aware of the Ruhr News – but the article seems to be rather uncomfortable for him. “You still can’t let go of your stupid gossip about the city,” he explains to his brother.
But Tom Kaulitz also seems to have a guilty conscience: “I don’t want to have such a bad image in Dortmund.” Because outside of Dortmund, Tokio Hotel found it very nice, as they also explained in the podcast. Tom and Bill Kaulitz once raved about Witten.

Tokio Hotel apparently want to reconcile with Dortmund. Because Bill fears the worst: “I don’t think we need to perform in Dortmund anymore.” But he also makes it clear that the band likes to come back for concerts and that the city isn’t too ugly to stop by.
For the brothers, the most important thing about the city is the fun people and the good parties, which they expect to be in Dortmund. And with them, a concert by Tokio Hotel could be really fun.
