o'clock he described certain circles with his staff and thus conjured up

never to utter an untruth to Dr.The Devil agreed to these particulars, on the condition that Dr.Devil,
to confirm the pact with a signature written in his own blood, and
to renounce his Christian faith.Faustus
formalized it with his own blood.Faustus' life was filled with comfort and luxury, but
marked by excess and perversion.No longer
limited by earthly constraints, he traveled from the depths of hell to the
most distant stars.He amazed his students and fellow scholars with his
knowledge of heaven and earth.However, for all his fame and fortune, Dr.Finally recognizing the
folly of his ways, he grew ever more melancholy.He bequeathed his worldly
goods to his young apprentice, a student named Christoph Wagner from the

(Frankfurt am Main: Johann Spies, 1587).Faust at Boxberg Castle
Germany
When Dr.Faust was in Heilbronn, performing his troublesome arts
throughout the region, he often went to Boxberg Castle, where he was
always courteously received.Once he was there on a cold winter's day, strolling with the lords and
ladies of the palace along the garden paths on the east side of the
castle.Finally he caused grape vines to grow and bear grapes.He then invited
each of his companions to cut off a grape, but not before he gave the
signal to do so.Another time Faust left Boxberg Castle at a quarter past eleven in
order to be at a banquet in Heilbronn at the last strike of twelve
o'clock.Kunde teutscher Vorzeit, 1838.This legend was also published in Bernard Baader, Volksagen aus dem
Lande Baden und den angrenzenden Gegenden (Karlruhe: Verlag der
Herder'schen Buchhandlung, 1851), no.The story of hypnotic deception in the garden is reminiscent of an
episode at the end of the Auerbach's Cellar scene in Goethe's
Faust, part one.Return to the table of contents.Master
Germany
According to legend, there is a book, named Dr.Master,
which teaches the art of controling spirits, even of making the devil
subservient to oneself.Many
advocates of the black art have unsuccessfully attempted to find this
book.Return to the table of contents.Faust in Erfurt
Germany
At one time the renowned Dr.Faust sojourned in Erfurt.Indeed, he explained Homer to his audience, the students,
describing the heroic figures of the Iliad and the Odyssey so
realistically that the students expressed their desire to see them with
their own eyes.They wanted to
cut them from the vines, but when he caused the deceptive image to
disappear, each one had another one's nose in his fingers instead of wine
grapes.Faust used it for
his cloak rides.Faust, and it
was feared that a great many people would be led astray through his
devilish arts.Thus a learned monk by the name of Dr.Klinge was sent to convert him.But Faust did not want to be converted.Faust said, "No,
my good Dr.The devil has
honestly upheld his promises, and I will also keep my word with him.""Go to the eternal fires that
have been prepared for the devil and his angels!"Faustus was a totally
unrepentant sinner.Then Faust was banished from the city of Erfurt, and never again has a
sorcerer been accepted there.The episode with the drunken companions was incorporated into the
Auerbach's Cellar scene of Goethe's Faust, part one.Return to the table of contents.Faust and Melanchton in
Wittenberg
Germany
It is not true, as some claimed as early as the middle of the sixteenth
century, that Dr.Faust grew up in Wittenberg and earned a doctorate of
theology there, that he lived near the outer gate and had a house and
garden in a street named Schneegasse (which never existed), and that he
was strangled by the devil in the village of Kimlich, a half mile from
Wittenberg, in the presence of several scholars and students.Now one day at ten o'clock in the morning Master Philipp was leaving
his study on his way downstairs to eat when Faust, who was with him at
that time, and whom he had vigorously scolded, said to him: "Master
Philipp, you always approach me with rough words.To show his
thanks, Faust sent a devil to the man's bedroom to frighten him as he was
going to bed.The
man, however, was not afraid.You are singing like an angel who was
not allowed to remain in heaven because he wanted to be God's equal and
was thus thrust out for his pride and now wanders through people's houses
in the form of a sow!"With that the spirit, not wanting to be in a place
where he was ridiculed because of his apostasy and his wickedness,
returned to Faust and complained to him how he had been received
there.Faust, however, did lead a student astray.Lercheimer himself
knew one of his friends well into an advanced age.University of
Wittenberg, was an important associate of Martin Luther in the protestant
reformation.Doctor Faust in Anhalt
Ludwig Bechstein
One winter the renowned Doctor Faustus came to the Count of Anhalt.Seeing that the count's wife was pregnant, Doctor Faustus asked her if she
did not desire something special to eat, as is often the case with
expectant mothers.He said that with the help of his magic powers he could
get her anything she wanted.The countess graciously accepted his friendly
offer and told him that a great desire of hers would be satisfied if she
could have some fresh fruit such as grapes, cherries, and peaches, instead
of the dried confection and nuts that she currently had.Doctor Faustus took three silver platters, set them in front of the
dining room window, muttered a magic formula, then soon returned with
fresh fruit.When it came time for Doctor Faustus to take leave of Anhalt, he
requested the count and the countess to accompany him on a walk, for he
wanted to show them something new.As the party came
closer, they found that two of the towers and the outer yard were alive
with a menagerie of rare animals which were walking a jumping about
inside, without injuring one another.There were apes, monkeys, bears,
chamois, ostriches, as well as other animals.Doctor Faust's
familiar, Christoph Wagner, served as waiter, and music was sounding from
an unseen source.After spending more than an hour in this place, the party left the
beautiful palace.As they were approaching Anhalt Castle they looked back
at the new palace and saw and heard it go up in flames, with the sound of
rifles and canons.Faustus and Wagner had disappeared, and they all were
suddenly as hungry as lions.Source: Ludwig Bechstein, Deutsches Sagenbuch (Meersburg and
Leipzig: F.Return to the table of contents.Faustus Was a Good Man
England
Dr.Faustus was a good man,
He whipped his scholars now and then,
When he whipped them he made them dance,
Out of Scotland into France,
Out of France into Spain,
And then he whipped them back again!Dafydd Hiraddug and the Crow Barn
Wales
There is an incredible tradition connected with this place, Ffinant,
Trefeglwys.One Sunday morning, as the master was starting to church, he told one
of the servants to keep the crows from a field that had been sown with
wheat, in which field the old barn stood.The servant, through some means,
collected all the crows into the barn, and shut the door on them.But the master, when he heard the strange
news, turned his steps homewards, and found to his amazement that the tale
was true, and it is said that the barn was filled with crows.Barn, a name it still retains.The contract was, that the devil was to have complete possession of Dafydd
if his corpse were taken over the side of the bed, or through a door, or
if buried in a churchyard, or inside a church.Tales

" Inventors of 'Kraut Rock', iconoclasts extraordinaire, Faust are key figures in 20th Century music.Amongst those Faust have strongly influenced we must count Brian Eno, Joy Division, Cabaret Voltaire, Test Department, Neubauten, My Bloody Valentine, Julian Cope and a host of Industrial and Techno bands.MELODY MAKER

"A radical mix of Musique Concrete, Stockhausen, the Velvet Underground, and moments of almost pastoral beauty."TIME OUT
"Faust were first!"Faust as a prime ancestor of 'our' music."JOHN PEEL
The first time I heard tell of Faust was when I saw their extraordinary first LP in its equally extraordinary sleeve and felt that, regardless of the music within, I had to acquire one.When the music turned out to be highly original and very exciting that was a welcome bonus.It would be easy to say that Faust's music was Germanic and to let it go at that but I don't think that would be enough.It's really music born of a technological age in which there is neither time nor room for sentiment.Faust paint a bleak vision with music in much the way Leonard Cohen or Nico do with words.Developments are taking place which could change the face of rock music for the next decade.In Germany itself many other groups are making daring, experimental music and building up solid and serious followings.Faust have taken the search for new sounds farther than any other group.Their music is technological rock taken to extremes: "In every country musicians are beginning to synthesize new sounds.The trouble is that this hasn't been done consistently enough.As a musician one now needs enough understanding of electronics to systematically build the instrument which will produce exactly the sound one wants to hear.The ideal is for each musician to make his own instruments."Since spring 1971 Faust have been putting this theory into practice, living in almost monastic isolation in the north Gertman countryside between Hamburg and Bremen.Faust are now well into their second album, and can look back on the first objectively: "It's not a record you can listen to all day, but when you've been 1istening to other kinds of music it's really good to hear it.Perhaps it's a fault of the album that the moods shift so suddenly.But it's a perfect reflection of the situation we were in when we made it.We felt that our ideas had to be protected, that they were threatened by the system, the business, that music has to go through now.We no longer say that there are some things we would never do in any circumstances.LP alone to suggest that the direction Faust are going in is the direction which everybody else is going to follow."Krautrock legends Faust are back with an unbelievable 4 disc live set exclusive to Dirter.The set is a 3 CD and 1 DVD box with a 32 page booklet with pictures from the tour taken form Faust's personal archive and a personal "diary" of sleeves from Jean Herve Peron.Recorded last year in the UK, their performances featured many Faust enduring classics performed live for the very first time after all these years.The first two CDs in the set are a complete unedited show from the Carling Academy, Newcastle.This tour was hailed as the best so far from Faust since their reformation in 1992, and this fantastic box set really captures a legendary band at the absolute top of their game and truly on fire.""Ankst Music are proud to annnounce the upcoming release of our acclaimed concert film 'Faust: Nobody Knows if it Ever Happened' on DVD.This film features the legendary German Krautrock group FAUST performing an explosive concert in London.Andy Wilson
The first and official book about Faust!!!"In 1970 Polydor Records funded an unusual experiment.This is the story of Faust and the music they made between 1970 and 1975, music which continues to
