“Germany’s Cheekiest Unemployed Person, Arno Dübel, Passes Away at 67”

According to a report by the Hamburg Morgenpost in Arno Dübel died in the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf.

As the Hamburger Morgenpost reported on Tuesday evening Arno Dübel dead. The Hamburger achieved dubious fame as “Germany’s cheekiest unemployed person”. After breaking off his apprenticeship in 1976, he was permanently unemployed – and made that his brand.

According to Hamburger Morgenpost, Dübel was admitted to the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) two weeks ago and died there just a few days later. He had previously been housed in a nursing home.

The deceased was the prime example of social fraud in Germany. On television, he made no secret of doing everything he could to avoid having to work. With sayings like “Whoever works is stupid” or “I don’t want to take someone’s job away”. I’ll line up at the back – but at the back,” he had provoked on talk shows since the early 2000s. Anro Dübel was 67 years old.
