Austrofred is not just a tough guy who sings in a Viennese Krawallo band and puts on shows like Freddy Mercury. He also has super powers, which he is now revealing in a question and answer book with fans.

What kind of question is that? What is Austrofred doing in a newspaper dossier about superheroes? If it is this very good boy, as every child knows, but rather an entertainer by the grace of show god Freddy Mercury, who is the world hits of the British rock heroes Queen in the Austro-Pop context, even if he admittedly makes it heroic, such as when he writes “Eich Dodln gib i Gas” to “Another Bites The Dust” or ingeniously breads the “Prince Charming” in “Bohemian Rhapsody” . In spite of all his immodesty, “the champion”, as he is addressed by followers, would answer the majestically insulting question: “Powidl!” In the language of Upper Austrian spiritual people like his, this does not mean “plum jam”, but rather: Schmarrn. Of course Austrofred is a superhero.

Downhill squat in a rock concert? Sure, anyway. Since he received hand-carved skis from his grandfather and set off with a cat stretched in front of it, the Austrofred has been an ace on all boards that mean the world .

He has all the necessary stuff, and that doesn’t mean just the tight spandex pants that Superman uses his calves to stretch. The Austrofred can be chauffeured in an efficient vehicle, the Geilomobil, from the multi-purpose hall to the opening of the furniture store; to Batman his Robin is to him Markus Mitter, a loyal water carrier; And he also has a bourgeois identity, the native Waldneukirchner is said to occasionally shuffle around as Franz Adrian Wenzl in the recycling depots of his Tarn home in Munich and with a Viennese Krawallo band Kreisky occur to distract from his super-ego. And what would a superhero be without an archenemy? Exactly, a Wiglwagl. So Austrofred rubs himself against Gabalier Andi, of course only metaphorically: The tough champ makes Schlager-Lulu look pretty soft, for example when he reports in an anecdote that he saw him buying orange shorts in the underwear department. “This is not rock … this is not even folk rock and roll!” And if you don’t believe it, you should just compare the two in their stage performance: With the micro-stick technique, he beats Gabalier’s antler waves with links. Not to mention the “Voice”.

The Austrofred is not just a tough guy who tingles the forearms of everyone who gives him a six-pack of soy milk for Christmas. No, the real super power of the “Schnitzel Tiger” is his empathy for the simple, mostly male man, as long as this life-size cardboard Fred and towels are ordered from the Internet shop. This is how the champ, who also made it famous on ORF and who anticipated the TV trash format of the same name 12 years with his celebrity radio program “Unter-Palmen”, answered in his fifth book after bestsellers such as “Alpenkönig und Menschenfreund “(2004) questions from his fans. In “The fit years are over” (Czernin Verlag), he not only explains his leitmotif from the motivational sewing box: “Live your dream!” and why the ski fan is the best on screen and the Austrians are the best on screen (while the Bavarians with their Hackl Schorsch only excelled in children’s sports like tobogganing); he also advises colonoscopy and prostate check-ups and shows how a tough guy can survive in the hectic world and still show tears. “Man is like a shower. When you have managed to cover all the holes on the shower head, the water will splash out of some leaky point.” Who says superheroes don’t cry?
