Novalis
Novalis was a German rock band formed in 1971, named after the poet Novalis. The
group originated from Hamburg and initially consisted of Jürgen Wenzel, Heino

was released in 1973. The following year, guitarist Detlef Job joined while
Wenzel left, with Schünzel and Job taking over vocals. In 1975, they
transitioned to German lyrics under producer Achim Reich...
