The German music record charts were established in December 1953 with the first ever Number 1 record being Es hängt ein Pferdehalfter an der Wand performed by Die Kilima Hawaiians. The last Number 1 record which was exclusively released on vinyl was What is Love by Haddaway in 1993.
Mario Passarotto collected all of the 430 records which topped the German charts between 1953 and 1993, making him the owner of the most important and maybe most frightening record-collection in Germany, which is now being displayed at Rumpsti Pumsti (Musik) for the first time.
