Zschorlauer Nachtigallen, a music group from Zschorlau, Erzgebirge, began their musical journey in 1921 when three young girls performed at a school event under the direction of teacher Albert Hänig. The group initially performed as the "Albert-Hänig-Gruppe" before adopting the name Zschorlauer Nachtigallen in 1932, inspired by a comparison of their singing to the sound of a nightingale. Their repertoire primarily consisted of songs by Anton Günther, featuring a distinctive four-part women's chorus. The group gained significant recognition through performances on Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk and at events like the Scheibenberger Adventsfeier in 1932. During World War II, they performed in hospitals and at the Western Front. Later on, they released their first album Vergaß Dei Haamit Net in 1989. The group disbanded in September 1993 after a long career that included numerous radio and record productions, both domestically and internationally.
