Hannes Wader (born Hans Eckard Wader on 23 June 1942) is a German singer-songwriter ("Liedermacher"). He has been an important figure in German leftist circles since the 1970s, with his songs covering such themes as socialist, communist resistance to oppression in Europe and other places like Latin America, as well as peace (anti-war) songs. He both wrote new songs and played versions of older historical works (including Steinitz' historical song book).
