One of my all-time favorites is "Dreiklangsdimensionen" by Rheingold.

This is the original single version:

Followd by a 90's remix (my favorite one):

And once more remixed for the 00's:

By the way, Hubert KaH hit the US Billboard Dance Charts a few times in the late 80s with some English songs. I am looking forward to his new album which is due this year. At least I hope so.

Yeah Rheingold are great, you can definitely hear the krautrock influences there such as Michael Rother, Kraftwerk etc.

I find NDW was always a bit more cheesy than british New Wave, but at the same time more humorous and quirky.
Such as this:

Yes, but you also have to distinguish between the rather original NDW (DAF, Ideal...) that was rather a wave of its own and the commercial (and cheesy) wave that followed.

I also love Munchener Freiheit - Ohne Dich, not NW, but a great tune! [:D]
They also released some English songs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWkqB4gOzNA

Münchener Freiheit are great. They also made quite a change from slightly independent to a mixture of schlager and rock/pop. I have all of their CDs but I prefer their releases of the second half of the 80s. Stefan Zauner has a great voice: I was on a concert some years ago and his "live" voice sounds as good as his voice on CDs.

these for me break the language barrier too

Grauzone - Eisbaer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTuTc_liKS4

here is another good tune from German singer/songwriter, more of a lite AOR track, but there's a certain angsty New Wave feel to it imho... Peter of course worked with Michael Cretu on Enigma project later on...
