Of course, it was a great honor for Florian Drücke (47) to receive a knighthood from the French Minister of Culture. But the Chairman of the German Music Industry Association (BVMI) and Co-President of the Franco-German Cultural Council had one request. That the ceremony please be held in his home town of Heidelberg, instead of at the French Embassy on Pariser Platz in Berlin, as is usually the case. „I think that many things are much better and more stringent when told on a small scale. Anything else would have seemed a bit disconnected to me in that respect.“
