Bureau B

Der Plan is a German music group that was founded in 1979 by Frank Fenstermacher, Moritz R, Robert Görl, and Chrislo Haas. After their first release, Görl and Haas left the group and were replaced by Kurt Dahlke. This trio remained constant until the band disbanded in 1993.
In 2004, Moritz R reformed Der Plan with new members Achim Treu and J.J. Jones. The band reunited again in January 2014 for two short sets at Andreas Dorau's 50th birthday parties in Hamburg and Berlin, featuring Frank Fenstermacher, Moritz R, and Kurt Dahlke.
In May 2017, Der Plan released a new single titled "Lass die Katze stehn" followed by the album "Unkapitulierbar" in June of the same year.
