Wallenstein was a noteworthy German progressive rock band, whose music journey blossomed in the late 1960s and 1970s. Originally founded in 1971 by the keyboard player Jürgen Dollase, the group made a name for itself in the progressive and symphonic rock scenes. Their sound was distinguished by Dollase's classically influenced compositions and the band's willingness to infuse rock with elements of symphony and theatrics. Wallenstein's lineup also included musicians such as Bill Barone on guitar, Jerry Berkers on bass, Harald Grosskopf on drums, and later, Wolfgang Riechmann.

The band's discography boasts several albums that left a mark on the krautrock landscape, with releases like "Cosmic Century" and the concept album "Blitzkrieg" showcasing their ability to blend intense rock arrangements with lush, orchestral soundscapes. After their initial disbandment in the later years of the 1970s, their music continued to resonate with fans, leading to a series of remastered releases including "Stories, Songs & Symphonies" and "Mother Universe." Wallenstein's legacy endures, capturing a unique moment in the evolution of rock that bridged the gap between classical motifs and the untamed spirit of 70s rock.
