Stephan Remmler (born 25 October 1946) is a German singer, composer and producer. He became famous as the lead singer of the German band
Trio, alongside
Gert Krawinkel, who played the guitar, and
Peter Behrens, who played the drums. After the deaths of the other two, Remmler is the only surviving member of Trio.
After the split of Trio in 1986, Remmler continued his musical career as solo artist, releasing various singles and albums until 1996. His work contains
Schlager and drinking songs as well. His biggest hits were ''Keine Sterne in Athen'' (1986, released in English as ''I don't go to U.S.A.'' in 1987) and ''Alles hat ein Ende (nur die Wurst hat zwei)'' in 1987. His 1990s releases did tend more to rock music. Remmler left the music business in 1996 and took a ten-year break before his comeback in 2006.
Other than singing, he also played keyboards on particular songs of both Trio and his solo project. He last contributed to the music business in 2016.
