Abwärts
Abwärts is a West German post-punk group from Hamburg. Members FM Einheit and Mark Chung would leave the group in the early 1980s to join the West Berlin band Einstürzende Neubauten.
Their best-known recordings include the single "Computerstaat" and the LP's Amok Koma and Der Westen ist Einsam , the latter in particular being regarded as a classic of West German post-punk.
The group is profiled along with other contemporaries in Jürgen Teipel's 2001 documentary novel Verschwende Deine Jugend.
