Staubkind is a German pop rock band from Berlin, founded in 2004 by Sven Louis Manke (guitarist of the industrial rock act Terminal Choice). Initially, Staubkind were a dark rock act with a similar sound to other German acts like Zeraphine and maybe Dreadful Shadows. Since the release of their third album Staubkind in 2012, their sound has become more Unheilig-oriented, incorporating pop rock, indie and modern schlager music to their sound. All of their lyrics are written in German.

Louis Manke, a singer and guitar player from Dresden, founded the project Staubkind in 2004. In the same year, the first single Keine Sonne and the debut album Traumfänger were published on the Berlin independent label Fear Section of the singer and musician Chris Pohl. On January 31, 2004 Staubkind played their first official concert. On April 3, 2004 the band played the first big show supporting Unheilig at Sommercasino in Basel. The first big show on a festival took place at the 13th Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig. In autumn 2004 Staubkind continued playing live on their first own headlining tour through Germany, reaching up to 2005. On January 31, 2005 the debut album Traumfänger was re-released with some remixes and the bonus track Viel Mehr. For the new song Viel Mehr Staubkind shot their first video. On October 1, 2005 an EP including three new songs and two live tracks was published – with the title Ausgebrannt. During the years of 2005 and 2006 Staubkind toured all over Germany and played shows at Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig and M’era Luna Festival in Hildesheim, for example. The second album Zu Weit was published in October 2007. A tour through Germany during the years 2007 until 2009 followed, including gigs at Wave Gotik Treffen. In 2008/2009 Staubkind were invited to join the Unheilig & Friends-shows by Unheilig. In the following years there were more concerts and shows Staubkind played.
