Formed in 1969 in Collogne, Germany.
Jürgen Fritz, a classical trained keyboardplayer, was influenced by The Nice and so Triumvirat was soon called The German ELP - especially as the first 5 albums are keyboard-albums.
Because of a lot of changes in members, and the death of one of the members the style changed to a more pop-like sound. With much less succes. In 1980 Triumvirat disbanded
