Yes, I do live in Germany (Göttingen). And with respect to "folk" in the sense of this forum, I was thinking of Deutschlandfunk (DLF). They play "world music" on HR2 (Hessischer Rundfunk), though not as much as they used to. I think they may play some folk in the course of that. They also have a program on every evening "Hörbar" that may also have some folk on it. I never listen to it because they always play things I hate among some things I quite like.

As far as "Volksmusik" is concerned, I'm pretty sure they have it on the radio and I'm virtually certain it's still on the TV (ZDF). However, if it ever came onto my radio, I would get out of a hot bath to turn it off.

You're right about NDR Kultur. They never play folk, except they did play Joan Baez singing "It Ain't Me, Babe" about half an hour ago.

I recall a "Lange Nacht" ("long night") on DLF about the famous concert at Burg Waldeck a couple of years ago (the program, not the concert).
