Kati Roloff

Kati Roloff was the first female vocalist of Blutengel^[1] together with Nina Bendigkeit (who left the band circa 2000 and was replaced by Gini). She is the singer on Child of Glass's "Weg Zu Mir" as well as "Footworship" (with Nina Bendigkeit) and in Seelenschmerz she sang "Soul of Ice", "My World" (from the limited box edition) and "I'm Dying Alone" (with Gini Martin and Chris Pohl). She also sang "Fairyland (Female Version)" which is only available on the Machineries of Joy vol. 2 compilation.

It is unclear why Kati left Blutengel. Allegedly, she told a fan that she was upset with Chris Pohl, and that she did not like his selfishness and attitude of wanting to be boss and do everything on his own.^[2][3][4] Also, Chris told another fan that because he and Kati were in a relationship previously, it was difficult to continue to work in the same band together. Kati never wanted to leave Blutengel, she said it was "like seeing my first baby dying".^[5][6]

• She is the girl on the Child Of Glass and the Seelenschmerz cover art and she appears on several of the TDLL albums alongside Gini
• Roloff performed at Blutengel's first gig ever at the 2001 Wave-Gotik-Treffen.
• She performed at BE's second and third (both at Dark Storm Festival) gig, which was her last live appearance as she left the band together with Gini afterwards for personal reasons never to perform live again
• Roloff was replaced by Constance Rudert who Chris was also in a relationship with for several years and who appeared along side Kati and Gini at BE's third live performance at Dark Storm causing numerous issues backstage between Pohl and Roloff

• She stayed in Blutengel during 1998 (recording Child Of Glass) until the beginning of 2002 (almost 1 year after Seelenschmerz' release).
• She left Blutengel and formed a project with Gini called Tristesse de la Lune.
• On December 15th 2006, it was announced that Kati was no longer a member of TDLL and Gini decided to carry on with TDLL on her own.

•Currently Kati is pursuing higher education in Hamburg to become a pharmicudical technician ^[7]
