==Biography==
Wilke's father was a working-class socialist, himself the son of a radical activist who perished in the Nazi concentration camps of the Second World War.〔(Alec Empire – 2008 – II ) (interview ), FaceCulture, 2008-03-05, retrieved 2008-03-21.〕〔Catherine Yates, "King of Pain" (p15-18), ''Kerrang!'', 6 April 2002.〕 His maternal grandfather, Karl Steinhof, was a self-made millionaire who patented the first domestic hand-knitting appliance during the economic boom in Germany in the 1950s.〔〔Herbert Schurich (inventor), Hand knitting appliance, US Patent 2,762,213, 11 September 1956. (Google Patents ).〕
Wilke grew up during the Cold War near the Berlin Wall, which he passed every day on his way to school. The frequent sight of patrol guards with guns influenced his outlook on life from an early age.〔(Alec Empire ) (interview ), OC-TV.net, retrieved 22 July 2007.〕 He describes Berlin at the time as: "Probably the most left radical place in Germany in the 70s, terrorists, a lot of demonstrations, and probably the first address to hear the latest American music, because of the radio shows the US soldiers brought to Berlin."〔(Interview – The definitive Alec Empire Interview ), Digital Hardcore Recordings, retrieved 30 January 2007.〕
