Does anyone actually know his backstory? I’ve seen this many times but never really got into the details.

No. He sued the person who published this video, in order to stay anonymous.
Wheres that court case?
Here is an article about it.
After three years of wrangling, a decision was reached in court: Fritsch was forced to agree to only use the video if he manipulates the images in such a way that he can't be identified. Despite this, there's a sense that the horse has very much bolted. Fritsch might have been gagged, but there are hundreds of other artists who have made derivative works that will remain online. "It's too late. That's the whole absurdity of the trial."
In addition to censoring the video, Fritsch must pay the plaintiff €8,000 -- the vast majority of the money he made from the video. That's on top of the €7,000 in legal bills. He says that the trial will bankrupt him.
Maybe don't keep posting the video then?
It's up on YouTube, dude.
He doesn't want to be up on YouTube.
I didn't realise, that makes it all okay.
There are several interviews with him if you search for "techno viking interview."
some dude, probably in Berlin, probably on Acid. the other dude is very likely also on Acid. they are raving and the guy needs a mighty look to stay calm XD
Not usually acid for such events. Speed or xtc.
Vimeo actually has a great doco on it, from the original poster of the original video too.
Its in German with subtitles.
