For non-Germans:
Eberhard Panne was the sound engineer of the Panne-Paulsen Studio, where KS has recorded five of his solo albums in the seventies (from Moondawn to "X").
Some days ago Ebbi (as KS liked to call him) has told me that he had given an interview recently and it can be seen in the net. I don't know why the announcer likes to speak English; Eberhard at least, he speaks fully in German. It's worth to listen to him from minute 22 on.
Again for the non-Germans, let me translate a very short part of Eberhard's memories:

"At the university (circa 1961) we students all laughed uproariously when we were told that synthesizers can do music. This will never work!
And then, 15 years later, exactly this did happen. Klaus Schulze was (January 1976) in my studio and he did exactly what the teachers had prophesied to us. And he did it in such a genial way... He had never - never! - taken a sound from the synthesizer as it came out of the tool, he was always changing it; he was working detailed on each and every sound, which took a lot of time, but it was worth it. He did it in his special way that I have not seen or heard ever again." . . . "For me, Klaus Schulze is the genius of the three." (Eberhard mentions also H. Grosskopf & M. Göttsching).

Look for and listen to Eberhard Panne who was forty years younger when KS started to work with him, ...and KS too.
