Wolfgang Flür (born 17 July 1947) is a German musician, best known as a member of the electronic band Kraftwerk from 1973 to 1987, playing electronic percussion. Flür claims that he also invented the group's electric drums used throughout the 1970s. However, patent records dispute this citing Florian Schneider and Ralf Hütter as the creators.
Flür also wrote an autobiography book called "Ich war ein Roboter" (English version: I Was a Robot) and it was published in 2000. The autobiography includes his youth, early career as a musician, and some of his activity within Kraftwerk. Hütter and Schneider filed a lawsuit against Flür, causing halt of the publication and rewriting of parts that included allegedly false information regarding his time within the band.
