Thank you. I got confused by Bowie naming him “Michael Dinger” (a conflation of Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger), and obviously interpreted it wrongly. I did get it right in the “Heroes” article, at least…

In 2001 Bowie said “I phoned Dinger [sic] from France in the first few days of recording” Low, rather than “Heroes”. Even though he got the name wrong, and his memory wasn’t always the best, I’ll leave that in the piece. He does mention France, which is where Low was recorded.

I’ve added Rother’s quotation from the Quietus. Thanks for the link.

The member of Neu! that got approached was the guitarist Michael Rother (ex-Kraftwerk, Neu!, Harmonia) and certainly not the drummer Klaus Dinger.
The album concerned was “Heroes” and not Low.
Furthermore, Michael Rother has gone many times on record denying DB’s claims that he politely rejected the invitation to play guitar on the project, offering instead a different story of how he got a call by some (unnamed) person from DB’s inner circle informing him the his services won’t be needed, and offers his diplomatic explanation about this sudden change of affairs (https://thequietus.com/articles/03128-michael-rother-of-neu-and-kraftwerk-interview)
