Rammstein- Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen (Official Video)
You must watch sonne
Rammstein - Mann gegen Mann (Live in Paris)
that is pure German history Summarized to about 10 minutes, without trivializing or glorifying, it's art, it's phenomenal, it's epic !! 👍👍
I'd like to differ slightly - this video is not about german history. It uses pieces of german history to make a point about patriotism and nationalism in germany, with the band taking a clear position ("will Dich hassen", "meine Liebe kann ich Dir nicht geben", ...). I think that's why the video has made such a buzz (beyond the fact that it is just really well done) - it's not intended to teach, but to take an identitarian stance (and provoke others to take theirs in reaction).
On one hand this picks up where "Links 2 3 4" left off, making it clear that the band does not embrace right wing politics; on the other I think it is a statement about the current resurgence of political right wing extremism in germany (mind you, when they wrote this song, the AFD became the first nationalist party to join the Bundestag (I think) since WW2).
🇩🇪GERMANY AND RAMMSTEIN🌎 FOREVER👍👍🎸🥁🎶🎷🎺🎶🇩🇪🤝🇷🇺💪💪
@@LordOfStygia I'd like to add that I think you both right in a way. :)
"Thank God for Rammstein" Truer words have never been spoken!!!!
Seeing the symbol of the communist GDR, saying:"Thei've got Nazis in it?" 😁 Nah, that comes a bit later.
Rammstein themselves grew up in the communist GDR by the way.
"How is this even allowed?"
Art and context. This song and video is actually anti-patriotic, blaming a lot of germanys history. It's a love and hate relationship. That's what he sings about. Literally that he can't give his love to germany. But yeah, I feel Rammstein often stretch to the max, what's allowed to show. By the way, it's not that they only killed jews in concentration camps. They also killed all kinds of german people, like political enemies, leftists and communists, homosexuals...
That's what you see in that video. Those prisoners all got different symbols on their clothing. Only a star means someone is a jew. The overall video is a journey through different stages of the german history. From ancient times, to medieval times. From the 1920's to the nazi era (1940's), to cold war times and communism. The part where Till is dressed up as a woman and involved in a shootout, relates to leftwing terrorism by the german RAF (Red Army Fraction) from 1970 to 1998. And they even show some kind of future. Thinking of those astronauts. A lot of other stuff here is just symbolism. They took a black woman to play "germania", who is a mythical queen-like character representing germany. Just like uncle sam. The reason why they choose her might be to show that we're a multi-ethnical country today, and because the color black is part of the german flag, along with red and gold. Even the dogs/puppies she breeds, have a cultural meaning, others might explain better than me. Be sure that nothing in this video is random, there is a meaning behind everything. I think there's a video with a german history professor, trying to analyze it.
Was that knucle fight at the start like something ww1 stuff? France and Germany fighting? 🤷🏼♂️
@@MakeNahka Nahh, I think that's the 1920's, between WWI and WWII and shows conflicts in the german society during the Weimar Republic regime.
Great explanation my friend love your summary
@@wolfgangengel4835 I think it was pre WWI. I read something like it was the "Golden Days". Between WWI and WWII I know for sure @06:05 The part where the money is falling down on the prison floor which represents the hyper inflation, it also looking like they are using Prussian uniforms
In the first Nazi scene, Germania is blind on the "Right" eye. And then she only can see with the "Right" eye...
This video is a masterpiece, and should be shown in school history lessons. It goes through the whole German history with all the critical episodes, starting with Roman encounters (The word German was used by Romans for 'all the others' that lived in those Forrests), through the Middle Ages, the Nazi times, but also modern East and West episodes. They sing "Deutschland Ueber allem, meine Liebe kann ich Dir nicht geben extra
It definitely has the best production of any music video one ever seen.
Translated Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
You (You have, you have, you have, you have)
Have cried a lot (Cried, cried, cried, cried)
Separated in spirit (Separated, separated, separated, separated)
United in heart (United, united, united, united)
We (We are, we are, we are, we are)
Have been together for so long (You are, you are, you are, you are)
Your breath's cold (So cold, so cold, so cold, so cold)
The heart in flames (So hot, so hot, so hot, so hot)
You (You can, you can, you can, you can)
I (I know, I know, I know, I know)
We (We are, we are, we are, we are)
You (You stay, you stay, you stay, you stay)
[Chorus]
Germany - my heart in flames
Want to love and damn you
Germany - your breath's cold
So young, and yet so old
Germany!
[Verse 2]
I (You have, you have, you have, you have)
I never want to leave you (You cry, you cry, you cry, you cry)
One can love you (You love, you love, you love, you love)
And want to hate you (You hate, you hate, you hate, you hate)
Presumptuous, superior
Take over, hand over/puke
Surprise, invade
Germany, Germany above everything
[Chorus]
Germany - my heart in flames
Want to love and damn you
Germany - your breath is cold
So young, and yet so old
Germany - your love
Is a curse and a blessing
Germany - my love
I can't give you
Germany!
Germany!
[Bridge]
You
I
We
All of you
You (superior/overpowering, unnecessary)
I (Übermenschen weary)
We (The higher you climb, the further you fall)
You (Germany, Germany above everything)
[Chorus]
Germany - your heart in flames
Want to love and damn you
Germany - my breath's cold
So young, and yet so old
Germany - your love
Is a curse and blessing
Germany - my love
I can't give you
Germany!
Not everything, everyone..
By saying everything you're taking the old national hymn which is the Nazi version..
Rammstein always great! Thanks for the reaction!. I didn't know about their new song! TOP
@Mr. Germania Omg you're right! Lighting emoji looks like... Going to modify. Thanks!
The music is very wonderful. The sound of the piano at the end .I can't stop smilling as usual.
The Piano sequence at the end ist the Piano Version from "Sonne"
@@user-fu3hi3lj3w I was sad when I learned that it wasn´t Flake who recorded the piano versions. 😅
This is German history in music video. Just because it is not "nice" does not mean it should be censored and hidden. There should be more videos like this. Censorship in general killes art.
Hi, I'm from Germany.
Rammstein is playing a classic "Industrial Metal" style. A 50-50 mix of synthesizers and hard metal guitars.
A big part of the German history in one video. The black woman as Germania. Germania is the personification of the German nation. It isn't and wasn't a goddess or Joan of Arc.
The glass coffin: It is Little Snow White from the Grimm-fairytales....and from their own video "Sonne". Only with black skin and in space.
The piano song at the end is the song "Sonne", too.
The line in this song "So jung und doch so alt" (So young and yet so old) means:
Germany as a unified state is very young. A unified German nation is only existing from 1871 onwards. Before that year of unification Germany was made of countless, little mini-states and the people identified first and foremost as Prussians, Hessians, Saxons etc, etc, etc. and only in a second line of thought they had a lose sense of being somehow Germans, too, as a kind of unifying second identity.
So the area & the landscape where the Germans are living and the Germans themselves as a people...are thousands of years old. But only recently, in 1871, there was a unified Germany as one single state.
So Germany as a unified state is very young...and at the same time it is thousands of years old.
The battle of the Teutoburg forest against the Romans (and Rammstein as Roman soldiers and Germans alike).
That battle is of ABSOLUTE importance for the German history.
The hanged bodies in the trees were the beaten Roman soldiers, who were gruesome sacrificed to the Germanic gods...and were partly nailed to the trees.
The Varus-(Teutoburg)-Battle was already in 9 AD. In 16 AD were the vengeance campaigns of Emperor Germanicus. Therefore we see here the arrival of the Roman troops of Germanicus and they are watching their dead comrades hanging in the trees or getting their heads chopped off (for nailing them to the trees).
In reality the Romans under Germanicus found only the bones of the Varus army in the various ways they were slaughtered, sacrificed and displayed at the trees. Slaves were liberated even decades after the battle.
After the scenes with the Romans we saw the Hindenburg Zeppelin disaster (the burning Zeppelin in the background).
The moustaches and clothing from the fight scene are from WWI and post WWI years. From the working class people in WWI and the roaring 20's. In the WWII years later on this kind of big bushy moustache was already out of fashion.
The falling banknotes in the prison are not about corruption. That scene is about the hyper-inflation of the 1920's, that took away the savings of the Germans and left them in deep poverty and desperation.
One had to pay a loaf of bread with a handcart full of nearly worthless banknotes back then and it hit the German people deep down inside and in their souls. Especially the poor ones and the simple workers.
The V2 rocket (first manmade object in space) as technical triumph of the German spirit...and at the same time the killing of the concentration camp prisoners in the bunker factories below the mountains during the production of that rocket.
This scene in the video could be a representation of a very specific concentration camp. It was "Mittelbau-Dora" below the Kohnstein mountain.
A mixture between a big, huge bunker factory for V1 and V2 rockets and a concentration camp.
The concentration camp inmates had several different markings for different kinds of convicts and their "crimes" sown to their chests, like it was in reality, too. A pink triangle for homosexuals, the star of David for Jews and two of them were marked with the double-triangles for Jehovas Whitnesses.
The book burnings of the Nazis and the burning of the witches of the church. In the same scene with the book burning there is EVEN MORE going on. The cooperation of the church with the Nazis, when the priest with the cross embraces the Nazi SA-man.
The scene with the sign with the Hammer and a pair of compasses in a circle of wheat is the sign of the GDR (DDR). The socialst German state in the east that existed before the German reunification.
Therefore it was Karl Marx in the background in the scene with the tank (not the scene at the concentration camp).
The scene with Rammstein wielding guns (the pumpgun) and taking Germania hostage was about leftwing terrorism of the 1970's. The terrorists were called the RAF (Rote Armee Fraktion).
My interpretation of the red scanner-like beams: There are two different kinds of beams. The massive straight red light beam that goes up into the heavens AND there were those smaller, thinner "scanner" beams.
Aliens (or humans from the future) are scanning the whole German history. Like some real scientists are scanning and excarvating ancient Mexican or Egyptian statues, for example.
The massive red light beam is the red ribbon of time that ties together all the historical events.
PS: As for the dogs: Germans are fanatical dog lovers. We are a dog-owner nation. The dog is a firm part of Germany.
PPS: They didn't eat the body of the woman and her inner organs, even if it really looked that way. They were eating the national dish of Germany, that was put on the body of the black woman: Sauerkraut, Kassler & sausages.
In my opinion it symbolizes the church eating itself fat on the goods and values and food of Germany during the simple people (farmers, simple workers etc) lived a long time in a kind of hell of poverty and serfdom (the red fetish area below the table with Germania on it).
But that eating scene could indeed have a double meaning. It could represent the 30 years war, that was fought for religious reasons and depopulated large areas of Germany. It forced the people to commit canibalism because nobody was there anymore to produce food. Except the fat, wealthy people of the church, of course. They were still able to eat enough. Only the simple people at the bottom (farmers etc) died from hunger and had to fight and die in that war.
The 30 years war was the biggest catastrophe in Germany until WWI happened.
PPPS: The short scene with the dogs and their gas masks = WWI, where in reality animals (messenger dogs & horses) AND soldiers were wearing gas masks, too.
PPPPS: The puppies at the end are Leonberger dogs. The Leonbergers nearly went extinct during WWI and WWII.
PPPPPS: The black woman in the prison was dressed in a Prussian uniform with a Prussian helmet.
Till sings the famous, often misinterpreted, line of the "Deutschlandlied" (Song of the Germans), that is not forbidden in Germany but simply isn't sung anymore in our modern national anthem.
Till sings in his version the line "Deutschland über allen" (Germany above everybody) What is a BIG change to the real line in the orginal Deutschlandlied-song. In the original Deutschlandlied song it is written as "Deutschland über alles" (Germany above everything).
The real, whole line of that old Deutschlandlied goes "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles. Über alles in der Welt" (Germany, Germany above everything. Above everything in the world).
This line is often misinterpreted by many people as chauvinism and as a looking down upon all other countries on this planet. But that is wrong and not many people know about that in Germany and elsewhere.
The writer of that famous line didn't meant it in a chauvinistic way.
When that song was written, Germany was divided into umphteeth mini-states, what made Germany relative powerless and defenseless. Therefore the task of German unification was the goal above any other goal for all Germans (at least the writer of the song meant it that way).
So the main goal for all Germans had to be the united Germany. The goal of "(united) Germany above everything else".
That was, how that line was meant by the writer of the song.
The line isn't forbidden, like many people wrongly think. It's simply not sung anymore and not part of the official anthem of modern Germany anymore.
This has NOT its reason in the seemingly chauvinist meaning of "Deutschland über alles", like many people wrongly think. This whole stanza of the Deutschlandlied isn't sung anymore, because in other parts of the stanza are borders and landscapes mentioned, that aren't German borders and landscapes anymore.
We want to live in peace with the people and countries, who are now living in those former German lands and therefore we don't sing about those old borders and landscapes anymore.
It has nothing to do with the "Deutschland über alles" line in that stanza, like many people wrongly are thinking.
Finally:
The scenes I'm now talking about are pretty dark and low light. The WWII submarine in the submarine bunker during the astronauts are walking by with the glass coffin.
I think, the choice of the black woman as main actress was made, because:
a) it makes any accusations of racism and fascism against Rammstein useless
b) she represents one colour of the German flag and she is wearing the rest of the colours of our German flag as makeup and jewellery and clothes on her body: Black, Red and Gold
c) it provokes many people EVEN MORE 😄

Thank you for watching the credits. That video definitely deserves for people to watch the credits. Most reviewers skip the opening and go straight to the music, then stop when the credits start (even when using the official video instead of the edited one). Boo to them. Yay to you!
This is a great piece of art.
But you need to be german to fully understand whats going on here.
You're right, this is deep...
maybe you're right but as italian for me this is a fantastic song combined with a fantastic video and it is quite enough
@@andreascala2663 Si para ti sera barbari tedeschi al loro meglio.
@@theraven5935 your english is much better then your italian (please don't be disappointed) so please repeat what you meant in english couse didn't understand what you wrote
yes and no .... you just need to know some history (and grow up in a country with shittier but similar history .... minus the achievements of german nation)
Speaking about Nazis....the lightnings in your logo at the back look very similar to the SS logo.
Yeah, I noticed as well: 'are those nazies?!? you cant show nazies!' (has literally the SS logo in his name)
Yep. First thing I noticed tbh...
Every nazi logo was copied from christian signs) Btw, there are also two lightnings on the logo of the rock group kiss)
i got introduced to rammstein music by my history / german teacher when i moved to germany at 16yo.
yr reaction took me back in time ❤️ ty!
They are great, this song is a kick on the balls of Germany. Rammstein, so objective, so polite. They don't forget and don't forgive what happened. Great!!! Thanks for the reaction man.
best reaction EVER...well done mate!
Finally NJ ... now they blown your mind completely - right!!! Greets Cheers
You are absolutely right - this IS the best produced music video ever! In my opinion.
as a german i can fell this video. its about our history. and you know, its a dark history (in parts).
Don't forget, the winners are writing the history books.
It was this video that rekindled my love for them. Had to go back and see/hear everything I had missed the past decade or so
I gave a like much before this comment -but if I could I would have given another one due to the fact that many others close the video down during the credits.
Fantastic reaction bro. Thank you so much. You felt this song.
4.07 Laughing in disbelieve.. The scene is DDR.. History my man, read up on history !! OMG
Love ur reaction man
The studio version to "Mein Teil" is one of their best videos too. I think you already saw the live performance, but the video is on another level of creativity and art.
Although this video is awesome I prefer the one for Mein Herz Brennt although it could be because it is one of my favourite Rammstein songs. Also, the official video for the piano version. Simple but powerful if you know the story.
The scene with dogs is actually really intimidating
absolutely amazing 💕 Rammstein Best Band ever bro, thanks so much
Looks at Communists from the GDR era: "What - They got Nazis in it?" Priceless mixup.
Great reaction..i have so much fun with you..🙂😘..greetings from germany🇩🇪
Got tickets for next summer, can't wait!!!
thanks for this reaction
I love Rammstein this song and video is just incredible
So just for some context the lyrics are about mixed feelings about Germany and the video shows the cycle of violence and poor leadership throughout German history - skewering leaders and political movements of all types left & right, religious and secular. The woman represents Germania the German spirit hence the black, red and gold colour scheme used for her. It's likely that "dogs" represent the common German people as the band is shown in dog positions several times and Germania gives birth to dogs late in the video - people like dogs because they are loyal but they are also kind of stupid often blindly following masters who dont deserve that loyalty. They flash through a lot of points in German history in the clip usually showing them in a negative light. The outro is a piano version of "Sonne" which has some thematic links to this clip - In "Sonne" they cast a Russian actress as an abusive Snow White in a abusive self destructive relationship with the "little people" (played by the band) - given Russia's relationship tot he former East Germany where many of the band grew up the under lying metaphor fits the same themes as the Deutschland clip.
Hey NJ... maybe the best video you have ever seen - I think you are right! There is another vision with english subtitles... as an add on these lyrics are pure poetry! Let me tell you as a German native that i know the scenes and lyrics as a superb experience in German history and that it smashes me down every time i see and hear it. As an anwer to your question if there is any other video like this... i only can tell you that the official video of RAMMSTEIN "Mein Herz brennt" comes near to this one - so try it! Best wishes, Harald from Essen in Germany. Go on!
cooler typ.hello from germany
В одном клипе собрали все главные песни, и смысл мощный этого произведения
"Germania", the symbol of the nation is a black woman. That's Rammstein: a pure provocation against fascism and racism. I love them!
Rammstein ❤️
There's a (little bit) shortened version with English subtitles. You won't miss a thing but understand the text. As a German im glad to know what they're singing. Perhaps you do, too...
Great reaction! Loved your reaction to The Warning! Yeah, great video… the freedom war vs the roman empire, middle ages, knights, monks, Zeppelin catastrophe at Lakehurst, the 1920s, Nazi regime, Socialist East Germany, the 70s terrorism… a lesson in german history over 2000 years… 👍🤘
4:09 thats not the Nazis, they are ment to represent the DDR (GDR) Gouvernment during the times of the cold war
NJ, best wishes from NYC. Like your atyle just subscribed . Anything video from there live shows Paris or Madison Garden. Thanks Barron Tudor and yes he was my 20th cousin ago
In the 9th year after Christ was born, 3 legions of the Roman Empire crossed the river rine. That is where the song "Deutschland". starts. The 3 legions went deep into now called Germany. And a few miles to the north at the town now called Osnabrück those three legions were defeated by the German tribes, reason they lost, a ambush in the Teutoburg Forest at a narrow passage in the middle of the woods, Romans had long swords, Germans short swords and the advance that they came from the hill site, the long swords and no formation they could make so fast was the reason they lost because the trees in the woods were close to each other, so the swords of the Romans were less effective. August the Roman Empire in Rome at that time smashed his head against the doors serval times screaming I WANT MY LEGIONS BACK... after hearing the news of this defeat. Twenty thousand Roman soldiers and commanders butchered and didn't survive the battle and was a huge victory for the German tribes. After that "the river rine", was the border of a 7-year war between Rome and now called Germany and Netherlands and Rome never again took over Germany and the north of the Netherlands were the tribe lived FRISIA now called Friesland in the Netherlands were I live in a town called Witmarsum. Detail, 6 years later a huge roman legion came to this Teutoburg Forest to bury the remains from whats left , than left Germany and never came back. Instead Rome went into England. The rest of the song is brillant and tells us the German inovations, the deep shame of WW2, the people and there struggle, the middle age victories and crusaders but all in favour of the united Germany what started only 150 years ago, so the USA is older than Germany as a country because before 1870 whats now called Germany were many different small kingdoms and rulers of a certain area... So thats some history :)
Fabulous music
watch it four times. First only the music; then only the video; then with both music and video; and then with neither music nor video. Each is spectacular!
As somebody born in the socialist GDR just like the band (& same city as Till) I was a bit offended when you called it Nazi symbols.
Nothing to be too proud of either but far faaar from as horrible as the Nazi era.
By the way:
The hammer represented the workers in the factories. The compass represented the intelligentsia, and the ring of rye the farmers.
wrong
Yes Dude, thank´s God for Rammstein and thank´s for this nice Reaction. Please more Rammstein also Lindemann Solo Reactions. Greetinhs from the Homland of Rammstein.
The video opens in AD 16, on the ‘barbarian’ side of the lines, the border of the Roman Empire. Roman soldiers creep through the woods in the aftermath of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. The Romans were ambushed by an alliance of Germanic Tribes, led by a chieftain called Arminius (the original Hermann the German). Three legionary standards were captured, a loss symbolic and moral, as well as physical, and decades were spent trying to recover them. Rome never again attempted to take the lands east of the River Rhine, known as Germania.
‘Germania’ refers not just to a place, somewhere partly defined by where it isn’t (Rome) as well as where it is, but also to a national figurehead, traditionally representing the German people. Germania is a strong woman, usually armour-clad and battle-ready. Various symbols appear with her, among them a breastplate with an eagle, a black, red, and gold flag, and a crown. Look out for these in the video - they come up again and again - and the colours of the contemporary flag are there in every scene.
We get our first glimpse of Germania here (played by Ruby Commey), who stands holding Till Lindemann’s severed head. Next, astronauts appear carrying a metal and glass box shaped like a coffin. In the background we see a U-boat - a German submarine, used in World Wars I and II. Then we move to a scene set at a boxing match which takes us to Weimar Germany (1918-1933), a period known for its political instability but also greater cultural liberalism. Here, Germania appears in the cabaret costume of a flapper girl, and the boxers fight with knuckle-dusters as a crowd cheers them on.
We see the former East Germany, complete with busts of Marx and Lenin, the national emblem of East Germany, and a lookalike of the long-serving, insular, and repressive GDR leader Erich Honecker. There’s another astronaut, or rather a cosmonaut: Sigmund Jähn, the first German in space, who flew with the USSR’s space program (and who’s also a character in the 2003 film, Good Bye Lenin!). Medieval monks feast grotesquely on the supine Germania, tearing sauerkraut and sausage from Ruby Commey’s body, prison inmates are beaten by guards dressed in police and military uniforms from different historical periods.
The most obviously shocking scene references the Holocaust and the Nazi period. Four members of the band, in the striped uniforms of camp inmates, wait at the gallows, about to be hanged. They wear the cloth emblems used to identify their ‘crimes’: a pink triangle for homosexual prisoners, a yellow star for Jewish prisoners, a red and yellow star for Jewish political prisoners.
This sequence, teased in an earlier promo video, has already caused controversy. Have Rammstein the right to do this? Do they trivialise the suffering of Holocaust victims? How can they justify using Holocaust imagery to promote their new video? These are important questions that are part of a much bigger debate about the ethics of using the Holocaust in art and media.
Other scenes include the band walking away from a flaming airship, referring to the 1937 Hindenburg Disaster, in which 36 people died. Rats scuttle across the floor when the monks first appear, suggesting the Pied Piper of Hamelin, a legend with origins in the 13th century.
Germania walks towards the camera in a leather jacket, gold jewellery and a string of bullets across her chest, resembling the chariot drawn by four horses (the ‘Quadriga’) on top of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. The band members’ heads are shown as white marble busts, taking us to the 19th century Walhalla memorial in Bavaria, built as German Hall of Fame, its sculpted heads of German worthies on display to this day.
In the prison, hundreds of banknotes fall from above, suggesting the devastating hyperinflation Germany suffered in the 1920s. Nazis burn books, intercut with religious fanatics burning witches. We recognise members of the Red Army Faction (also known as the Baader-Meinhof group), a militant organisation active in the 1970s in West Germany. And in a blink-or-you-miss-it exchange, we are reminded of the much-criticised relationship between the churches and the state during the Third Reich.
Each scene captures in a moment the icons of an era, and the video cuts between them more and more frenetically as it goes on. Events bleed into each other, linked by the presence of the band members and the red laser beam that appears throughout the video, a ‘roter Faden’ (red thread or central theme), connecting each event.
Germany engages with its history in a very particular way. Try to imagine the video about Britain, with Britannia played by Ruby Commey. What would the equivalent events be? Quite a few of the tableaux might be similar - Romans, Crusaders, monks, 18th-century soldiers, collarless shirts and bareknuckle boxing - but would it have the same impact?
There’s no affection, and perhaps not much hope: its pessimistic tone seems to be quite an off-brand message for post-1989 Germany, which wants to acknowledge its past critically, while also looking to its future as a state at the heart of Europe. And actually, while we get a lot of medieval and twentieth-century history, the video’s tour through the past seems to stop in the late 1980s, before the fall of the Berlin Wall and Reunification of East and West Germany. Instead, we jump into the future, where the space-suited band take Germania into the unknown, travelling in that coffin-shaped glass box.
There’s an echo of the video for Sonne, where Snow White is trapped in a glass coffin. In fact, a piano version of Sonne plays over the end credits of Deutschland. This is a useful link for understanding something of what Rammstein is doing here. In Sonne, where the band’s characters free themselves of Snow White (naturally, they’ve been her sex-slaves), only to realise that they have made a mistake and long for her return, the overwhelming feeling of Deutschland seems to be that when it comes to Germania (or Germany): you can’t love her, and you can’t live without her.
Copied from GERMANIA (youtube acc) All belongs to him because its can explain all moments in the Video
It’s budget was round about 600.000 Euro

Hello, german here.
Rammstein is playing a classic "Industrial Metal" style. A 50-50 mix of synthesizers and hard metal guitars.
A big part of the German history in one video. The black woman was Germania. Germania is the mother of the German nation. It isn't and wasn't a Goddess or Joan of Arc.
The glass coffin: It is Little Snow White from the Grimm-fairy tales....and from their own video "Sonne". Only with black skin and in space. The piano song at the end is the song "Sonne'', too.
The battle of the Teutoburg forest against the Romans (and Rammstein as Roman soldiers and Germans alike).
That battle is of ABSOLUTE importance for the German history.
The hanged bodies in the trees were the beaten Roman soldiers, who were gruesome sacrifices to the Germanic gods...and were partly nailed to the trees.
The Varus-(Teutoburg)-Battle was already in 9 AD. In 16 AD were the vengeance campaigns of Emperor Germanicus. Therefore we see here the arrival of the Roman troops of Germanicus and they are watching their dead comrades hanging in the trees or getting their heads chopped off (for nailing them to the trees).
In reality the Romans under Germanicus found only the bones of the Varus army in the various ways they were slaughtered, sacrificed and displayed in the trees. Slaves were liberated even decades after the battle.
After the scenes with the Romans we saw the Hindenburg Zeppelin disaster (the burning Zeppelin in the background).
The moustaches and clothing from the fight scene are from WWI and post WWI years. From the working class people in WWI and the roaring 20's. In the WWII years later on this kind of big bushy moustache was already out of fashion.
The V2 rocket (first manmade object in space) was a technical triumph of the German spirit...and at the same time the killing of the concentration camp prisoners in the bunker factories below the mountains during the production of that rocket.
This scene in the video could be a representation of a very specific concentration camp. It was "Mittelbau-Dora" below the Kohnstein mountain.
A mixture between a big, huge bunker factory for V1 and V2 rockets and a concentration camp.
The concentration camp inmates had several different markings for different kinds of convicts and their "crimes'' down to their chests, like it was in reality, too. A pink triangle for homosexuals, the star of David for Jews and two of them were marked with the double-triangles for Jehovas Whitnesses.
The book burnings of the Nazis and the burning of the witches of the church. In the same scene with the book burning there is EVEN MORE going on. The cooperation of the church with the Nazis, when the priest with the cross embraces the Nazi SA-man.
The scene with the sign with the Hammer and a pair of compasses in a circle of wheat is the sign of the GDR (DDR). The socialst German state in the east that existed before the German reunification.
Therefore it was Karl Marx in the background in the scene with the tank (not the scene at the concentration camp).
The scene with Rammstein wielding guns (the pumpgun) and taking Germania hostage was about leftwing terrorism of the 1970's. The terrorists were called the RAF (Rote Armee Fraktion).
My interpretation of the red scanner-like beams: There are two different kinds of beams. The massive straight red light beam that goes up into the heavens AND there were those smaller, thinner "scanner" beams.
Aliens (or humans from the future) are scanning the whole German history. Like some real scientists are scanning and excavating ancient Mexican or Egyptian statues, for example.
The massive red light beam is the red ribbon of time that ties together all the historical events.
PS: As for the dogs: Germans are fanatical dog lovers. We are a dog-owner nation. The dog is a firm part of Germany.
PPS: They didn't eat the body of the woman and her inner organs, even if it really looked that way. They were eating the national dish of Germany, that was put on the body of the black woman: Sauerkraut, Kassler & sausages.
In my opinion it symbolizes the church eating itself fat on the goods and values and food of Germany during the simple people (farmers, simple workers etc) lived a long time in a kind of hell of poverty and serfdom (the red fetish area below the table with Germania on it).
But that eating scene could indeed have a double meaning. It could represent the 30 years war that was fought for religious reasons and depopulated large areas of Germany. It forced the people to commit cannibalism because nobody was there anymore to produce food. Except the fat, wealthy people of the church, of course. They were still able to eat enough. Only the simple people at the bottom (farmers etc) died from hunger and had to fight and die in that war.
The 30 years war was the biggest catastrophe in Germany until WWI happened.
PPPS: The short scene with the dogs and their gas masks = WWI, where in reality animals (messenger dogs & horses) AND soldiers were wearing gas masks, too.
PPPPS: The puppies at the end are Leonberger dogs. The Leonbergers nearly went extinct during WWI and WWII.
PPPPPS: My interpretation of the glass coffin is Little Snow White in space, like I wrote before.
PPPPPPS: The black woman in the prison was dressed in a Prussian uniform with a Prussian helmet.
Finally:
I think, the choice of the black woman as main actress was made, because:
a) it makes any accusations of racism and fascism against Rammstein useless
b) she represents one colour of the German flag and she is wearing the rest of the colours of our German flag as makeup and jewellery and clothes on her body: Black, Red and Gold
c) it provokes many people EVEN MORE
Thank you for explaining this Epic art music movie/video . Whitout English Lyrics un English Spoken person don't havet a clue.whats going on. As a Swede its much esier to understand the german language .
Germanicus never become emperor unfortunately, Rome got Caligula instead after Tiberius died but in 16 ad Tiberius was still Emperor
What a expensive masterpiece..
Scary how time passes, doesnt seem like 3 years ago...
I literally had to stop the video when he said it was three years ago... I was like "What...?" What have I even been doing the last three years. Feels like this came out some months ago.
This is German History all in one MV OmG
The opening chords are a variation on Anne Clark's "Our Darkness."!!! This is the headline. It's a pity that most listeners don't get all the layers of meaning. Rammstein is ART.
This song was a mega hit also in… Poland. Says a lot about how Rammstein is insane.
Look the German Band Eisberg with the Song....this is Deutsch...you like it
Deutschland überallen.
Great reaction. Ein, Zwei, drei.....
Yes, there is another epic video but on a different scale. “Mein Herz brennt” the Piano Version. Best watch the Trifecta - the original video which gives you the first part of the story, the live version, the piano version … and if that doesn’t give you nightmares …
nj hat es im blut
The lasers are the strings of time, so to speak.
Hier geht es um eine ca. 2000 jährige Geschichte, angefangen bei der Varusschlacht! Diese schöne Frau spielt da Germania, eine Göttin!
Grüße aus Deutschland
I'm ARMY and a Rammstein fan. I'm thriving! 😂
Army??? und Rammstein??? ... schreibt du hier Army wegen in der Hoffnung aufmerksam kriegen ,😑
@@stopit2036 Ich weiß nicht wirklich, womit ich dich verärgert habe? Ich habe den Kommentar geschrieben, weil ich den Kanal wegen der BTS Videos abonniert habe und mir nicht klar war, dass er auch Rammstein content bringt. Ist nicht wirklich tiefgründiger, als das was ich geschrieben habe. 😂
Edit: Im Ernst, bitte klär mich auf. Ich bin gerade echt verwirrt und ich neige dazu, viel zu lange über so etwas nachzudenken. Bin gerade schon dabei, andere ARMYs zu fragen, ob ich irgendeine BTS/Rammstein Kontroverse verpasst habe. Bitte hilf mir und erklär mir das Problem. 😂
Your sign reminds me of something you see in the video
I'm not from Germany but I have German ancestry, I understand some of the language, and I'm a bit of history lover. There were three lines that really stood out to me; "Man kann dich lieben und will dich hassen," ("One can love you and want to hate you"), "Deutschland meine Liebe kann ich dir nicht geben," ("Germany, my love I cannot give you"), and "Deutschland Deutschland über allen" ("Germany, Germany over everyone," which is a snarky, sarcastic take on a line from the Nazi's national anthem that said "Germany, Germany over everything.") And the video does a great job of going through German history. Really powerful song and video.
Deutschland, Deutschland über Alles is the first line of the Deutschlandlied, which existed long before the Nazis. It was composed in 1841, in a time when there was no united Germany. The author was stripped of his Prussian citizenship due to his liberal works and lived in exile while writing it. And that is what it actually refers to, a shout out to all Germans in all the different small states to unite and stand up against the French claims to German territory left of the Rhine river. It is today misunderstood as a claim for Germany to rule over everyone, thanks to the Nazis. Already the second line talks about protection and defense though. IMO this is what Rammstein wanted to highlight by changing the "über alles" (above all) to "über allen" (above everyone). That the meaning of that line was taken into the wrong direction by the Nazis and misunderstood by most people still today.
first. BEST REACTION EVER! sec., All Rammstein videos are awesome!
Deutschland... you are a curse and a blessing... I want to love you but I have to hate you... so many atrocities have been committed in the course of history... Very controversial, very honest, very Rammstein
For some german medieval folk rock I recommend listening to Loki by Saltatio Mortis. It's rock with bagpipes. Kind of.
lol trash, vikings wannabees... so absurdly wrong
You might enjoy the video to "Mein Herz brennt".
Great reaction👍🏻😊 It's always fun to watch! 😁 Please take a look at the song "Spring" by Rammstein .. Greetings from Germany
One of the best Rammstein works music wise
👍👍👍
2000 years of german history in a music video ❗️
it is about the torn feelings of many germans towards their country. a lot of good things come from germany and you could be proud to be a part of it and to contribute to it. but there are these bad times that have led the whole world to the abyss
one line reads "Germany wants to love and condemn you". another one says "my love ... I can't give you"
Still one of the best music reaction channels on RUclips. The whole Video will understand only Historians and Germans and these people also have to watch the video several times. Meanwhile there are many good explanations about this video on RUclips. The video features various events from German history, including Roman times, the Middle Ages, witch hunting and burning, Protestant Reformation, the November Revolution, the "Golden Twenties" and hyperinflation, Nazi book burnings, the Hindenburg disaster, the First and Second World Wars, the Holocaust, the Weimar Republic, the Red Army Fraction (violent alliance of young people and students against Nazis in high state and economy positions in post-war Germany), and the division of the country into West and East Germany including the Uprising June 17
A lot of people do not understand the scenes with the dogs. This breed of dogs are not German Shepards, but Leonberger. This breed of dog narrowly escaped extinction during the First and Second World Wars and is symbolic of the German people, whose existence was also strongly threatened in those wars - both now have a second existential chance.
I just left you a message on your BTS “Not Today” video and I want to make sure you see it.
by the way till lindemann the singer is a professional pyrotechnician and all the pyro used in videos or on stage is made by him just saying
Imho there is a better video to answer your request. It's called "Haifisch" by Rammstein. To watch that, it would be good to read the story of the "Three Pence Opera" (Dreigroschenoper) from Bert Brecht before and listen to the Moritate of Meckie Messer from K.Weill (Part of the Opera) and you will find out how much Till is a fan of B. Brecht. It is great also. If you find a version with English subtitle you find out that the cinematic contradicts the lyrics at all. And for the attentive viewer some special events are in too. Did you find the first time watching the video James Hetfield and Marylin Manson?
4:00 NJ sees the GDR(DDR) emblem on the wall of a Stasi office and he shouts
"What, they got the nazis In it"
NJ, this is just for you ruclips.net/video/KG1m0HZ0y2A/видео.html
It wouldt have been "the best music video ever" if you understand it fully
Have a look at "Zeit"
Please check out ‚Radio‘ (official Video) from Rammstein
And you still haven't watched and reacted to "Weisses Fleisch" live at MSG!? You will love it!
A predator movie in the roman empire time... sounds cool :)
Sonne
Rammstein really uses a lot of symbols in this song. The real meaning only emerges with the lyrics and the video together. You really have to analyze it more closely and then you will understand the deeper meaning. In this song the Middle Ages, the time of the Romans, the GDR - these historical events are presented in different roles. Of course, the theme of the Nazi era and the persecution of the Jews is also addressed, although its presentation does not differ from the style of the other scenes. A constant in the entire video is a woman who appears as a personified Germany in the different epochs. If you know this woman is representing germany and looking to the video again you will see so much more. I think, the choice of the black woman as main actress was made, because:
a) it makes any accusations of racism and fascism against Rammstein useless
b) she represents one colour of the German flag and she is wearing the rest of the colours of our German flag as makeup and jewellery and clothes on her body: Black, Red and Gold
c) it provokes many people EVEN MORE!
Sometimes as a victim, sometimes as a perpetrator. In the text there are also several sections that contradict each other, e.g. "Will love and damn you". Statements like these express Germany's good and bad sides on the one hand. One of the passages like "so young and yet so old". This means that German history began early. But through certain events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the founding of the GDR through which a new era began for Germany. "one can love you and yet hate you!" It is a question of whether you can be proud of your country or not. "Your love is a curse and a blessing. I cannot give you my love." Germany is aware of the good but also dark times and many see the dark times as so extreme that it is difficult to give your country your love and pride. I must have overlooked a few things in the video, but those are the parts that stand out. I was born and raised in Germany myself and feel the same when it comes to being proud of my country. As for the dogs: Germans are fanatical dog lovers. We are a dog-owner nation. The dog is a firm part of Germany. They didn't eat the body of the woman and her inner organs, even if it really looked that way. They were eating the national dish of Germany, that was put on the body of the black woman: Sauerkraut, Kassler & sausages. it symbolizes the church eating itself fat on the goods and values and food of Germany during the simple people (farmers, simple workers etc) lived a long time in a kind of hell of poverty and serfdom (the red fetish area below the table with Germania on it).

Only the simple people at the bottom (farmers etc) died from hunger and had to fight and die in that war.

Here the lyrics in english:
You (You have, you have, you have, you have)
Have cried a lot (Cried, cried, cried, cried)
Separated in spirit (Separated, separated, separated, separated)
United in heart (United, united, united, united)
We (We are, we are, we are, we are)
Have been together for so long (You are, you are, you are, you are)
Your breath's cold (So cold, so cold, so cold, so cold)
The heart in flames (So hot, so hot, so hot, so hot)
You (You can, you can, you can, you can)
I (I know, I know, I know, I know)
We (We are, we are, we are, we are)
You (You stay, you stay, you stay, you stay)
[Chorus]
Germany - my heart in flames
Want to love and damn you
Germany - your breath's cold
So young, and yet so old
Germany!
[Verse 2]
I (You have, you have, you have, you have)
I never want to leave you (You cry, you cry, you cry, you cry)
One can love you (You love, you love, you love, you love)
And want to hate you (You hate, you hate, you hate, you hate)
Presumptuous, superior
Take over, hand over/puke
Surprise, invade
Germany, Germany above everything
[Chorus]
Germany - my heart in flames
Want to love and damn you
Germany - your breath is cold
So young, and yet so old
Germany - your love
Is a curse and a blessing
Germany - my love
I can't give you
Germany!
Germany!
[Bridge]
You
I
We
All of you
You (superior/overpowering, unnecessary)
I (Übermenschen weary)
We (The higher you climb, the further you fall)
You (Germany, Germany above everything)
[Chorus]
Germany - your heart in flames
Want to love and damn you
Germany - my breath's cold
So young, and yet so old
Germany - your love
Is a curse and blessing
Germany - my love
I can't give you
Germany!
Are those Schutzstaffel bolts in the top left corner?
What the ... I just got one question: WHY? LOL
Those are Runes. Not bolts. It's the so called "Sig-Rune".
But I've asked myself the same question, becaue those are the exact same runes from "bad times".
Is the heart confirmation?
Those guys at the first time we hear the chorus are not nazies those are the soviets. East Germany
"The message is clear"
I'm honestly curious as to what you think that message was, since the iconography on your channel suggests your views might be pretty much the opposite of theirs with regards to which parts of German history are admirable and which are shameful. Maybe check out a translation of the lyrics, see if your reading of the message is the same.
More rammstein please!!!
