Rammstein's Deutschland video explained: introducing Germania
Rammstein’s Deutschland takes us on a thrilling, violent, and moving journey through German history. At over nine minutes, it gives us a panorama of events and historical and mythical figures, and there are so many references and Easter eggs that fans and commentators will be poring over it for some time to come.
The video opens in AD 16, on the ‘barbarian’ side of the limes, 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 (opens in new tab) 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.
Rammstein Deutschland video still
Ruby Commey as Germania
Rammstein's Deutschland video explained: Marx, Lenin and the GDR
We see the former East Germany, complete with busts of Marx and Lenin, the national emblem of East Germany (opens in new tab), 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.
Rammstein Deutschland video still
Rammstein's Deutschland video explained: the finale
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.
PS: I did not write the comment myself the Credit for it goes to:
Ingovonderluhe174 i just copyied for you, cause he did the best explanation that i saw on YouToube!
Rammstein songs are very deep and have strong messages (most of them 😁). This song shows the history of Germany … they talk about love and hate for their country. Great artists 🤩
Germanya ist the Personifikation of the Country itself. Greetings from Germany
Don't feel stupid after watching "Deutschland", I think most of the people was like "what is going on here?" , including me :) There are super detailed analysis of this viideo in YT, I had to watch this a couple of times to understand it. What I know is Rammstein are dealing with history of their motherland and take us in time travel. We see Middle Ages, the battle, the monks (I guess they represents the Reformation, oh and they don't eat Germania, she's covered by typical german food" sauerkraut and sausages), Hindenburg disaster, hyperinflation after First World War, Holocaust of course, and DDR - communist time. Germania represents Deutschland itself, that's why we see her in every time period. She's always black/gold/red like german flag.
The video is full of symbolism, lots of connection to other Rammstein's videoclips.
So really, your reaction like "huh?" is IMO very normal reaction :) I'm from Poland so I don't know everything, I'm sure other people will explain more.
Greetings and I wait for the next reaction! ❤
They do eat Germania I think, since her lungs are sticking out of her chest. The sausages and sauerkraut are a clever replacement for innards.
@@Anuta6675 never thought about it this way, you are right.

MORE RAMMSTEIN!!!
You got more of the message of the song than 80% by the first viewing
Rammlied live from MSG - please, your next reaction 😎
You want to love your country, but the burden of the past weighs heavily. I interpret the song as follows: Arrogance and greed for power lead to downfall in the long run - we should all learn from the past and engage with it - never forget. This applies not only to Germany.
Bro this song only talks about dark moments of our history.
I find German history incredibly fascinating because the Germans and Germany were always there, but at the same time not and always different like a shapeshifter.
Stupid oversimplified:
Rejects Roman annexation - Germanic Tribes defeat Rome, are often slapped in the face, but Rome generally fails to subdue them
Creates an empire that wasn't really an empire but also was an empire and somehow lived for over 1000 years - very special and unique
The Kingdom of Prussia and hundreds of German States gangsta! Before being defeated by one of history's greatest generals.
defeats the French, unites into a new empire
Get a colonial empire
Fights 80% of the world alone and almost won..
Is treated badly
Comeback as Villian, fights the whole world and only lost because of own mistakes..
Gets divided again
Reunites again and is not allowed to be strong again.

Well, as you saw, the Germans changed the world with their inventions many times. Where we would be today without the German art of thinking.. And Craftsmanship.
Germany the land of poets and thinkers - that's how it was known
The problem is that many Germans are not proud of their country and blood because they were brought up that way. Because if you say anything to that effect, you will be called a Nazi. The problem is that many people don't have the right deep historical knowledge that people need to understand the world and and that only Hitler himself and his party were Nazis. There was a big difference between Nazi, German and Wehrmacht soldier. There is no such thing as black and white.. People always wonder how could the Germans follow the Austrian Painter.. Well most Germans followed Hitler because of the crisis. Germans were so depressed that it is unimaginable for us. They were seen as evil around the world as they were blamed for everything in World War I. And when you have 3 kids at home, no job, money is worthless and no food and water you will follow anyone who promises you to fix it. Because that's what the Nazis did in the beginning - they fixed the crisis and gave the Germans hope again.. Or better: They gave the German people a scapegoat to blame. And remember that antisemitism was normal in Europe for hundreds of years. Many people didn't liked the jews because they were often these rich trading people. No German at the time could have known that Hitler was so crazy.
It's not as easy as we always think. Even in the Wehrmacht, only a few liked the Nazis. They were German soldiers. the general German soldier, like my grandfather, had nothing to do with the Nazis and the Holocaust. And if we are honest: what kind of "peace" could the general German soldier expect? What could have they expect after all the Nazi crimes and everyone thought that all Germans were evil Nazis. Most soldiers fought for their lives and German people against a planet. If even many of Hitler's own generals like Rommel (legend) or Stauffenberg knew that he was not quite right in the head.. Then the normal soldier knew that even more. Many Germans were manipulated by the ultimate propaganda of the Nazis and could do nothing about it. They thought to the last second that they were winning because of the propaganda. You can imagine the Nazis like a natural dark Parasite Rising from the suffering of the Germans. And the 'Problem' is that Germans are People who have a very special work and perfectionism mentality. That's not a weak enemy.. Look what the german army achieved in ww2.. Because of their unbreakable pride. Calling all German soldiers Nazis is like calling all American soldiers democrats because they were in power.
We should be prouder of ourselves, after all, Germany has repeatedly fought against the entire world, one time under a bad regime. We made this modern world possible and maintain a reputation for perfection and quality. The hard-working German. Or rather, we once had this reputation. Today there is no longer a country of poets and thinkers. We are still occupied by the USA.. Because we are the most important point in Europe. And people are manipulated and have no prospects.. If you're proud of your history.. You will be called a Nazi.
What I also find very interesting is that the Germanic people spread very far and are therefore the ancestors of many other people. Therefore, historians are not entirely sure how German the Germanic peoples were, but since they were the first to speak German and also created English, they were already German. In addition, the Germans were also the ancestors of the Vikings means Germanic mythology is almost identical to Norse mythology. Actually the same.
I would be in favor of not only teaching the Americans that Germany is the bad guy and that they really deal with it.
Most of the settlers who came to America at that time were German. Over 40 million. That's why you have so many German names. That's why the Americans love German culture and are surrounded by it, but don't want to admit it. Every "American" fairy tale was recorded and reinvented by the Brothers Grimm, they were German..
Thanks for listening 🎉
@@frontgamet.v1892 No, Germany instigated both world wars, and it was treated fairly and wasn't even punished that harshly.
You say that Germans cant even be proud of their country otherwise they'll be called nazis, but you repeat nazi myths designed to wash the Wehrmacht of any atrocity, you brag about how Germany fought against in the entire world.
Rommel was a nazi, a member of the nazi party, and participated in the Wehrmacht's victories, which participated in The Final Solution, which makes both the Wehrmacht and Erwin Rommel participants of the holocaust and Hitler's ethnic cleansings..
The nazis were repeatedly rehabilated and forgiven by both sides after world war 2, the wehrmacht was cleansed of any wrongdoing (despite the fact that they were the main machine performing the Final Solution), yet you still complain about how the Germans are treated unfairly.
You should study history.
@@eeeertoo2597 Germany didn't started ww1 and ww2
And they were punished harshly.. Extremely.

2000 years germany History into the video.
Germania (the black woman) on the way from the time of Germania magna (so called from the roman empire) too the modern time with much historical incidents . Under other reaction videos there are long explanation from other people who can say something too every scene.
Thx for your reaction and greats from Germany.
As a german, do never call us the evil guys if you do not know anything about our history.
Sure, we were the evil guys, but look up waht we exactly did, why we did it, what made us do these things.
Thats how we learn from history and that is how we can make sure it will never happen again.
we dont think you are evil guys we love you
You're not evil, you once had a government that was a dictatorship and had evil values, that's different. And the german citizens were its first victims. All countries have a dark side if you look. Love from your neighboring Belgium!

React,, Zeit,, from Rammstein ❤
Rammstein have so much to offer on many levels: incredibly good sound, videos in cinema quality, lyrics that can be poetic, profound, disturbing, provocative but also funny, sad or touching. It's written in such a way that it can mean different things to different people. And of course those bombastic, energetic live shows - there's absolutely nothing else that compares. I recommend you next "Engel" live MSG.
will do just stay tunned
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 words "Germania Magna" at the beginning are a Roman name for the area of Germany, that wasn't conquered by the Roman Empire at that time.
Germania Superior and Germania Inferior were the Roman conquered areas (Roman provinces) of Germany.
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 commanding field general Germanicus under Emperor Tiberius Augustus. 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 socialist 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 umphteenth 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 😄
Greetings

PS: UA-cam didn't allow me to integrate this information into the bigger text (above) for unknown reasons, therefore I'm posting it here:
The troops, who smashed the Jewish shops during the Kristallnacht (not shown in the video) were SA (Sturmabteilung) in brown uniform and not the later SS (Schutzstaffel) in the black uniform. The SA did all the dirty work at the beginning of the Nazi rise to power...until the "Night of the long knives", an inner-Nazi power struggle, happened. The head of the SA (Ernst Röhm) was killed and from then on the SA was turned more and more into the SS under Himmler.
The book burnings were part of the early Nazi years, too, and were done by the SA, too. One can see the SA burning the books and Till is watching it in a brown SA uniform.
Both, Kristallnacht and book burnings were different things and happened at different times. The book burnings happened over a longer timespan at different locations at different times during the Kristallnacht was one big "event" that happened at one single day.
Kristallnacht means "Crystal Night" and was called that way, because the smashed shop windows of the Jewish shops looked like thousands of crystals on the ground. But in the Rammstein video I've only seen the book burnings.
PPS:
The two beer drinking soldiers to the left side of the table, where Germania is lying on and where the priests are eating Sauerkraut & Sausages from her body, are not French soldiers and they aren't representing the French revolution. Those two beer drinking soldiers are Prussian soldiers and they are emphasizing the importance of Prussia for the German history.
As far as I could see: They were from the era of Friedrich der Große (The Old Fritz), who was of extraordinary importance for German history. Amongst many other achievements he was the one, who brought the potato to Prussia and Germany. That saved many Germans from hunger and the potato became one of the most beloved foods in Germany on that way.
PPPS: The name Rammstein comes from the German town Ramstein (with one "m"). There is an US-airbase and there happened a big, tragic airshow disaster, when two jets collided and fell into the audience.
Therefore all the flames and the burning coat during the song Rammstein and all the fire in their shows in general. But that rather tasteless name and the negative press echo were too much even for Rammstein. So they changed their name later in Rammstein, what indeed means "battering stone".
They delivered a half assed explanation for it decades ago. I've forgotten, what they said. A fact is, that they called themselves after that town and that airshow disaster. Probably for provocation purposes.
Their old song "Rammstein" even tells in other words the story of that disaster and it tells about a fine day with a warm shining sun...and burning people.
Neue Deutsche Härte was always a pretty unsatisfying new name for the music they made mainly: Industrial or Industrial Metal/Rock.
woah. mega comment... ❤❤❤

I'm glad when I was able to help. :)
It's just different time periods throughout Germany, or Deutschland. The Woman throughout represents Germania. It's a love/ hate relationship with your country. Every country has done good and bad stuff.
true
The closing credits song is a piano version of Rammstein - Sonne. That is also a fantastic song!
This is one of the greatest music videos in history.❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
There is a very good half hour analysis of the video on the Three Arrows UA-cam channel.
In the video it is the female figure Germania and from the Romans who called our country Germania magna "Great Germania".
And the reason why it is a Black Woman (Germania) is because she was abused as a figure by the Nazis for their ideology and as a Black Woman this would never have happened.
then you see as you have noted of course the Holocaust
then the crash of the Hindenburg
the crusades,
the witch burnings,
the Weimar Republic,
the Baader Meinhof gang (criminal organization in the 70s) I myself also still experienced.
Then also the division of Germany and the GDR (East Germany)
And still some what I can not assign directly.
Lindemann - Praise Abort
Lindemann - Knebel
Lindemann - Blut
Lindemann - Ich hasse Kinder
Nah, the Lindemann solo-stuff is pretty trashy in comparison to Rammstein
Look to Zeit and Angst with subtitle. They are the best.
You should put on the subs to understand Rammstein songs. There is often a deep message in their songs.
Next song zeit official video 🙌🏻
Hello you three, nice that you stay on the ball. The video is about German history. It would be nice if you introduced yourself with your name. Another heal of Rammstein is Engel im MSG. nice greetings from Germany.
Hey guys, great reaction to Rammstein. I'm from Hamburg and I'm a big Rammstein fan myself. Please watch the music video "Adieu" by Rammstein. This is definitely something for you... worth watching to the end. Many greetings from Germany.
Hi, I'm from Germany.
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 words "Germania Magna" at the beginning are a Roman name for the area of Germany, that wasn't conquered by the Roman Empire at that time.
Germania Superior and Germania Inferior were the Roman conquered areas (Roman provinces) of Germany.
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 commanding field general Germanicus under Emperor Tiberius Augustus. 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 umphteenth 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 😄
Hey,check "Spring" the fan made video with Translation oder "ZEIT" VIDEO,this is fantastische ,high end Performance eHey, check "Spring" the fan made video with Translation or "ZEIT" VIDEO, this is fantastic, high end performance of the extra class! Emotional, beautiful and powerful... just RAMMSTEIN!!! 🤘🤘🤘😎😎😎 Greetings from Berlin, Germany
greetings my friend
Rammstein-mein teil live pls
Great reaction, and you got a lot on first viewing. Kudos.
Great reaction guys! Extra kudos for watching the outro to the end.
If you are really interested in the details: Three Arrows did an in depth analysis video of this.
Germania is the Spirit of Germany
You might want to review Till's solo work. As with the whole band, is outstanding 🎉❤🎉
The whole Video will understand only Historians and Germans and these people also have to watch the video several times. The song is about the ambivalent relationship of Rammstein and many Germans to their country, because of the violent and cruel history with extensive human crimes ("red line of violence through german history"), especially in recent history. Therefore 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 anti-capitalist terror 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 in East Germany. The black woman represents Germany and one of the Colors of the German flags, sometimes as a victim, but mostly as a perpetrator. With her black skin she is also a provocation to all stupid racists
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 also Second World Wars and is symbolic of the German people, whose existence was also strongly threatened in those wars (Morgenthau-Plan) - both now have a second existential chance, just like the new German democratic constitution, which in future must be protected as strongly as if it were under quarantine (Judges in red robes, Rammstein members in protective suits with the dogs)
The Holocaust was for this reason the greatest human crime because it was the first industrially organized mass murder in human history, by a country that was culturally at its highest point at this time and called itself the country of poets and thinkers. But it is precisely the high cultural and scientific level of Germany that unfortunately caused others to be viewed as subhuman who can be killed without pity, just like animals. Seeing other people as inferior has always brought a lot of suffering to people
Rammstein is one of the most famous metal bands and living legends with the same line-up for 25 years. They are a german band and are considered the best live band in the world, especially when it comes to showmenship, pyro and fire. Above all, Rammstein uses pyro quite differently than all other bands.
Rammstein's music is a mixture of techno (electronic music) and metal (= industrial metal). Rammstein concerts are a life time experience that you will never forget. Their videos are art but also often controversial.
Rammstein also refers to classical German literature, e.g. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's. Several of their songs are related to controversial and taboo subjects such as sadomasochism, homosexuality, intersexuality, incest, pedophilia, necrophilia, cannibalism, pyromania, religion and sexual violence. Also several of their songs are allegedly inspired by real-life events or politics. Rammstein lyrics are very deep and are also often used in school and universities around the world to learn German. There are people who learn German only because of Rammstein. Rammstein fans are considered to be the craziest and most fanatical fans in the world. In concerts from the hardcore fans all over the world it is expected that you can sing along with the German lyrics even if you don't speak German.😉
Hey You! Rammstein are from the old GDR! They lived under Honecker! They show us the practice from there live to the live under Hitler! Our Government now is not far away from that! That!s why they made this Video!
Ha guys nice reaction.👍 If you want it translated with captions Educated Marine does an amazing job.👍❤️
good video but it was too early to see deutschland, you should start with older videos so you can understand Rammstein much better I recommend Ohne Dich (official video)
Great reaction^^ by the way @educatedmarine has most of their music videos on his chanel with english subtitels ;)
Well all those scenes are distinct symbolisms about over 1000 years German history shown totally random by jumping back and forth the centuries scene after scene without any timeline, the only constant figure in all those scenes from different time periods is that black woman who is respresenting Germany as a personification of the country alternate either shown strong and proud with pathos or shown totally abused...of course that is confusing for everyone who is not familiar with detailed German history.
The majority of the German audience understand every single scene and every shown symbolism in those scenes of course.
The meaning of the song/the lyrics when broken down into a nutshell is basically kinda "I do want to love you regardless (meant is Germany) but I really can´t do that"...because there are many things to be proud of and also many things that are really shamefull as well....
If you are really interested about the meanings and symbolisms of every single scene there are some videos on YT which are breaking down the video scene by scene explaining the historical context. Just type in the YT search bar "explain Deutschland video" or "Deutschland video explained" and those will pop up....explaining that here in the comment section is really very much to write, which I´ve done already without even starting...
black, red, gold
This song only talks about dark moments from our history
I find German history incredibly fascinating because the Germans and Germany were always there, but at the same time not and always different like a shapeshifter.
Stupid oversimplified:
Rejects Roman annexation - Germanic Tribes defeat Rome, are often slapped in the face, but Rome generally fails to subdue them
Creates an empire that wasn't really an empire but also was an empire and somehow lived for over 1000 years - very special and unique
The Kingdom of Prussia and hundreds of German States gangsta! Before being defeated by one of history's greatest generals.
defeats the French, unites into a new empire
Get a colonial empire
Fights 80% of the world alone and almost won..
Is treated badly
Comeback as Villian, fights the whole world and only lost because of own mistakes..
Gets divided again
Reunites again and is not allowed to be strong again.
Also a few German inventions:
- Incandescent lamps (Heinrich Göbel 1854)

- Spark plug (Robert Bosch 1902)
- Thermos flask (Reinhold Burger 1903)
- the toothpaste (Ottomar Heinsius von Mayenburg)
- The coffee filter (Melitta Bentz)
- Cassette recorder (Fritz Pfleumer 1928)
- Teabag (Adolf Rambold 1929)

- First rocket (in general, Hans von Ohain)
- The helicopter (Heinrich Focke 1936)
- The first car (Carl Benz - With honorary Schnauzer - 1886)

- First 3D film (during the Third Reich)
- Fanta (Yes THAT Fanta.. Also during the Nazi era)
- The typewriter (Peter Mitterhofer - 1869)
- NASA (actually the US buyed thousands of German engineers to build NASA because they can't do it themselves)
- The first letterpress Mashine (Which was probably the best invention of all time because now they could start printing books, Johannes Gutenberg - 1440)
- Motorcycle (Gottlieb Daimler 1885)
- Birth control pill (Schering AG 1961)
- the trigger of the gold rush (Johann August Sutter was a Swiss but actually German since he was born in Germany, but Swiss and German are one blood anyway, Who triggered the gold rush in America. Not an inventor but cool fact - 1848)
Well, as you saw, the Germans changed the world with their inventions many times. Where we would be today without the German art of thinking.. And Craftsmanship.
Germany the land of poets and thinkers - that's how it was known
The problem is that many Germans are not proud of their country and blood because they were brought up that way. Because if you say anything to that effect, you will be called a Nazi. The problem is that many people don't have the right deep historical knowledge that people need to understand the world and and that only Hitler himself and his party were Nazis. There was a big difference between Nazi, German and Wehrmacht soldier. There is no such thing as black and white.. People always wonder how could the Germans follow the Austrian Painter.. Well most Germans followed Hitler because of the crisis. Germans were so depressed that it is unimaginable for us. They were seen as evil around the world as they were blamed for everything in World War I. And when you have 3 kids at home, no job, money is worthless and no food and water you will follow anyone who promises you to fix it. Because that's what the Nazis did in the beginning - they fixed the crisis and gave the Germans hope again.. Or better: They gave the German people a scapegoat to blame. And remember that antisemitism was normal in Europe for hundreds of years. Many people didn't liked the jews because they were often these rich trading people. No German at the time could have known that Hitler was so crazy.
It's not as easy as we always think. Even in the Wehrmacht, only a few liked the Nazis. They were German soldiers. the general German soldier, like my grandfather, had nothing to do with the Nazis and the Holocaust. And if we are honest: what kind of "peace" could the general German soldier expect? What could have they expect after all the Nazi crimes and everyone thought that all Germans were evil Nazis. Most soldiers fought for their lives and German people against a planet. If even many of Hitler's own generals like Rommel (legend) or Stauffenberg knew that he was not quite right in the head.. Then the normal soldier knew that even more. Many Germans were manipulated by the ultimate propaganda of the Nazis and could do nothing about it. They thought to the last second that they were winning because of the propaganda. You can imagine the Nazis like a natural dark Parasite Rising from the suffering of the Germans. And the 'Problem' is that Germans are People who have a very special work and perfectionism mentality. That's not a weak enemy.. Look what the german army achieved in ww2.. Because of their unbreakable pride. Calling all German soldiers Nazis is like calling all American soldiers democrats because they were in power.
We should be prouder of ourselves, after all, Germany has repeatedly fought against the entire world, one time under a bad regime. We made this modern world possible and maintain a reputation for perfection and quality. The hard-working German. Or rather, we once had this reputation. Today there is no longer a country of poets and thinkers. We are still occupied by the USA.. Because we are the most important point in Europe. And people are manipulated and have no prospects.. If you're proud of your history.. You will be called a Nazi.
What I also find very interesting is that the Germanic people spread very far and are therefore the ancestors of many other people. Therefore, historians are not entirely sure how German the Germanic peoples were, but since they were the first to speak German and also created English, they were already German. In addition, the Germans were also the ancestors of the Vikings means Germanic mythology is almost identical to Norse mythology. Actually the same.
I would be in favor of not only teaching the Americans that Germany is the bad guy and that they really deal with it.
Most of the settlers who came to America at that time were German. Over 40 million. That's why you have so many German names. That's why the Americans love German culture and are surrounded by it, but don't want to admit it. Every "American" fairy tale was recorded and reinvented by the Brothers Grimm, they were German..
Thanks for listening 🎉
Please do " Mein Teil ,live in Paris "
Next up Angst or something different like Zig Zag ❤️🔥
Asking questions is a sign you are intelligent. ❤
mon avis de france, on ne voit pas dans la version, la personnage noire embrassé la tete coupée du depart qui etait romaine. les germains ont repoussés les romains, et ce clip montre la sale histoire de l'allemagne qui justement n'a pas embrassée rome et montre a quel point a un moment de l'histoire l'ideologie allemande a ete differente du reste de l'europe (my opinion of France, we do not see in the version, the black character kissed the severed head of the departure which was Roman. the germans repelled the romans, and this clip shows the dirty history of germany which precisely did not embrace rome and shows how at one point in history the german ideology was different from the rest of the Europe)
👍❤
German historical eras yes...

Look, people, you certainly get high on the sound that Rammstein does, but you at least delve a little deeper into what the video is about... This is a video of Germans with pain in their souls about their country, and how many nasty things their rulers did. If you want to delve into the meaning of this clip, I advise you to see an excellent analysis of a Russian writer who perfectly understands the whole story, and lives in a former German city that has become Russian. Guess what city I am talking about, if you taught history at least a little. Here is the analisys: ua-cam.com/video/R7Jn6_Maono/v-deo.html , and don't forget to turn on the english subtitles. Good luck, man :)
show your history I cant say what I feel but show your rl history and ok to this video I have no idea what they want to say to me and I am german deutschland means germany what ever land you came from you maybe have a other way of saying what you r land is called
Here you watched the clip and think: "probably a black girl is Germany"... They wrote it to you in the credits and none of you even saw it... Well, I think you need to change the approach to reactions to such deep videos. People tried and wanted to convey a lot to you. But not this time :-))) So... You guys better learn history. The world does not revolve around the United States with its "democracy." And then somehow you look a little bit foolish. Greetings from Russia ;-)
Stopping the video every 10 seconds is annoying and destroys the atmosphere.
😬
sorryyyyyyyy😭😭
To much paused....bad ...
i just cant take in all of that greatness at once. i need a little bit of break to catch my breath lol
I like this music so much but I wont watch anything from Rammstein directly because Till Lindemann is a r-ist!
What are you talking about? Did you miss the news that all accusations were dropped a few weeks ago? All of them?? Please don’t spread any false information.
Daumen runter für diese Reaction 👎
His name - Till lindeRRRman 😂😂😂
you should translate the song lyrics in your language that helps a bit to understand, the black woman symbolizes Germania en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germania_(personification)
3 little girls watching at germany...
Objectively speaking, the lyrics of some of the song lines are provocative, but the video nevertheless reenacts important milestones in German history. In quick succession, you can see band members of Rammstein, together with some actors, in a dark time travel between the past and today. The Middle Ages, Roman times, 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 throughout the video is a woman who appears in each of the different eras as personified Germany. Sometimes as a victim, other times as a perpetrator.
