Rammstein - Row Zero

Overview

In the summer of 2023, hardly any other topic caused as much discussion as this one: Rammstein singer Till Lindemann is allegedly responsible for sexual assaults. Several women had reported to NDR and the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” newspaper about alleged transgressions. There was talk of a kind of organized recruitment system for sexual acts with the Rammstein frontman. However, the public prosecutor's office dropped its investigation after a short time. For many fans, this is akin to an acquittal. “Panorama” accompanied some of the women for several months and researched the Rammstein band's environment. How did the sexist recruitment system of mostly young women around the so-called “Row Zero” for Till Lindemann work? Was it simply about sex, drugs and rock'n'roll or did the musician not accept boundaries?
