Am Samstagabend fand das erste Konzert von Rammstein im Olympiastadion statt, begleitet von viel Aufregung. Till Lindemann, der Frontsänger der Band, überraschte die Zuschauer mit einer veränderten Liedzeile. Das Thermometer zeigte über 30 Grad Celsius, als die Dämmerung über dem Berliner Olympiastadion einsetzte. Die Stimmung war bereits vor dem Auftritt der Band aufgeheizt. Till Lindemann, der Frontsänger, streckte seine Hand aus, um eine direkte Verbindung zu den Fans herzustellen. Mit einem lauten Bass begann der Song „Angst“. In diesem Song fragte Lindemann: „Wer hat Angst vorm schwarzen Mann?“ Doch dann änderte er plötzlich den Text und sagte: „Der Rücken nass, …

The first concert of Rammstein took place on Saturday evening in the Olympic Stadium, accompanied by a lot of excitement. Till Lindemann, the band's front singer, surprised the spectators with a changed song line.

The thermometer showed over 30 degrees Celsius when dusk used the Berlin Olympic Stadium. The mood was heated up before the band appeared. Till Lindemann, the front singer, stretched out his hand to establish a direct connection to the fans.

The song "Fear" began with a loud bass. In this song, Lindemann asked: "Who is afraid of the black man?" But then he suddenly changed the text and said: "The back wet, hands clammy. Everyone is afraid - of Lindemann." This changed song line can be understood as an allusion to the allegations against the 60-year-old singer. Several women claim to have been sexually abused by Lindemann. He is also accused of using K.-O. drops. Lindemann rejects these accusations about his lawyers as "without exception untrue". The presumption of innocence applies because it has not yet been legally convicted.

Despite the allegations against Lindemann, tens of thousands of people visited the concert in the Berlin Olympic Stadium. This led to protests of around 250 people who gathered a demonstration in front of the stadium. The "Lindemann system" was criticized and a participant described Lindemann as "fake". The demonstration was mostly peaceful, although the tensions between the two camps were felt. The organizers of the demonstration hoped to persuade Rammstein fans to think and to gain attention to those affected. But the campaign received little attention from the fans, since many of them said they did not know what really happened and why they should demonstrate against it.

The mood within the stadium was exuberant despite the allegations against Lindemann. Ballon hearts flew through the audience and expressions of solidarity with the band were shown on posters that were shown on the video wall. The audience applauded loudly. It seemed as if the allegations against Lindemann had welded the band and their fans even more closely together.

During the encore with the song "Engel", the band's appearance shifted to a small, increased stage in the middle of the stadium, far from the actual stage. The text "God knows, I don't want to be an angel" from the speakers, and suddenly the sky opened its locks and it started to rain heavily. This gave the concert a special atmosphere and intensified the energy of the fans.

Even if the allegations against Till Lindemann weigh heavily, the Rammstein concert in the Olympic Stadium has shown that the band still has a loyal fan base that is ready to enjoy and support their music despite the allegations. The presumption of innocence for Lindemann continues to apply because he has not yet been legally convicted and the allegations are rejected by him.
