See the video: “One can only determine guilt when there is evidence” – Rammstein fans on allegations against Lindemann.
STORY: First Germany concerts of the 2023 Europa Stadium tour by the rock band Rammstein. The band is currently facing serious allegations. Demands for concert cancellations have already been made. Several women accuse Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann of sexual violence, and young women are said to have been specifically recruited for sexual acts with him at concerts. Here are the opinions of some concert visitors before the start of the show on Wednesday in Munich: “I think that this is a very delicate and, above all, very serious topic, which you have to be very careful with. I mean, there are a lot of allegations in the Raum. Whether true or not, I don’t want to judge that at all. I think Till has the right to refuse to say anything about it. But I also think the victims have exactly the right to say something about it and themselves to make it loud. Especially if all of this is true, that you help them, also in the future, that you help women there.” “As far as I know, this is my personal opinion, nothing has been proven yet. And it’s all a matter of interpretation, I’ll say it now. Well, I don’t want to judge the women or prefer the band in any way or anything. It’s real “Yes, everyone is allowed to form their own opinion about it. Only when there is evidence can one establish guilt. That’s my opinion now.” The band itself has so far been rather cautious on their website and emphasized that they take the allegations “extremely seriously”. The city of Munich initially reacted in this way: David Süss, Die Grünen, Stadtrat München “As a city, we made sure that the things that were accused, that we also read in the newspaper, that in Munich they were dealt with in this way And we also have a clear commitment from the local promoter and now also from the band that there will be no ‘Row Zero’, that there will be no after-show parties and that we will definitely, say I’ll have ‘Security Space’, a safe tent, an awareness team on site for women who think they are in a difficult situation.” It will be similar in mid-July in Berlin. Because sports senator Iris Spranger, SPD, announced on Wednesday via social media that the after-show parties in the Olympic Stadium will be prohibited at the three concerts by the Rammstein band.
