Hvad Rammstein selv har at sige omkring det:
"The name came from the big catastrophe that happened in Ramstein, which is
a place in Germany, where the American airforce had a flight show. They
crashed and over 80 people got hurt and killed. So the first song, actually,
was about that accident. And then there was always like a cause when they'd
say: "Ramstein, Ramstein!" So it came into our head and it stayed there. We
just changed the spelling slightly because Ramstein is actually spelt with
one "m". It also became somewhat of a provocation, by just repeating it, it
kind of became like a symbol for us, an anthem."
