"13" is the thirteenth album by Die Ärzte, counting "Debil" the first, released on May 25, 1998. It's their most successful album, which is ironic, because many consider "13" to be an unlucky number; also, the 13th track, "Männer sind Schweine", is their most successful single.

The CD version of the album features a hidden track in the pregap of the first song. This technique has been later used frequently - on "Geräusch", "Jazz ist anders", Farin Urlaub's "Am Ende der Sonne" and Bela B.'s "Bingo". On vinyl versions of "Jazz ist anders" and "Am Ende der Sonne" though, the hidden tracks aren't lost, but put after the last track.

The album features a large amount of movie and TV samples. Samples are used on tracks 1, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 13, 16 and on the hidden track.

"Nie wieder Krieg, nie mehr Las Vegas!" also goes by the title "Hütchenspiel" ("Shell game"). "Nie gesagt" was initially titled "Du fehlst mir" (roughly "I miss you").
