"Live aus Berlin" (German for "Live from Berlin" or "Live out of Berlin") is a recording of a concert by the German NDH-metal band Rammstein in 1998. It has been released in several formats:

* CD (15 tracks)
* 2 CD Limited Edition (18 tracks + multimedia content)
* Censored Video/DVD (Without "Bück dich" though accessible on DVD)
* Uncensored Video (With "Bück dich")

There is no uncensored DVD version of Live aus Berlin. However, the song "Bück dich" can be found on the Internet and on the Family Values tour '98 DVD.

The performance of "Bück dich" ("Bend down", "Bend over") is controversial. The portrayal of anal sex using a water-squirting dildo led to the video being given an 18 certificate in Europe. The act led to the lead-vocalist Till Lindemann and keyboardist Christian "Flake" Lorenz being arrested during the "Family Values Tour" in the U.S. in 1998.

Easter Eggs

*When accessing the number pad feature at the Menu of the DVD and entering '23' anywhere in the main menu, the music video Stripped will play. The song is a cover of the Depeche Mode song and is also featured as a bonus track on Rammstein's second album 'Sehnsucht'.
