In the summer of 2023, hardly any other topic caused as much discussion as this one: Rammstein singer Till Lindemann is allegedly responsible for sexual assaults. Several women had reported to NDR and the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” newspaper about alleged transgressions. There was talk of a kind of organized recruitment system for sexual acts with the Rammstein frontman. However, the public prosecutor's office dropped its investigation after a short time.

How did the sexist recruitment system of mostly young women around the so-called “Row Zero” for Till Lindemann work? Was it simply about sex, drugs and rock'n'roll or did the musician not accept boundaries?
