Große Freiheit (album)
Große Freiheit is the seventh studio album by the German band Unheilig. It was released on 19 February 2010 and recorded in 2009. The album blends styles from Neue Deutsche Härte, pop rock, alternative rock, gothic rock and synthpop. It features German and English lyrics and was released by Vertigo (Universal). The producer is Der Graf.
The title refers to Große Freiheit, a street in Hamburg’s St. Pauli district near the Reeperbahn.
The standard album has 14 tracks. There are several editions, including a Fanbox limited to 5,000 copies, a Limited Deluxe Edition with four discs, and a Special Edition with two discs. A Winter edition was released later, adding new material and remixes.
Singles from the album include Geboren um zu leben (29 January 2010), Für immer (21 May 2010), and Unter deiner Flagge (24 September 2010). The Winter edition features the single "Winter" (19 November 2010).
A live album titled Große Freiheit was released on 11 June 2010, containing a CD and a DVD of the concert.
The album achieved major success in Germany, staying at No. 1 for 23 non-consecutive weeks—the longest run for a 21st‑century German-language album. It became one of the most downloaded German albums, with digital sales estimated between 100,000 and 140,000, and spent 52 weeks in the German top ten.
In November 2010, a re-release of the standard album appeared, keeping the 14 tracks but excluding two bonus songs. A second disc added Winterland and its remixes, and the cover was updated.
