Völkerball (German for "Dodgeball", lit. "Peoples' ball") is the German NDH-metal band Rammstein's live album/DVD set. It was released on 17 November 2006 in Europe, 19 December 2006 in Canada and on 18 September 2007 in the U.S. The album was advertised within media by the Ich will live video featured on the DVD and Mann gegen Mann single.
The standard edition-packaging comes in both CD-sized and DVD-sized formats. The special edition features two DVDs and one CD. The extra DVD comes with the documentary 'Anakonda Im Netz' and the 'Making Of Reise, Reise album'. The limited edition has two DVDs, two CDs and a photobook. The logo is derived from that of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.
Völkerball is the German name for the game of dodge ball. Literally it means Peoples' Ball. One could also think that the combination of the word Ball, being a dancing event like English ball or prom, in connection with Peoples and relating to the musical act Rammstein, means Dancing/Musical event of (all) people.
Völkerball was nominated for Echo Awards 2007 in the Best DVD category, which was won by Pink Floyd's Pulse.
