René is 20 years old and shares her personal experience at a Rammstein aftershow party in 2024 – a night that left a lasting impression.
It all started with a message she sent to Alena Makeeva via Instagram. René openly asked if she could attend a Rammstein concert, be added to the guest list – and whether there would be an aftershow party. She received an invitation and became part of a special encounter that took place after the public scandal.
The party itself took place in a hotel room – most likely due to increased privacy concerns. The well-known leather couches that are often mentioned were simply part of the hotel’s interior. When Till Lindemann joined the group, he introduced himself and shook everyone’s hand. At first, the mood was a bit tense – nobody really knew how to behave. Till also appeared somewhat reserved.
René had brought three friends and another girl from the concert. To lighten the atmosphere, she suggested singing karaoke – and it worked. The vibe quickly became relaxed and fun. They listened to music, danced, and played a game where a phone was passed around in a circle.
Till remained respectful at all times. He never approached any of the women in a pushy or inappropriate way – quite the opposite. According to René, many women were trying to get close to him or made him suggestive offers. But he never accepted. He stayed with the group the whole time and was never alone with any woman in a separate room or anything of the sort.
One moment particularly stood out to René: One of the girls she brought had openly said before the concert that she had taken drugs – a mix of amphetamines and cocaine. On the way to the hotel, her condition was already deteriorating. When she drank alcohol at the party, things got worse. Till noticed immediately, asked her to drink water, and asked if she was okay – and offered to call her an Uber. When she didn’t feel better, he personally ordered the Uber and made sure she got home safely.
René herself didn’t drink any alcohol that evening because she was driving – and that was fully accepted and respected. No one asked for an explanation. She drank a cola from a glass bottle that she opened herself – just like everyone else.
Importantly: Contrary to certain reports, they were not asked to hand over their phones. Guests were allowed to keep and use their phones, and even played music via Bluetooth. René took a photo of the hotel room, and no one minded.
She also speaks very positively about Alena Makeeva, describing her as a kind and caring woman. René has been in contact with her for over a year now:
“She keeps making my dreams come true.”
Since she was 16, René had dreamed of such an experience – and Alena made it possible.
As for Till Lindemann, she describes him as a calm, respectful and kind person – very different from his stage persona. She also met him during a music video shoot and at another concert, always feeling welcome and well cared for. He was always attentive and made sure people around him felt comfortable and safe.
René concludes with a message to other young women who might be invited:
“Always trust your gut. If you’re unsure, don’t go. And if you do go and feel uncomfortable, you can always leave. No one is forced to do anything. I had doubts too, but I wanted to form my own opinion – and I’m thankful I did.”
She makes it clear that she’s not dismissing anyone else’s experience – but she wants to share her own perspective:
“I only had good experiences. Thanks to Till and Alena, I got to live my dream – and I’ll always be grateful for that.”
