Das große Leben (The great life) is the tenth studio album by German pop duo Rosenstolz, released in 2006 by Island Records.

[1][2] In an interview at the time of the album's release, Plate revealed that the album was Rosenstolz's most private to date: "Denn im vergangenen Jahr konnten wir zu uns selbst zurückfinden und dann mit den neuen Liedern das erste Mal formulieren, was so wichtig ist und doch so schwer fällt – zu sagen: ich liebe mich selbst.

[1][4] In a further interview, AnNa R. compared Herz (2004), the band's previous studio album, with Das große Leben, declaring that the former was more upbeat, whereas the latter was more melancholic, but hopeful.

[9][10] "Aus Liebe wollt ich alles wissen" was a charity song to raise money for the Deutsche AIDS-Stiftung (German AIDS foundation).

[13] Following the release of Das große Leben, Rosenstolz went on a concert tour that took place in over 30 venues in Germany, Austria and Switzerland between April and September 2006.

[16] A positive review of Das große Leben was given by Harald Peters of German national daily newspaper Die Welt, who commented that the album contained exclusively mid-tempo piano-saturated guitar pop, lacking the aspects of Rosenstolz's sound that had previously often made the band's music unbearable.
