"Grönland" (German for Greenland) refers both to the country, the label's founder, Herbert Grönemeyer and the eponymous piece on his 1993 album Chaos.

The label was founded by German actor and singer Herbert Grönemeyer in connection with an eight-CD box set called Pop 2000.

The CD box set[1] and its companion TV series[2] were designed to document music culture in Germany over the course of the 20th century and featured artists such as Neu!, Faust, Kraftwerk, The Notwist, DAF, and Mouse on Mars.

[3] Grönland only signs a maximum of six to eight bands and projects per year.
