The band found it difficult to convince its music company Metronome to release the song because of the prominent use of the term "Arschloch" (arsehole).

Die Ärzte supported the action by donating all profits from the sales of the song and performing for the refugee advocacy organization Pro Asyl.

The weapon-wielding men find two old women and a man (Rodrigo González) sitting inside the church as Farin and Bela B. rise from the coffins and address the fascists directly.

In the end of the song, the two children who had run in to find sanctuary in the church clean their faces, removing the make-up which had ringed their eyes.

German punk band Die Toten Hosen covered the song in 2012 on the second disc of their anniversary album Ballast der Republik.
