Volksbeat is the thirteenth solo (and fifteenth overall) studio album by Nina Hagen, released on November 11, 2011 by Koch Universal.

We decorated with jumping fish and peace-doves and flowers like the lily of the valley, the rose of Sharon, the forget me not and lilac,” she explained.

[6] Volksbeat follows the Jesus-oriented theme of her previous album Personal Jesus as well as dealing with civil rights, anti-establishment, anti-war and anti-nuclear power icons and movements.

[7] Hagen explained the album was an attempt to bring relevance to "sing and shout for peace, for love and compassion, for freedom  against war and injustice, embracing our ancestors" through the songs of artists that fought for the same ideals.

"[5] The first track, "Bitten der Kinder & An meine Landsleute", is a cover of two songs by Bertolt Brecht and is exemplary of Hagen's message on the album to ask for truth and peace.

Hagen had previously collaborated with Adamski on her 1991 songs "Keep It Live" and "All 4 Franckie", released on Street, and on the 1992 single "Get Your Body".
