In early 2022, a unique collaboration was sought by the German rock band Rammstein's record company with a language instructor from the Ahjola Community College in Tampere, Finland. They proposed that Anneli Niemistö, the German course teacher, use material from their forthcoming album, 'Zeit', as part of a new online course focused on learning German through Rammstein's music. This unexpected request highlights the growing intersection between popular culture and language education.

Anneli Niemistö, initially taken aback by the contact from an international rock group, embraced the idea enthusiastically. She had previously taught a version of the course without the new album's content and believed that integrating Rammstein's music would provide fresh and engaging material for her students. However, due to the nature of the community college course being open to everyone and the prohibition against commercial partnerships, formal collaboration with the record label could not be established, although the interest itself shows the program's visibility.

The course's success led to the establishment of an additional group, reflecting its popularity. Niemistö emphasized the significance of the project by stating that the attention from a major record label speaks volumes about the course's appeal and relevance in contemporary language learning environments. The use of music, especially from a band as influential as Rammstein, exemplifies how cultural elements can significantly enhance educational experiences.
