Great song and performance!
For those who are interested, the title is the German word for Walpurgis Night (sometimes also called Witches Night), a festivity taking place in the night between April 30th and May 1st. Here in Berlin, there was a period (ca. late 90s till early 2000s) were it was celebrated with spontaneous (i.e. illegal) parties and bonfires in the public parks, which were a sort of prelude to the political demonstrations and the small riots on May Day. However, from talking to the band at Surfer Joe Summer Fest 2023 I know that this is NOT the connotation they had in mind for the song.
