Music video

The official music video for Süchtig was filmed by Hagen Decker (director) and Tanja Häring (camera) - like the video for the previous single Always when it gets dark . The shooting took place in April 2011 in Berlin. The main part of the video shows Eva Briegel dancing in a disco. Designing the video as a dance video was based on Briegel's own idea; according to her own statement, it was her “first public dance ever” . These scenes were filmed at Club LUX on Schlesische Strasse in Berlin-Kreuzberg . Further scenes were created in a car on the Berlin subway and in the pedestrian underpass at the ICC . The other band members can be seen in the background in the scenes of the video as if by chance.
