Before we measured, sources said: Drop C, with no pitch given (community).
The Drop C album: every song but Moskau is tabbed in Drop C, and TuneLit's semitone check from the audio hears C as the lowest open string on nine of them. The record is at concert pitch (about +1 ¢), with Amerika about 10 ¢ and Stein um Stein about 15 ¢ sharp.

Every song, ready to tune
Tune opens the tuner in that song's tuning, pitch included. Play along opens the song player set to that tuning, so the track plays in yours. What the labels mean
-
1. Reise, Reise
Drop CMeasured
Notes
Drop C. The low notes lean on C♯, a fret above the open string, so TuneLit's semitone check from the audio is unsure here.
-
2. Mein Teil
Drop CMeasured
Notes
Drop C. The low notes sit mostly on D, two frets above the open C, but the low C sounds too and TuneLit's semitone check from the audio agrees.

Notes
Drop C about 10 ¢ sharp (A ≈ 442.5).
Tabbed in Drop C on Songsterr and Ultimate Guitar, like the rest of the album.

7. Moskau
Different tuning
Drop DMeasured
Notes
How to get there from E Standard: String 6 down a whole step (E → D); the other strings stay.
The one song on the album tabbed in Drop D (Ultimate Guitar also has it in E Standard and Drop C). The open D is rare on the record and E is the note heard most, so TuneLit's semitone check from the audio is unsure.
Songsterr tabs it in Drop D, the one song of the album that is not in Drop C; Ultimate Guitar has it in Drop D, E Standard and Drop C.

Questions
What tuning is Reise, Reise in?
Rammstein recorded Reise, Reise (2004) in Drop C at concert pitch (A 440), measured by TuneLit on the CD. Amerika uses Drop C +10 ¢; Moskau uses Drop D; Stein um Stein uses Drop C +15 ¢.
Why does Reise, Reise sound out of tune with my guitar?
Amerika sits about 10 cents sharp (A ≈ 443), so a guitar tuned to A 440 clashes with it. The Tune buttons on this page set the tuner's reference to match the record, song by song, so you only tune the strings.
