Before we measured, sources said: Drop C, with no pitch given (community).
Built partly from songs written for Reise, Reise, and in the same Drop C. The duet Stirb nicht vor mir is in E Standard and Ein Lied in Drop D. The album is at concert pitch (about +2 ¢), but four songs sit away from it: Stirb nicht vor mir and Hilf mir flat, Ein Lied and Te quiero puta! sharp.

Different tuning
E Standard −8 ¢Measured
Notes
How to get there from the album's Drop C: String 6 up 4 half steps (C → E), String 5 up a whole step (G → A), String 4 up a whole step (C → D), String 3 up a whole step (F → G), String 2 up a whole step (A → B), String 1 up a whole step (D → E).
The duet with Sharleen Spiteri, in E Standard about 8 ¢ flat (A ≈ 437.9).
Both guitars are tabbed in E Standard on Songsterr. TuneLit's semitone check from the audio agrees.

7. Zerstören
Drop CMeasured
Notes
Drop C. The note heard most is C♯, a fret up, but TuneLit's semitone check from the audio still confirms C.
-
8. Hilf mir
Different pitch
Drop C −15 ¢Measured
Notes
Drop C about 15 ¢ flat (A ≈ 436.3) in the sections TuneLit measured; other parts sit closer to A 440. The audio check prefers a low B, which most likely comes from the bass or keyboards; no tab points to B, so the song stays in Drop C.
Tabbed in Drop C on Songsterr, like most of the album.
-
9. Te quiero puta!
Different pitch
Drop C +23 ¢Measured
Notes
Drop C about 23 ¢ sharp (A ≈ 445.8), the sharpest Rammstein song we measured; the pitch varies between sections, so fine-tune by ear if needed.
Tabbed in Drop C on Songsterr, like most of the album.

11. Ein Lied

Notes
How to get there from E Standard: String 6 down a whole step (E → D); the other strings stay.
The closer is in Drop D, about 15 ¢ sharp (A ≈ 443.8).
Both guitars are tabbed in Drop D on Songsterr. TuneLit's semitone check from the audio agrees.

Questions
What tuning is Rosenrot in?
Rammstein recorded Rosenrot (2005) in Drop C at concert pitch (A 440), measured by TuneLit on the CD. 4 songs use other tunings or pitches, listed song by song on this page.
Why does Rosenrot sound out of tune with my guitar?
Hilf mir sits about 15 cents flat (A ≈ 436), 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.
