Before we measured, sources said: Drop D, with no pitch given (community).
Mostly Drop D, with Zick Zack in Drop C and the band's lowest songs, Meine Tränen, Angst and Dicke Titten, in Drop B. The record measures right on A 440 with almost no spread between songs, and TuneLit's semitone check from the audio agrees with the tabs on every song.

Drop BMeasured
Notes
How to get there from the album's Drop D: Every string down 3 half steps.
String 6 sits 5 half steps below its standard E2. On a normal set (.046) it keeps only about 55 % of its usual tension and feels loose. For the usual feel use about a .061 string, or a baritone guitar.
Drop B, two and a half steps below standard on String 6.
Both guitars are tabbed in Drop B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯) on Songsterr. TuneLit's semitone check from the audio agrees.
