Von hier an blind (German for From here on blind) is the second album by Wir sind Helden, released on April 4, 2005 in Germany. The album entered the German top 100 album charts at #1 on 18 April and remained in the top 10 for twenty weeks. It also reached #1 in Austria, and #5 in Switzerland. The album also reached #16 on the U.S. iTunes' album charts.[citation needed]

Four singles have been released off the album: "Gekommen um zu bleiben" (We've come to stay - released on 28 February 2005), "Nur ein Wort" (Just one word - released on 17 May 2005), "Von hier an blind" (From here on blind - released on 26 September 2005) and "Wenn es passiert" (When it happens - released 13 January 2006).

The CD's enhanced CD section features a couple of short videos from the production of the album.

Following the album's success in Germany and Austria, Wir sind Helden recorded several songs from the album in English, French and Japanese, for possible releases in non-German-speaking countries.[1] "Sā Itte Miyō", a Japanese version of "Von hier an blind", was released as a B-side on the "Von hier an blind" single.
