On June 11, 2010, a live album was released with the same name, which contains a boxset with a CD and the DVD featuring the show. A Limited Delux Edition contains four discs while the Special Edition contains two discs.
In Germany, it remained at No. 1 for 23 non-consecutive weeks, to date the longest stay of any album in the 21st century and the first album by a German artist to do so.
Große Freiheit is the second most downloaded album of all time in Germany behind Adele's 21, with digital sales between 100,000 and 140,000.
Spending 52 weeks in the German top ten, the album is the 17th album to spend a year or longer there and the first to do so since Ich + Ich's Vom selben Stern, which was released in July 2007. Große Freiheit left the top 5 of the German Albums Chart for the first time the week it achieved this feat.
This album was re-released on November 19, 2010, with all of the standard 14 tracks from Große Freiheit, excluding the two bonus songs. A second disc contains "Winterland" and its remixes. There is a new cover to reflect the title.
