The song is inspired by the infamous case of Armin Meiwes and Bernd Jürgen Armando Brandes. In March 2001, in Rotenburg, Hessen, Germany, the two men in their 40s met each other, cut off Brandes' penis and Bernd was forced to eat it. Afterwards, Meiwes killed Brandes--apparently with his consent--and ate his remains. As a result, Meiwes was sentenced to life in jail for murder. A prominent phrase in the song is "Denn du bist was du isst" ("Because you are what you eat").

According to Rammstein's bassist Oliver "Ollie" Riedel, the song came about after "one of our members brought a newspaper to rehearsal and it had a story about the cannibal guy in it. We were fascinated, shocked and amused at the same time." [1] Vocalist Till Lindemann comments that "It's so sick that it becomes fascinating and there just has to be a song about it."

At the beginning of the song, the phrase „Suche gut gebauten 18-30 jährigen zum Schlachten“ - Der Metzgermeister (Which translates to "Looking for a well built 18 to 30 year old to be slaughtered - The Master Butcher") is spoken. This is a quote taken from Armin Meiwes. This quote is only heard on the single version of the song.

Rammstein was nominated for "Mein Teil" in the category of "Best Metal Performance" in the 48th Annual Grammy Awards, which was held on February 8 in Los Angeles.
Live Performance This song is one of the most spectacular live performances of the 2004-2005 Reise, Reise tour. From the central backstage access, Till Lindemann appears dressed as a blood-stained chef holding a microphone with a large butcher's knife attached to the end. He pulls out a giant cooking pot with a portable keyboard attached to one side. Keyboardist Christian "Flake" Lorenz appears in the pot, with metal cylinders attached to his arms and legs, and plays the keyboard during the song. After the second chorus, Till takes a flamethrower and roasts the bottom of the pot, "cooking" Flake. Flake escapes from the pot and starts running around the stage with flames erupting from his arms and legs, while chased by a knife-wielding Till. Christian Flake Lorenz [pronounced Lor-ents] (b. ...
When asked about what it is like to perform this, Flake comments: "It's fine. It is only pain. Although you can't breathe in because then you will inhale the flames and die." [3]
Music video
Still image from the video (Till Lindemann). The controversy over Mein Teil prompted MTV Germany to restrict the airing of the music video to after 11pm. It shows Till eating and copulating with an angel; Flake performing ballet; Paul shaking violently and wandering around the set in a crazed state; Richard wrestling his twin, Oliver writhing on the floor in a spasm; the whole band fighting in a mudpit; and five of the band members crawling out of a Berlin U-Bahn (subway) station while held on leashes carried by "Frau" Christoph Schneider, who is dressed as a woman.
