Abenteuer (English: "Adventure") is the thirteenth studio album by German schlager singer Andrea Berg. It was released on 30 September 2011 in Germany and soon after in Austria and Switzerland. It marks Berg's second collaboration with Dieter Bohlen.

Background

Like its predecessor Schwerelos (2010), Abenteuer was produced by Dieter Bohlen. The songs were composed by Bohlen, who provided Berg with the melodies for her to write lyrics. According to Berg, Abenteuer is the first album for which she wrote all the lyrics alone.^[1] In the booklet, the singer referred to the development phase of the album as a time "at which life was like shoes [made] of lead" and cites her father's death of cancer in April 2011 as one of the reasons.^[2] The song "Seelenverwandt" is dedicated to him.^[1] The album title, the German word for "adventure", represents Berg's wish to express that every day is a new chance and a first time.
