Krebskolonie is the second studio album by the gothic/death metal/black metal band Eisregen. It was released on 29 November 1998 through record label Last Episode.^[1]

In August 2003, the album was added to the List of Media Harmful to Young People by the German Federal Review Board for Media Harmful to Minors. The album was added to the Liste B because the review committee saw a strong risk to young people and a violation of § 131 StGB (depiction of violence). The justification referred to tracks 2, 4, 7 and 9.^[2] This means that the album may no longer be distributed and the songs may no longer be played live until a court decision has been made.

In December 2023, the band had asked for a re-examination, it was decided that the album would remain on the List of Media Harmful to Young People because of track 9. In the new justification, the suspicion of strong risk to young people or a violation of § 131 StGB (depiction of violence) is no longer mentioned.^[3]
