Münchener Freiheit (also known simply as Freiheit and by other titles) is a German pop and rock band that, as of 2005, has released 15 albums. Of those, six have gone gold, and they've also sold over five million records in Europe. They're named after a square in the city of Munich, with the name translating as "Munich Liberty".

Many of those singles were emotional love songs released in the 80s. They are best known in the English-speaking world for the single (in English) "Keeping The Dream Alive". This song became a Top 15 hit in the United Kingdom when released, making Münchener Freiheit (or Freiheit) a 'one hit wonder' there. In the United States, the song failed to chart when originally released.
