Von hier an blind (German for From here on blind) is the second album by Wir sind Helden, released on 4 April 2005 in Germany. The album entered the German top 100 album charts at #1 on 18 April and remained in the top 10 for twenty weeks. It also reached #1 in Austria, and #5 in Switzerland. The album also reached #16 on the iTunes' album charts.
Four singles have been released off the album: "Gekommen um zu bleiben" (28 February 2005), "Nur ein Wort" (17 May 2005), "Von hier an blind" (26 September 2005) and "Wenn es passiert" (13 January 2006).

Following the album's success in Germany and Austria, Wir sind Helden recorded several songs from the album in English, French and Japanese, for possible releases in non-German-speaking countries.
