Original cover

Endlich Urlaub! (also known as Endlich Urlaub) is the first solo album of the German singer Farin Urlaub (guitarist of Die Ärzte), released in 2001. It shows the typical humour and music style fans of Die Ärzte are used to but is also very diverse and seems even a bit experimental. The title translates to Vacation at last, or, seeing as this was his first solo effort, Urlaub at last.

The album originally had a cover with Farin walking away from a building that he supposedly set on fire. The idea was dropped with September 11 attacks in mind.
