Herzwerk II (English: "Heart-work II") is the fourth full album from the German band Megaherz. It is the last album to feature singer Alexx Wesselsky before he left with Noel Pix to form Eisbrecher. The final track Es Brennt ("It Burns"), which talks about the differences between Eastern and Western Germany, was included on the Digi-pack version of the disc. The album was re-released in America in 2008 with Es Brennt included.
