With his "Germany Trilogy", consisting of "100 Years of Adolf Hitler – The Last Hour in the Führerbunker", "The German Chainsaw Massacre – The First Hour of the Reunification" and "Terror 2000 – Germany out of Control", Schlingensief came to prominence. Since then he shaped the cultural and political discourse in Germany for more than two decades and established himself as one of the country's most important and versatile artists. The "Germany Trilogy" deals with three turning points in 20th-century German history: the first movie "Hundert Jahre Adolf Hitler" ("A Hundred Years of Adolf Hitler", 1989) covers the last hours of Adolf Hitler, the second "The German Chainsaw Massacre" (1990), depicts the German reunification of 1990 and shows a group of East Germans who cross the border to visit West Germany and get slaughtered by a psychopathic West German family with chainsaws, and the third "Terror 2000" (1992) focuses on xenophobic violence after the reunification process.
