Xmal Deutschland, often written as X-Mal Deutschland, was an alternative goth band from Hamburg, Germany. Founded in 1980 with a completely female line-up, they became successful in their field outside their native country, especially in the UK, where they were part of the Neue Deutsche Welle (German New Wave) music scene. The group wrote and sang in the German language and had different line ups over the period. The group finally split in 1990.
