Ruhe (English: Silence or peace) is the third single from the 1999 Schiller debut album Zeitgeist with vocals by an unknown woman and an unknown man and spoken word passages by German actor and voice actor Benjamin Völz (* 13. Mai 1960), who became famous in the German-speaking countries as the voice of FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder from the American television series The X-Files. The song is titled internationally as "Peace". The trance music single was officially released on 29 November 1999 in Germany and was peaking at number 24 on German Singles Chart in 1999 and at number 69 in Switzerland. The cover art work shows a graphic of an empty box. The album version (Langspiel-Fassung) and the single and TV version (Fernseh-Fassung) of Ruhe are unlike versions with completely different music. Only the spoken words are the same. The spoken words of the song are including the poem "Über die Einsamkeit" by Swiss philosophical writer Johann Georg Zimmermann (1728-1795). The poem is: Ruhe, das höchste Glück auf Erden, kommt sehr oft nur durch Einsamkeit in das Herz.
