Misc. Comments

The music was written by Haydn in 1797 for the anthem of Emperor Francis II of the Holy Roman Empire, Gott erhalte Franz, den Kaiser. The same year, Haydn used it for the 2nd movement of his String Quartet No.62 in C major, Op.76 No.3 (which is also known as Kaiserquartett).

Lyrics

1. Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt,
Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
Brüderlich zusammenhält,
Von der Maas bis an die Memel,
Von der Etsch bis an den Belt.
/: Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt! :/

2. Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue,
Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang
Sollen in der Welt behalten
Ihren alten schönen Klang,
Uns zu edler Tat begeistern
Unser ganzes Leben lang.
/: Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue,
Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang! :/

3. Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Für das deutsche Vaterland:
Danach lasst uns alle streben
Brüderlich mit Herz und Hand!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Sind des Glückes Unterpfand.
/: Blüh im Glanze dieses Glückes,
Blühe, deutsches Vaterland! :/

(Only the third verse is Germany's National Anthem. / Nur die dritte Strophe ist die Deutsche Nationalhymne.)

• Wikipedia. Note: written when Germany geographically was comprised of various principalities that were politically later unified by Bismarck, not the political unit it is today, or even the bifurcated East/West Germany of the 1945-1990-or-so period. As I understand it however Fallersleben believed that German language was more important than local geography, and wished to speak in his poem to others who believed likewise, to those among them who also believed in one Germany containing the fatherland of German speakers (I think ...) instead of being divided down the line into the Principalities, Duchies, ... of Saxony, Thuringia, Bavaria, etc. Expansionism outside that region was not, to mirror Alan Walker's discussion of this subject in his biography of Franz Liszt, not, I think, in Fallersleben's thoughts- to make a guess, of course. - Schissel
