  • This is really one of the most beautiful national anthems this world has ever seen... I love it!

  • I really want to visit Austria sometime... I just don't have enough funds at the moment, and school of course... then it's the army again... wow, when will I get time?! :(

  • Folks, never mind the FRAGIORGIO troll. He is a misled left wing lunatic who thinks he knows history. LOL.

  • Sich mit Tugenden zu schmücken, Achtet er der Sorgen werth, Nicht um Völker zu erdrücken Flammt in seiner Hand das Schwert: Sie zu segnen, zu beglücken, Ist der Preis, den er begehrt, |: Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser, Unsern guten Kaiser Franz! :| Er zerbrach der Knechtschaft Bande, Hob zur Freiheit uns empor! Früh' erleb' er deutscher Lande, Deutscher Völker höchsten Flor, Und vernehme noch am Rande Später Gruft der Enkel Chor: |: Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser, Unsern guten Kaiser Franz! :|
  • Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser, Unsern guten Kaiser Franz, Hoch als Herrscher, hoch als Weiser, Steht er in des Ruhmes Glanz; Liebe windet Lorbeerreiser Ihm zum ewig grünen Kranz. |: Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser, Unsern guten Kaiser Franz! :| Über blühende Gefilde Reicht sein Zepter weit und breit; Säulen seines Throns sind milde, Biedersinn und Redlichkeit, Und von seinem Wappenschilde Strahlet die Gerechtigkeit. |: Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser, Unsern guten Kaiser Franz! :|
  • Austria is way 2 COOL!

  • Well this sucks

  • The German stole the anthem from the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, changed the lyrics to a worse version in my point of view, the British at their time, stole the old German Empire anthem and changed the lyrics, again, to a worse version, in my point of view, but still, they are beautiful in my point of view! Thanks!

  • Schoen! Wunderbar! The Great Haydn and Marvelous Wien/Vienna! So much is owed to the Habsburgs for the development not only of this superb city, but to culture and to a former sense of unity in diversity of the Habsburg Empire. Hitler hated its mixture of Germans, Hungarians, Slavs of various types, Jews, Romanians, Gypsies, Poles. It 's a shame the present republic tries to hide its enormous debt to the Habsburgs. Vienna is the natural Capital city of a United Europe. Schwarz und gelbe.

  • @FRAGIORGIO1 "Unity in Diversity"? That does not make sense. Historically, Empires that embrace this philosophy were doomed to fail. i.e., Rome, Athens etc. As Aristotle once said: "Tolerance and apathy are virtues of a dying nation."

  • @TheWNMan Rome, "doomed to fall" --after 600 years? The Byzantine (Eastern Roman Empire) doomed to 1,000 years? The Austrian (better Habsburg) empire lasted for several hundred years. The Russian empire has lasted for hundreds as has China, because a change of regimes does not make a difference, since the nations lasted for centuries. The Portuguese empire lasted about 500 years. The Athenian empire was not very large and had only Greeks (except slaves).

  • @FRAGIORGIO1 You're missing the point. My point was that multi-ethnic societies are always doomed to fall. Rome could no longer defend herself because of its racial diversity in its latter stages of history.

  • @TheWNMan The only new diversity after so many centuries was the very aggressive Vandals, Goths, and other warlike elements that invaded at the very end. Even many Germans had been integrated. Are you ignoring the CENTURIES of having Celts, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Greeks, Anatolians, etc. integrated into the empire? If you are referring to Japan as an un-diversified populations, remember they lived for over a thousand years broken up feudally and only got strong in the last 100 years.

  • @FRAGIORGIO1 Aggressive vandals, but why didn't Rome defend herself? Did you look into this? Rome was already accepting a mix of different races BEFORE such aggressiveness. I think you need to revisit your history text books. As for Japan, despite being broken up politically, they were still racially homogeneous; hence your argument is invalid.

  • @TheWNMan You seem to be in love with your theory, even though it''s full of holes. ALL societies eventually fall ! Surprised? Roman existed as a multiethnic society for CENTURIES. Don't you get it? 600 years is plenty of time. You haven't given me a single example of a monoethnic eternal society to prove your point. As for Japan, what are you proving? Good grief. Then, in the other comment, you just dawdle on about profs keeping real history from the masses. So?

  • @FRAGIORGIO1 "all societies fall"; but you have not explained why they fall. It is typical of your ilk to point out events without explanations. Romans did not exist as multi ethnic for centuries; not according to my sources. I've already given you Japan and there is also China as proof. I do not know what world you are living in, but to say that China and Japan are not monolithic societies, then it is YOU who are obviously misinformed. The phrase "Good Grief" sounds very familiar...

  • @TheWNMan Societies fall for diverse reasons, obviously. "Rome did not exist as multi-ethnic for centuries"! After they conquered Spain and Carthage and Greece by 146 BC! Egypt a hundred years later along with Palestine and Gaul, and Britain about one hundred years after that, then parts of Germany and Dacia , etc.! Then they lasted another 400 years! Rome fell because free citizens lost their land to the wealthy and became parasites and slavery took over also. Read.

  • @TheWNMan You're talking about Japan as a great united society for Centuries?!! NOT! It was an assemblage of feudal states and was defeated by Korea in their expansionism 400 years ago. It was only from the late 19th century that Japan began to acquire power. China has certainly had its ups and downs and different dynasties as well as domination by Mongols and Manchurians. Who's feeding you this misinformation? "Good grief!" (Charlie Brown)

  • @TheWNMan The racial unity of Athens did not preserve her empire long at all. It is interesting to note that Aristotle's pupil, Alexander the Great embraced tolerance of ethnic diversity and created a great empire that lasted only during his lifetime, but converted Greek into the lingua franca of the Eastern Mediterranean (and the Jews of the Diaspora!) and of the Roman wealthy. What example of ethnic "purity"/non'diversity would you adduce as proof? Vienna is the counter-proof.

  • @FRAGIORGIO1 You are misinformed by those profs who wish to keep the REAL history hidden from the masses. Again, you need to do some more research, specifically on Alexander the Great, because I have totally differing perspectives on this character... The trouble with most mainstream academics is that they cannot think "outside the box"... They regurgitate that which is politically correct and stubbornly ignore all other research efforts...

  • I was at summer about 2 weeks with guides and scouts and i really missed it!

  • Die Deutschen sind Diebe, diese Hymne wurde von Haydn geschrieben.

  • @schiarazula

    Sie sind keine Diebe ,wir haben diese Hymne zurückgelegt,sie war frei zur Verfügung.......ich habe sie (von der Melodie her) auch viel lieber als unsere "neue" aber was solls, es ist Geschichte.....

  • @schiarazula Please don't argue. It was the fault of the republic that Austria lost its hymn. The Germans took it up as Haydn composed it during the Holy Roman Empire and they were under the Habsburg Schwarz und Gelbe as well.

  • going there this christmas!!! cant wait.

  • @MyMe78Not

    I think you will like it,we have many X-mas markets there and the whole inner city is decorated in beautiful X-mas decorations,there are lots of X-mas concerts and the atmosphere is very nice during this time,enjoy your time there!

  • @SiggyStern thank you very much. . :)

  • Vienna is so epic cool and so awesome beautiful, it rises to the top of the world's best cities!  I'd move there in a fuckin heartbeat.

  • OH AUSTRIA is way 2 cool!

  • I live in austria, and I love it. Its the most beautiful city Ive ever seen, and ive been in lots of diffrent countries. Its NOT true that we ar racist. Probably there are some ppl who dont like the other countries, but ive never met someone like that. Austria changed a lot since world war ^^ why do ppl still think that we are all nazis?? im disappointed of all these guys O___o

  • Herren: So sage ich hier "Ja!" Danke Schoen.

  • great music, great video.

    viena is the most amazing place on earth!

  • I've heard it's the most beautiful city on Earth. If only my student loan was bigger, I would go visit!

  • @PureJockPureBrit ..it is true it really is the most beautiful city on Earth. I wich I could move ther tomorrow and stay forever!

  • @Shiore2002= I like Vietnam. The country is beautiful. However, I don't like the commies running the country, because they smell worse than a Mexican outhouse in the summer. And one more thing, you are an asshole. Needle dick.

  • @Shiore2002, Marines are more heores then you fucking are. Long live Austria!

  • I'm Austrian - best country in the world. It's really frustrating that some people think we're racists because it's absolutely not true. And we're no Nazis either. We didn't start the 2nd world war. There's a huge difference between Austria and Germany - and German people are no racist either for that matter.

  • Cool video!

  • Austria is perfect!!!

  • every time I vacation there I don't want to come back home...lol..this place is paradise!!

  • unsa schönes österreich

  • Comment removed

  • hahahaha lol

  • fuck you

  • have you ever been there... I´m not sure, American ?? hehe no culture, we just "found" you 500 years ago

  • America is a wonderful country, but has no history, or unifying culture.

    I wish Europe discovered the Americas earlier

  • @BMBaccount How can you say "no history"? It was the example of the United States fighting against its imperial overlords and oppression that inspired the French and other Europeans, including British. There are many museums and great orchestras, famous universities that have been lighthouses of learning and research. Certainly, there is not a long history as many European nations, but what would the Egyptians and the Iraqis or Chinese say of European history? Let us respect one another.

  • It shows that are a prejudice person!

  • @Tennessee44444 3rd world city.... lol! Vienna has won many times the price for the most beautiful city in the World you american pussy! Vienna ist 1000 times more beautiful than your shity cities with no history!

  • @Juventusit10 Yes, I've been round the U.S. four times. People are mosty rude,fat, unfriendly and dangerous with a superiority complex.

    Any city in Europe is better than any city in the U.S. I can think of.

  • Austria my favorite place on earth....NO i take that back,,,AUSTRIA my favorite place in the universe!

  • Austria is great!

  • Fuck off you fuckin spain gaylord ...everytime you fuckin gaylord came to vienna (Athltico Bilbao) we beat the hell out of you

  • This is bullshit, this is not right!

  • Albanian nation is grateful to the Austro-Hungarian Empire which has played a very important role in the independence of Albania in 1912.

  • lil whale+lil puppy in Vienna! :) <3<3<3

  • I think no country in earth has a bigger history than austria, bity that all was lost in 2 stupid worldwars... ;( otherwise the culture would have been much bigger and austria a much bigger country!

  • your world must comprime from Austria alone... Of course you have a great history, but how about Italy, China, Egypt, Mexico, etc. etc. ????

  • I am in love with this beautiful, luxurious, amazing place! everybody I know who visit this magnificent Austria, came back spellbound and in love with it...so many people say they want to move there and stay! the same thing happened to me and my sister...we went for 1 month and did not want to come back home!

  • redassany,

    I ,I am really happy that you liked it in my home city!!! (o: (o:

    Siggy

  • you are so right about that, redassany...Vienna is very addictive...and just wonderful!

  • @RedAssany

    Feels good to read that! Thx. Going to visit Australia one day too. ;)

  • LOOOL! :D

  • @FanBrazil1

    Why do you think so? Let me guess: You have seen the news on TV. Wow, you must be really educated if that is your source of education! lmao

  • "Your empire is like an old maidservant, it is accustomed to being raped by everyone." - Napoleon Bonaparte, to an Austrian treaty negotiation delegation

  • Schery09,

    I see it the same way (o:

    Siggy

  • @Schery09

    WTF are you talking about?? Who gives a shit if they are racist? Go to hell you fucking LOSER!!

    It's about fucking time white Europeans take back their countries from the pathetic muds like yourself, you fucking scumbag!

  • @MegaNight666

    it's not the fault of dark skined or white skined,

    also not the fault of catholics, muslims, jews, etc.

    it isn't the fault of the people who speak chinese or arabic or any other language..

    it's your fault because you've got a big inferiority complex

  • @Schery09 No, it's YOUR fault for not being able to think outside the ideological box. I bet you are one of the self hating white libtards, who think white men are evil. Now, go fuck yourself and the liberal horse you rode in on you pathetic jew worshiping piece of SHIT!

  • @MegaNight666

    @MegaNight666

    I don't think that white men are evil.

    Is it so hard for you to talk in a human way with me and not to use any invective?

    I also don't understand the box-sentence...what ideological box did you mean?

  • is this german anthem ?

  • It is. During the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire of the Hapsburg dinasty it was also the Austrian national anthem. The music, of course, had been written by Haydn.

  • thx mr. apollogranforte

    i understood this anthem mean

  • Taken from a Croatian folk tune originally.

  • This was the anthem of the Austrian Empire. When the empire fell, Germany took the melody and used it for their anthem.

  • The Austrian empire fell in 1918 and Das Lied der Deutschen was written by Hoffmann von Fallersleben in 1841 to the same melody as Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser. =)

  • Hopstepjunk

    "is this the german anthem"

    = nowadays it is the anthem of Germany, but in during the Austro-Hungarian monarchy it was ours= written by Josef Haydn as counter anthem to the french Marseillaise". After the end of WW1,when Austria become a republic, people did not want this "emperial" anthem anymore, so it was "free to have" the Germans took it....... Just for your info (o:

  • I like this anthem. It's a pity Austria hasn't kept it.

  • Schon

  • Deutschland war aber nicht Preußen.. Fakt ist, auch damals schon gehörten Salzburg und Wien zu Österreich (und nicht etwa zu Ungarn oô), auch wenn es Teil des Heiligen Römischen Reiches war.

  • am in love with that city, in my opinion the most imperial city in the world hope to be there soon

  • na haben die ösis uns die hymne geklaut haha

  • @jojo - nojaaah - nicht ganz. Die Melodie stammt von Haydn - einem Österreicher. Will sagen: Eigentlich haben wir Deutschen geklaut... ;-)

  • haha nicht so ganz! Genauso wie die österreicher behaupten mozart sei ein österrreicher :-) das war alles deutsches terretorium zu der zeit :-)

  • naja - ich beurteile das nach den aktuellen Grenzen. Und sieht man das nach Haydns Grenzen, so war Österreich eben nicht Deutschland (Preußen) - aber ich will da auch keinen Streit anfangen ;-))

  • wenn ich mich nicht irre, gehörte die wohnregion haydns damals zu ungarn... ; )

  • reklamedame

    Danke für Deine Klarstellung (o: (o: (o:

  • WIR haben EUCH UNSERE hymne damals gegeben, nicht umgekehrt ;)

  • is das dein ernst?

    ich glaub jeder österreicher macht sich darüber lustig, das ihr euch keine eigene hymne einfallen lassen könnt - IHR HABT SIE UNS GEKLAUT!!

    ÖSTERREICH IST DAS BESSERE DEUTSCHLAND

  • "Österreich ist das bessere DEUTSCHLAND" das sagt ja schon alles über eure komplexe :-)

  • HAHA na klar wir sind die mit den komplexen ^^

    lebenswerteste stadt der welt und mehr kultur als ihr euch auch nur erträumen könnt

  • ker könnt ihr au ma wieder deutsch oder englisch reden?

  • I am soo crazy in love with AUSTRIA...it it the best place on earth!!!

  • So I might go to Vienna this summer. Is there anyone who could recommend some sites and places in the city that are worth visiting? :)

  • The only thing missing is an image of my beloved Prater Park!

  • Pozdrowienia od ziomków z Polski!

  • jakich ziomków?

    -rozbiory Polski-specjalne podziękowanie za bitwę po Wiedniem.

    -II wojna światowa

  • Głosowałeś za akcesją do UE - to jesteśmy ziomkami. Zresztą, gdyby Franciszek był złym cesarzem to by nie dopuścił do rozbiorów, on jednak działał w interesie kraju, którym rządził.

    Aktualnie nasza konstytucja jest poniżej prawa unijnego i można na nią splunąć, ponad 50% polaków chce parytetu płci w sejmie, a ty czepiasz się dawnych dziejów? Owóż oczy.

  • UE bym w to nie mieszał.Nie głosowałem za akcesją bo głosować jeszcze nie mogłem.Najbardziej jednak pro-unijni są ci którzy wychowali się w komunizmie.A co ważne im ściślejsza próba integracji,tym bardziej nastroje nacjonalistyczne w społ. się odzywają.Austriackie konserwatywne społ. nie jest lepsze od pol.

  • Podałem prosty fakt, prawo unijne jest ponad prawem "narodowym", nawet konstytucją. I tego się trzymają sondy. Konstytucja Polska zakazywała ekstradycji obywateli polskich, mimo to, było około piec przypadków, gdy polskie sondy nakazały ekstradycje.

    A co myśleć o coraz większej integracji? O tworzeniu narodu "europejczyków", pomyśle na wspólne wojsko i policje? Co myśleć o tym, że politycy wstają, jak odgrywany jest "nie hymn" UE.

  • wspólne wojsko,policja-zobaczymy na ile efektywnie to będzie działac-powojnie w Gruzji (pomijając fakt czy interwencja Kaczyńskiego była słuszna) wydaje się ze Europa Zach. nie będzie nigdy zainteresowana bronieniem interesów innych krajów EU-jak Rosja omija Europ.Wsch. przy planowaniu gazociągów,nikt we Francji się przecież nie burzy.

  • Polska powinna ścislej wspoł. z krajami o podobnym poziomie rozwoju np. w ramach Grupy Wyszechradzkiej wypracowywać wspólną politykę w UE.Nie wiem,ale chyba ta organ. jest mało aktywna dzisiaj.

  • W takim razie pytanie po co UE, jak wspólne interesy mamy tylko z niektórymi krajami. Zwłaszcza jak traktat Lizboński usuwa w wielu przypadkach prawo do Veta.

    Prawda jest taka, że Rosja, nie miała nic przeciwko temu by kraje buforowe z Europy środkowej utworzyły silny wspólny blok, niestety niemcy storpedowały ten pomysł i można powiedzieć, że wepchały nas do UE.

  • Traktat Lizboński to początek końca tej wspaniałej idei jakim jest wspólna Europa.Pytanie tylko jak długo będzie trwała agonia.Nie dogonimy europ. zach bratając się z socjalistycznymi Niemcami,tylko po to żeby zamiast ich stoczni upadła nasza.Polska była silna jak współ. z krajami regionu-i tak powinno być teraz.

  • Idea Unii Europejskiej powstała stosunkowo niedawno, bo 1992 roku w Maastricht i nigdy nie była wspaniała. Dobra była idea Wspólnoty niepodległych państw, Unia jest zła.

    Obawiam się, że agonia może trwać i ponad 100 lat. Europa zachodnia jest bogata i nawet gdyby UE zamieniła się w państwo na wzór ZSRR, to i tak ze dwa pokolenia by to wytrzymało.

  • Nie jestem historykiem,ale chyba Austria była najmniej znaczącym zaborcą.Jednak skutecznie przeciwstawiali mniejszości przeciwko sobie.

  • Dzisiaj szlag mnie trafia jak czytam komentarze o Lwowie z którego Austriacy zrobili "Lemberg".Ukraińcy twierdzą,ze to miasto jak już to ma wpływy austriackie a nie polskie.Nieważne,że polscy architekci nawet za czasów zaborów projektowali wiele budynków.A dzisiaj Polacy są proszeni o pomoc w renowacji kamienic.Straciliśmy piekne miasto,jako jedyne reprezentujące w pełni naszą historię i kulturę.

  • it's my hometown =]

  • lucky you. i love love love this city!!!

  • i love vienna! i wouldnt want to live anywhere eles

  • Vienna is a great and wonderful city - One of the great cultural capitols of europe!

  • toujours cinq étoiles

  • I didn't like greece at all either

  • I thought Vienna was a beautiful city... so beautiful cathedrals and palaces. I just loved it!

  • Großartig Österreich

    Es lebe die Europäische Union

    Gruß Form Italien

  • the melody of this song is now the melody of the german national anthem.

    Vive la republique, Es lebe die Republik, alle Macht dem Volke...all power to the people! We don´t need monarchies anymore.

  • Vienna is a wonderful city ! I enjoyed my stay there !

  • hmmmm... i wish i can visit vienna hehehhee

  • I'am from Budapest, and I WANT to see Vienna, not just because it's close. I will go, maybe at Summer.

  • the song is about the emperor Franz Ferdinand so I don't think there are any Nazi involved. ^^ it's just an old song from a time when Austria still had a monarchy.

    Something like "God save the Queen" in this case Kaiser Franz

  • Kaiserhymne is not NAZI°!!

  • @SmartZX

    Very smart. lmao fool

  • I will be living in Vienna for 3 weeks this summer before traveling to Medjugorje. How much German should I prepare for? I speak no German but all English! Lil nervous living with an all German family. Two people stay with speak English. Should I study a lot of German?

  • Hmmm you should learn maybe a couple of pharses. things you will need when you go shopping or want to buy a ticket for the tram and so on. I guess the family you stay with will help you. Here in Vienna we have many citizens who can't even speak German so don't worry about it! ;)

  • when you are in the central city you don't need to know much german, lots of people speak english, but in the residential areas it helps but you don't need to speak that much. There are automats (vending machines) for the tram tickets and you can select english. I was there for 2 months and learnt a bit but you should think about what you will be doing and try to comprehend what they say, easier than remembering what to say. you're only there for 2 weeks so don't worry, won't have to learn much

  • Hi! normally you should not have problems, when you can speak English. I think you don't have to learn German, the most people can speak at least a bit Englisch... I'm from Vienna and i think you will survive!

  • I was there in Novemebr of '08. Beautiful city, rich heritage, friendly people and great food. Enjoyed every bit of my stay in Vienna and my visit to Salzburgh

  • omg! Awesome!! I was there in nov '08 too! WOo! Love the backereis

  • I am shocked! This is the German National Anthem!!!

  • Vienna is such a beautiful city, I was there at summer 2005 and I am going this summer too. I recommend everyone who can go there, to go. Because it is absolutely gorgeous!

  • before it gets drowned under the sea by global warming

  • Global Warming would not cause an increase of the sea by 200m - so do not worry about Vienna.

    An earthquake is much more likely :)

  • I am from serbia and I was in Vienna last year.I can only say: Beautiful city, perfect for living there!!!

  • Mit kaiserlich-königlichen Grüßen aus dem Kaiserbezirk, Wien Hietzing XIII.

    alles andere ist favoriten.. lol

  • I live in Vienna and i am happy that i do

  • a wonderful city, i was there at Christmas and i will be there again for sure,i ve been in many places in many cities but Vienna is in my heart,the buildings, the people everything was perfect,and now at christmas just AMAZING greetings from greece

  • Vienna is beautifull indeed, My girlfriend lives there, Gonna visit her soon O___O ( greets to all from outa netherland )

  • Jesus was not jewish cause he wasn`t a man. He only incarnated as a jew to spread the word of god. Also I can`t agree that jews are an evil race. A great man called Lenin sayed that people are equal, and he was right! Sure, every man is different, but we should all have the same rights to live in a better world!
