Das Deutschlandlied, auch Lied der Deutschen oder seltener Hoffmann-Haydnsches Lied genannt, wurde von August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben am 26. August 1841 auf der Insel Helgoland auf eine Melodie von Joseph Haydn gedichtet.

Das Lied wurde am 5. Oktober 1841 in Hamburg erstmals öffentlich gesungen. Die Melodie stammt von Joseph Haydn, der sie 1797, zur Zeit der Napoleonischen Kriege, als Kaiserhymne („Gott erhalte Franz, den Kaiser, unsern guten Kaiser Franz") für Kaiser Franz II. komponierte. Später verwendete er diese Melodie im zweiten Satz des Kaiserquartetts für vier Streichinstrumente.

Das Lied wurde 1922 zur Nationalhymne des Deutschen Reiches erkoren. Zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus wurde nur noch die erste Strophe gesungen, auf die das nationalsozialistische Horst-Wessel-Lied folgte. Diskussionen über die weitere Verwendung des Deutschlandliedes nach 1945 wurden 1952 durch einen offiziellen Briefwechsel zwischen Bundespräsident und Bundeskanzler dahingehend entschieden, dass das Deutschlandlied Nationalhymne bleiben, zu offiziellen Anlässen jedoch nur die dritte Strophe gesungen werden solle. Nach der Wiedervereinigung wurde im Jahr 1991 in einem weiteren Briefwechsel die dritte Strophe zur Nationalhymne Deutschlands erklärt.

Das Lied der Deutschen (Le Chant des Allemands) ou Deutschlandlied (Chant d'Allemagne) est un chant dont le troisième couplet est l'hymne national de l'Allemagne. Les paroles, écrites par August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (Fallersleben) en 1841 sur l'île de Helgoland, furent mises sur une musique de Joseph Haydn qui était à sa création en 1797 une partition pour un quatuor à cordes.

Das Deutschlandlied ("The Germany Song", also known as Das Lied der Deutschen, "The Song of the Germans") has been used wholly or partially as the national anthem of Germany since 1922.

  • @farshad94abedi ugh you stupid piece of scum

  • long live the arian people, persians and germans united as one forever <3

  • Great Germany

  • Sorry, chum,unlike yourself, I lived through the war. I had family in Germany (I'm one-quarter German myself) and these relations of mine ALL wsorshipped The Fuehrer. There was good reason for this at the time which you would understand were you in possession of the historical background of the time.

  • @buteshire

    Well, that's just how post war propaganda has brainwashed you. The, by far, greatest enemies of Hitler and Naziism and are the Germans themselves.

    Welcome to reality, the year 2011 and, if you'll ever attempt to visit the fatherland, welcome to the TRUE Germany.

  • @Lintflas Funny, I thought they were the ones who thought it all up!!

  • @DerHimmelIstRot even though im part german star tard and south africa could have been a 11st world country it was until we had our so called "rainbow government" when everything went down not to be racist but the apartheid government was making it go up

  • @GuyPennebaker You say "our", yet I see you're from South Africa... Care to explain that? You clearly know nothing about German history. Germany is a modern, republican, democratic county. Our country is amongst the best educated in the world. We are not cowards, we simply are not stupid enough to believe that every problem can be resolved by the shooting of weapons...

  • @DerHimmelIstRot kaiser Wilhelm ,Fredrick the great and Erwin Rommel the last knight of germany must be rolling in their graves to see how our "once" proud nation has fallen into coward-es and stupidity

  • @DerHimmelIstRot there is racism sexism islamism homophobia xenophobia everywhere germany is now considered a coward country its now the modern day weak minded germans who are hanted have you ever thought for one second what germany would be like if hitler didnt come to power? it would be gone there would be no germany the history erased only to be told in history books as the "evil people" they were just like in ww1 your considered evil because of that even though germany sided with its allies
