National Anthem of Liechtenstein - Oben am jungen Rhein (ENG subs)

🇱🇮

"Oben am jungen Rhein" is the national anthem of Liechtenstein. Written in the 1850s, it is set to the melody of the British anthem, "God Save the King", which in the 19th century had been used for a number of anthems of German-speaking nations, including those of Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, and Switzerland.
The lyrics were not published during Jauch's lifetime. They appeared in print, as the national anthem of Liechtenstein (Die Liechtenstein'sche National-Hymne) only after a period of oral transmission, in 1875, so that the tradition of Jauch's authorship, or the original form of his lyrics, cannot be verified. The song served as Liechtenstein's unofficial, de facto national anthem from the 1870s until its official adoption in 1920.s
