"Deutschlandlied" | Germany National Anthem at Funeral

Good video. I can sing Das Deutschlandlied and Kaiserhymne.

the Germans had no own composer for her national anthem.
The composers were Croats, Croatia was part of Austria since 1526 til 1^867, after that Ausgria Hungary til 1918
never Germany,Joseph Haydn from Lower Austria made the "Volkshymne" for Austria an he used the Croatian folksong, dedidacet to House of Austria, in 1922 The Germans took it for Germany

Note: the first two anthem was not the Gott Erhalte Franz den Kaiser, but Gott Erhalte, Gott Beschütze

Deutschlandlied has a beautiful melody. Thank you for sharing!

Why Don't have Roman Herzog

This is NOT (in this context) the German anthem. This was the Austro-Hungarian national anthem until 1918, which started with the lyrics "Gott erhalte, Gott erschütze, unsern Kaiser, unsern Land..." (God save, God protect, our Emperor, our country), but which before was "Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser..." (God save Emperor Francis). Until 1918, the German national anthem was "Heil Dir im Siegeskranz", with the music... of GOD SAVE THE KING. Yes, Germany and the United Kingdom went at war in 1914 with the same music in their national anthems, but with different lyrics. Therefore, in funerals for members of the Austrian Imperial family they play, of course, the Austrian anthem of the Empire's time. The German anthem became such, that is, the anthem of Germany, after 1918, with the Republic of Weimar, when Austria became also a republic and chose a new anthem. The Deutschlandlied was sung before 1918 by "pan-Germanists" with different lyrics than in Austria. Austria was part of the Holy "Roman-German" Empire, and for centuries the Archdukes of Austria were their Emperors.

Mas tem outra marcha que é mais simbólica e com ar de luto mais intenso chegando a emocionar .

Otto von Habsburg lived throughout the Soviet Union :)

This video was posted on 24 Nov., the same day as Helmut Schmidt, former Chancellor of West Germany, whose funeral was held.

I thought there were some Hapsburgs still around. Some Hohenzollerns too and quite a few Savoys and Romanovs as well.

A few words to explain many misunderstandings related to the current German national anthem.
1. The elements of the melody of this hymn have been known in folk music and also in some composers for several centuries.
2. Haydn composed this piece in 1797 (as a minuet - court dance) in honor of the emperor and not for any nation or country (at that time the Emperor was the ruler of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, not Austria or Bavaria, Saxony or other the country of Germany. The Empire of Austria, as a separate state, was not established until 1804 (as a result of the intervention of France).
3. The melody of this song was deliberately used by revolutionists who, after the fall of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, sought to find their own national and state identity for dozens of fragmented German lands. However, the text was changed.
4. Instead of the faithful worship of the Emperor's persona, "Gott erchalte Frantz den Keizer", the nation was brought to the fore, so now "Deutschland uber alles" was sung. Besides, the emperor was a weak personality, not interested in the nation (completely dependent on Napoleon's will). Emperor Franz was only interested in the success of his dynasty (who now wanted to rule the Slavs of the Balkans with the hard hand of the Hungarians - which later ended in the catastrophe of World War I).
5. The idea of ​​a united Germany was fought by the Austrian Emperors (see Chancellor Metternich) but also by some authoritarian rulers of the remaining German states, such as Prussia. The revolution fell, but the idea survived and finally returned (in a changed form) thanks to Bismarck. Austria completely dropped out of the unification option (the so-called Great German one) and went its own way. Therefore, to this day, Austria treats this song only as the personal anthem of the Habsburg dynasty and nothing else. As an emerging nation, they also deliberately chose other songs as their anthem, as their political vision was different.
6. The idea of ​​a united Germany, originally expressed in this song, was abused by the Nazis, who, however, did not like the democratic and anti-authoritative sound of the song's words. Therefore, only the first stanza was sung. The Nazis, however, managed to reactivate the Great German option and that is why the Third Reich was officially called the Greater German Reich. Therefore, they stayed with this hymn linking Austrian lands with other German lands.
7. It was because of the democratic and anti-authoritarian tone of the words of this German song that it was allowed to return as the anthem of the new (West) Germany and then (after 1989) of those united with the East.
8. Finally: there is basically nothing like Germans. It's a general term. There are only Bavarians, Swabians, Hessians, Saxonians, Austrians, Styrians, Tyroleans, Carinthians, Thuringians and so on. Most of Germans are united in the Federal Republic of Germany, a smaller part in the Republic of Austria (also federal). Certain groups of Germans live in Switzerland (the so-called German Swiss-Deutsch Schweitz) and in other European countries, although the latter do not create separate nations or lands.
9. Therefore, this hymn has not been stolen or taken away from anyone. This song only reflects the turbulent history of the people of the German cultural circle and still carries the ideas of coexistence, anti-authoritarian and democracy (although nowadays the first stanza is not sung due to negative connotations with Hitler's criminal politics).
