The melody of the German anthem was creates by Joseph Haydn
before August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben made the lyrics
in 1841. After WW 2 there was no official anthem for a while, then it was decided to use Bethovens Ode an die Freude (song of joy)
what is now used as the European anthem.
During the word championship for football (soccer) 1954, that was won by Germany they started to play the new anthem. After a while all the
Germans got upp and started to sing the old one. Since then we got
the old one back. One of the line says Deutschland, Deutschland
über alles (Germany over everything). Due to the stupid political
correctness in Germany only a part of the lyrics is used because some funnies in the whole word could misunderstand it. In GB a
revolution would start if the Queen would say cut the line Britannia
rules the waves. |

Weil das die Strophen sind die bis zum 3.Reich gesungen wurden. Die Nazis nahmen diese Textzeile besonders wörtlich und man sieht ja was daraus geworden ist.
Also, singen wir (wenn überhaupt) nur die 3.Strophe.
E:
Because that were the verses in the Anthem up to the end of the 3rd. Reich. The Nazis take the lines literally(?) (serious) and you know whats happend then.
We sing now (if ever we sing that) only the 3rd. verse.

I would say that the problem in Germany is that "we Germans" don't have to sing our anthem daily in school. You only learn it once in the 4th grade I was told. But unless we do suffer on dyslexia we are well aware how to write our own nations name. |
