The "unofficial national anthem" of the Austrian province of Tyrol was written by two brothers in the 1950s. Florian Pedarnig, only 17 years old at the time, composed the music, his brother Josef Pedarnig wrote the lyrics. The song has always been controversial because the second verse deals with the separation from South Tyrol. Florian Pedarnig argued that the march should no longer be played at festivals where alcohol is served, as there would be an increase in hurtful shouts. Nevertheless, the folk music piece has enjoyed unbroken popularity since its publication in 1985 and is even among the top three most-played songs at the Munich Oktoberfest.
