dioamine I don’t think this could be called ruins immigration isn’t just bad for us European our population is very old and is shrinking immigrants provide us new young people to do « bad works » in France notre dame has burned we got terrorist attempts but if we don’t want to see true ruins we can’t let far right take our country in every election in France they are close to take power and when they will we will get true ruins they are going to divide us because for some unknown reasons « French people are more important than other humans » and the same thing will happen in all Europe just imagine what they could do
Was hast Du denn dazu beitragen, Deutscher zu sein? Wie kann man auf etwas stolz sein, das man sich nicht selber erarbeitet hat? Wie auch immer, sein Land zu lieben ist nichts Schlimmes - im Gegenteil - solange diese Liebe keine nationalistischen Zuege annimmt.
I don't usually comment on anthems but this anthem sounds so wholesome. One that reflects a nation that's willing to rise above any BS they've encountered in the past.
tihs is a crime to be not nationalist while being german when you guys have the best songs ever. stop with anti nazi histeria they are gone. its ok to love your country.
Why shouldn't you live your country at is worst? If you love your country then strive and succed in making it better and it's what National Socialism is.
Grim Reaper national socialism, just like all other socialism, is a disease and must be eradicated. I believe in nationalism, but replacing “the working class” with “____ people” doesn’t make it right.
@@funeraloak7422 your ignorance of national socialism isn't surprising. It only had "socialist" in its name to appeal to the leftist in Germany and James Murphy says it in his English translation of Mein Kampf. National Socialism was against communism which is socialist like the United Soviet Socialist Republic or USSR. Its a misleading name but it worked to gain the interest of left leaning Germans.
Written at a time when Germany didn't exist as a united country but divided amongst several (often warring) states. The song is an appeal for Germany unity. "Deutschland uber Alles" is a call for all Germans to place Germany above all the petty states. Its words are actually very moving, appealing for all Germans to join hands in brotherhood. What other national anthem praises the wine, women, and song of the nation together with appeals to truth and beauty? Compare that to the French anthem ~ arguably the bloodiest and most bloodthirsty of all anthems!
Kenneth Wissler The first time I saw the lyrics of the French anthem I was a bit shocked. It's my favourite anthem now, because it's so bloodthirsty. I do like the German anthem as well though.
absolutely rechtig! zehr gut! as a decendent of sud deuschters i salute your comments. do you realize that the largest component of immigrants in the u.s. are germans/ gott segnen!
Yeah well Deutschland Uber Alles actually say that Germany's boder is supposed to go from Memel (which means the Baltic states) up to the very inside of my country on the Maas River... So I don't really believe in that unity song: it's a pangermanistic song, no doubt about that. (It still sounds cooler than the current german anthem which so gay...)
MoreAwsomeMetal I think you misunderstood this anthem because they didnt mean that the border should reach out till Memel. In 1841(The year in which the anthem got written) existed a german state called Prussia. Prussia was the owner of memel that's why the singer is singing "Von der Maas bis an die Memel"(From Maas to Memel)
@@CHRIS_5226I'm actually reading Mein Kampf, and for as nationalist as Hitler was, it's no surprise that he says he took joy in singing this. It's a damned thing to share the air of mass murderers, but we breath all the same. I find pride in Germany for having come back from such darkness.
The german national anthem is a call to unity it is misinterpreted if you believe it means "above all or above everything". you guys should translate it more or less like: Germany is the first thing for us "the germans of course" in the world)
This is actually a melody that came from the church. "Joyous Things of Thee are Spoken' many, many decades before Germany created this national anthem.
Every country and every people should believe that they are superior to all others, and strive to prove it. Tolerance is good and all but when push comes to shove, over inclusivity won’t stop another country from taking everything you hold dear. Fight for your country. Fight for your people.
@Dennis Shih but that s not what the nazis and other nationalists (the ones that arent just proud of theit country ifyaknowwhatimsayin) take it and use it as. claiming that that is ALL it represents is pretty fucking stupid.
This is not the meaning of the words. It means that Germany is the most important thing for ME. It does not mean that Germany is above all others. This is a very common misinterpretation. If you don't believe me go research it on the internet.
Not better, just unified. You must understand its purpose. It was written by Josef Haydn to encourage the rulers of the various cities and states of the old Holy Roman Empire to unite into a single Deutschland. That is, to place Deutscher Ggemeinsamkeit und Einheit over their individual importance.
A very powerful and beautiful anthem. Germany is a very beautiful country with amazing architecture and truly ingenious philosophers. Gut gemacht, Deutschland. Beste Grüße aus Russland 🇷🇺🤝🇩🇪
A time will come when all lies will crumple under their own weight and truth will triumph... one day... one day... The lies won't always hide the truth...
It's fucking sad that you get called a right-wing extremist if you sing your own country's national anthem in Germany. Germany should be referred to as the Sultanate of Germanistan from now on.
So proud to be German! We are obligated never to forget who we are, which are our roots and where we come from, doesn't metter where are we now, and how far actually we are from land our families come from! Never forget who you are!
Ich bin stolz ein Amerikanischer zu sein, und genauso stolz auf mein deutsches Erbe !!! ... I am proud to be an American , and equally proud of my German heritage !!!
So soll es sein, mein Freund. Deutsch ist die größte Minderheit in Amerika, siehe auch Donaöd Trump. Wir hätten im 1.wk einfach die Entente zerstören können und weltmächte werden können, wieso Amerika ;(

As a Non-German, I sing this anthem too, its beautiful, the melody especially. Funfact, the melody is taken from the Austro-Hungarian empire song, And "Deutschland Uber Alles" means "United Germany over individual entities like Saxony, Bavaria, Prussia etc". So basically the 1st stanza is about German unity & brotherhood and nothing to despise about.
No 1st stanza mean Germany above all else in the world... It's still history just most Germans don't feel that way anymore so they took it out of the anthem.
@@matthofer2431from the meuse to memel like jesus can you not take all of Lorraine and like half of Poland in? Ig if you said from the rhine to the order, from the Alps to schleswig idk
British people, Russian people, American people and Japanese people never apologised for their crimes. Why does Germany feel so guilty for something which ended 75 years ago ?
@@Zanthron the lyrics are commonly misunderstood however it should be noted the nazis sorta stole the phrase "Deutschland uber alles" as the song was made and the term coined long before hitler or even his mother were born so much like the swastika they just kinda stole shit and made it a symbol of hate The song refers to german unity over all else not the race like its commonly thought
If it wasn't for the "candy asses" who operate the U.S. Open,I wouldn't have discovered such an amazing anthem.! ...and I'm glad I did.! From this "African-American": Keep your spirits up, Germany, for you have an amazing history shareable to all who will observe. Much love and respect.!
You know, that poem is often misunderstood, thanks to Hitler. The first verse "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles" was part of the National Anthem of the Republic of Germany before the National Socialists came to power. It has nothing to do with world conquest. It's about German unity. Germany in the 1800's consisted of hundreds of independent states, each with its own prince, king, duke, grand duke, whatever. Hofmann von Fallersleben wrote the poem "Das Lied der Deutschen" around the time of the 1848 revolutions as a call to German unity. He's saying that all of those states, from the Maas to the Memel, , from the Etsch to the Belt, were Germany. Saxony is Germany, Bavaria is Germany, Brandenburg is Germany, Hesse is Germany, and so on... That was the "über alles" he was talking about. It's not a poem about German domination of the world. Since 1949, only the third verse "Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit" ("Unity and Right and Freedom") has been the national anthem of the Federal Republic of Germany because of the negative connotation the first verse has unfairly been given.

@@liness1152 genetics don't make you a nationality. If you were born in America (which from your comments is a strong probability) of German parents then you are 1st generation American with German ancestry... you are not German.

@@conal92you have zero idea what you're talking about. You sound like a demoralized American who knows nothing of the blood that runs thru her veins. Very sad...many such cases.
I'm seven months late, but. This anthem was written in 1841 to please the monarchs by saying things about Germany having world domination and being above all else. "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles, über alles" translates to: Germany, Germany, above all else, above all else.

Germany is like a Phoenix, it falls into ashes just to rise from those ashes. A great country to live in regardless of the time period. Whenever it falls, it rises and becomes a greater country.
Actually a really nice anthem! I can't wait to go back and visit Germany it's been a few years but it's always a blast! Friede sei mit euch, meine Freunde!
In researching my family tree, I discovered a very strong German branch that I never knew existed. When I asked a cousin about it, she said that during WWII, the family "disinherited" their German ancestry and never spoke about it again. Now I know why this and similar music speaks to me at such a deep leverl

James M Not so. This was never the imperial anthem - in fact it was banned under the empire. The current flag of Germany and this anthem have a lot in common. Do some research and if you need any help get back to me. Cheers.😉
Erich H. I gave a good rendition of that verse at the Germany - Scotland match in Dortmund a few years back. I was politely informed that it was infra dig. That said I was the only one present who had actually been to the Meuse, Klaipeda/Neman, the Adidge, & across the Belt. If I visit Helgoland do I qualify for a tea shirt? German wine & women have already been knocked off the list. German history is much, much, more than 1933 - 1945. Sympathy to our brothers & sisters at Berlin.
reb0118 to be honest im not sure of any of what you just said means? But I think we are in agreement that its goofy they dont even sing the first part of their own anthem.
There are some Hymns in the Church of England Hymnbook, which carry the same tune. Having been stationed in Germany for many years whenever I hear these hymns I am reminded of the German National anthem, and sing along using some of the words from the German National Anthem.
Yes, a very old church hymn that we sing here in the USA, which I THINK came from England, but the music from Germany. "Joyous Things of Thee are Spoken".
