Deutschlandlied or Das Lied der Deutschen is a national anthem of Germany since 1922 It replace the German Empire anthem (Heil dir Im Siegerkranz) after the First World War, The melody of the Deutschlandlied ,also known as the Austria tune ,was written by Joseph Haydn in 1797 to provide music to the poem Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser by Lorenz Leopold Haschka. The song was a birthday anthem honouring Francis II Habsburg emperor and the last Holy Roman Emperor. The song became very popular after the 1914 Battle of Langemarck during World War I, when, supposedly, several German regiments, consisting mostly of students no older than 20, attacked the British lines on the Western front while singing the song, suffering heavy casualties. They are buried in the Langemark German war cemetery in Belgium. The melody used by the "Deutschlandlied" was still in use as the anthem of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until its demise in 1918. On 11 August 1922, German President Friedrich Ebert, a Social Democrat, made the Deutschlandlied the official German national anthem. In 1919 the black, red and gold tricolour, the colours of the 19th century liberal revolutionaries advocated by the political left and centre, was adopted (rather than the previous black, white and red of Imperial Germany). Thus, in a political trade-off, the conservative right was granted a nationalistic composition.There is 3 stanza of the anthem but only the third stanza is used as the modern German national anthem.Thank You for your Support!

Blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes
Blühe, deutsches Vaterland!
