| Hymne :
| Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit,
fuer das deutsche Vaterland !
Danach lasst uns alle streben,
bruederlich mit Herz und Hand !
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit,
sind des Glueckes Unterpfand.
Blueh im Glanze dieses Gluekkes,
bluehe deutsches Vaterland !
Texte écrit par le poète Auguste Heinrich von Fallersleben en 1841
