The "Deutschlandlied" (pronounced [ˈdɔʏtʃlantˌliːt] ⓘ; lit. 'Germany Song'), officially titled "Das Lied der Deutschen" (IPA: [das ˈliːt dɛɐ̯ ˈdɔʏtʃn̩]; lit. 'The Song of the Germans'), has been the national anthem of Germany either wholly or in part since 1922, except for a seven-year gap following World War II in West Germany. In East Germany, the national anthem was "Auferstanden aus Ruinen" (lit. 'Risen from Ruins'), used between 1949 and 1990.
The music is derived from that of "Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser", composed in 1797 by the Austrian composer Joseph Haydn as an anthem for the birthday of Francis II, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and later of Austria. In 1841, the German linguist and poet August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben wrote the lyrics of "Das Lied der Deutschen" as a new text for that music, counterposing the national unification of Germany to the eulogy of a monarch: lyrics that were considered revolutionary at the time.
