"'" is a patriotic German song written by Ludwig Bauer (18321910) in 1859 and set to music by Henry Hugh Pierson. The song was, besides the "Deutschlandlied", "Die Wacht am Rhein" and "Des Deutschen Vaterland", the most popular patriotic anthem in the 19th century.

History



In 1858, Henry Hugh Pierson, an English composer resident in Germany, had written a tune for the patriotic song 'Ye mariners of England' by Thomas Campbell.Nicholas Temperley, 1973: Henry Hugo Pierson, 181573.
