My Great Grandfather was killed by the Germans in North Africa, leaving my grandmother and her brother without a father as small children. I was mostly raised by my grandparents due to family issues, so I grew up with a very passionate hatred for Germany and for Japan... Especially Japan, actually. I visited Germany in 2019 and had my world views turned upside down. Germany is a beautiful country with beautiful people, some of the kindest people I have yet seen on my travels. Lovely hospitality and a fascinating nation. I felt embarrassed for my prior views on the German people, for I now see that a people can make amends for their mistakes in the past. I have not yet been to Japan, and I admit that I do still feel a deep anger towards Japan, but I know that if I am to overcome this I must visit the country and see the people. Update: I don't know how I ended up back here again, I forgot that I even made this comment, but now I'm dating a Japanese girl and have been to Japan.

As an American of Mexican heritage, I have always liked the German national anthem after hearing it in World Cup Soccer games. After hearing this version being sung in a cathedral setting, it just floored me emotionally as it sounded like being sung in heaven. Thank you for posting.
All the best to Germany - studying German in Köln at the university as part of a year abroad for my languages degree (1983) after many school trips to Krefeld and Düsseldorf, and working at a fruit and veg factory in Sesen in the Harz mountains for Sonnen-Bassermann to earn summer money in 1979 - I have loved Germany and all things German for many many years. I’m so sad we lost our connection with Brexit but I’ll always be loyal to my European roots and experiences. God bless from England
@@ALEXANDAR7nfortunately not. "God save the King" and the German "Kaiserhymne" or the "Imperial Hymn", the unofficial hymn of the german empire indeed share the same melody.
Only someone who was fortunate enough to have lived consciously during his reign can truly appreciate what a great politician we have lost in this man. The best German head of government of the 20th century. He will be missed forever and we should all measure by him who come after...
I was a teen back then, today I know whom we have lost. Having understood to some extent what it meant to have survived the war and having to build a new society and a new country I now see what men of high calibre many of them were whether it be Helmut Schmidt, Franz-Josef Strauß, Hans-Dietrich Genscher etc.
A spiritually moving sound that rises above human tragedies with the impetus of the greatest of human compassion. Thank you Hayden for your music .

Und die Melodie unserer Nationalhymne war mal die Melodie der österreichischen Kaiserhymne (Gott erhalte, Gott beschütze...) und stammt von Österreichs großem Komponisten Joseph Hayden. Tja, tausend Jahre gemeinsame Geschichte hinterlassen Spuren.
Europe will not forget and will not forgive that Germany did not want to help Ukraine and wanted to have buisnesses with Russia. You are ugly. All you wanted was blood of ukrainian children in your Nord Stream pipe lines from Russia. At the begining of the war Germans told Ukrainian Ambasador that Germany will not help Ukraine. Ukraine will exist maybe hours and thats the end of this country. I am European. I wanted to forgive Germany Hitler's crimes but what you did in 2022... hahaha. While Poland was giving to Ukraine 250 tanks you wanted to give 5000 helmets. I hate you. But dont worry. Eastern Europe knows now that we can count on each other and not on Germany. You lost everything Germany. Nobody will accept no more your hegemony in Europe. You are traitors.
I served with the Royal Air Force in Germany for almost 3 years grew to love the country and its people. Now I have several German friends for many years and love to visit the country whenever I can especially cruising on the Rhine and Moselle.
The melody was composed by Haydn, and used by him twice: first, as a hymn to the Emperor and second, as the principal melody in his Emperor string quartet, No 62, and both in 1797.
A hymn sort of, but really it was conceived as a national anthem. Haydn spent much of the period 1791/92 and 1794/95 in England and heard God Save the King often and had noted the impact, so on his return, he wrote Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser for his own country (the Habsburg Empire or Austria if you like); it’s appropriation by Germany came later. The new Emperor’s song was an immediate hit, so as you say, he used it as the theme for a lovely set of variations in the string quartet Opus 76 No 3.
@@elaineblackhurst1509 an excellent comment, and thank you for it. a Canadian, I think of 'God Save the Queen' as a hymn more than as an anthem, for example (we have 'O Canada' for the latter purpose). given Haydn's bi-national purposes, perhaps he conceived it the same way. again, thanks
@@charlesbarber8166 Not sure I’ve understood your point: God Save the King is clearly a national anthem, as is Gott erhalte and the national anthem every other nation - they are not hymns.
@@elaineblackhurst1509 Hi Elaine. Thank you for yours. To me, a hymn honours a person or a god, and an anthem a nation or a trans-national entity. When I was growing up, we sang two such songs, in this order: God Save The Queen (Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada), immediately followed by O Canada, an apostrophe to the nation as a whole. I'm sure others see the matter differently, and fair enough. Best wishes.
The music comes from the second movement of that Emperor Quartet. It's actually a theme and variations movement, and this is the main theme. Haydn originally wrote it in G Major, but it is most often sung in Eb Major.
Hyden composed with angels at he's side! It & this unique orchestral version represents so well a beautyful Germany..free,open & together..mindful of this country & it's people who has been through so much toil ,& dam hard work!!..this is a masterpiece of a national anthem.Warm wishes Germany.John Ireland.

As an American of Mexican heritage, I have always liked the German national anthem after hearing it in World Cup Soccer games. After hearing this version being sung in a cathedral setting, it just floored me emotionally as it sounded like being sung in heaven. Thank you for posting.
My pleasure!
The background music has been used to compose church hymns.
Those are beautiful words. I feel the same
All the best to Germany - studying German in Köln at the university as part of a year abroad for my languages degree (1983) after many school trips to Krefeld and Düsseldorf, and working at a fruit and veg factory in Sesen in the Harz mountains for Sonnen-Bassermann to earn summer money in 1979 - I have loved Germany and all things German for many many years. I’m so sad we lost our connection with Brexit but I’ll always be loyal to my European roots and experiences. God bless from England
The Brexit was very odd to us, but we are so close when it comes to the people, that there will always be a connection.
This made me cry it is very beautiful
Love Germany from 🇦🇺
Danke. Mogen euch auch. Frieden. Frieden

Long live Germany 🇩🇪 from the UK 🇬🇧 can’t think of two countries that could share more culture! 😊
As a German who has had the privilege of living in the UK for over a decade, I could not agree more.
Words are different - BUT - It is in fact the same tune as "God Save the Queen" - Listen carefully. Cheers, Colonel Jack
@@ALEXANDAR7nfortunately not. "God save the King" and the German "Kaiserhymne" or the "Imperial Hymn", the unofficial hymn of the german empire indeed share the same melody.
Very similar. If both countries would speak the same language, it would basically be the same country.
@@StrongKickMan we are one, I agree
Die schönste Hymne aller Länder! Hervorragende Leistung.
Ein wunderschönes Lied für einen wirklich traurigen Anlass 😥
Long live to Germany from Italy, your European sister, really beautiful🇩🇪🇪🇺🇮🇹

Yes Hitler and Mussolini were brothers in murdering innocent people!
The violins are amazing in this performance.
One of the most beautiful anthems in the world. Superb rendition.
Absolutely beautiful! Shout out to my German cousins from America!
This hymn is a copy of the beautiful Austrian empire hymn

Germany my beautiful country ❤🎶😍Mr Helmut S. was a great men! Rip...
Only someone who was fortunate enough to have lived consciously during his reign can truly appreciate what a great politician we have lost in this man. The best German head of government of the 20th century. He will be missed forever and we should all measure by him who come after...
@@markvms4377 no
@@hannovonbahrenfeld5986 yes
I was a teen back then, today I know whom we have lost. Having understood to some extent what it meant to have survived the war and having to build a new society and a new country I now see what men of high calibre many of them were whether it be Helmut Schmidt, Franz-Josef Strauß, Hans-Dietrich Genscher etc.

Wunderschön. Vielen Dank, aus den Vereinigten Statten.
A spiritually moving sound that rises above human tragedies with the impetus of the greatest of human compassion. Thank you Hayden for your music . Thank you Germany for being the motherland of great people that added so much to the wealth of European culture.We share the sadness of the many tragedies that have fallen on the people this great nation. From Italy, with respect and LOVE ❤
Most countries in Europe share so much history. Good or bad, it connects us all and should be cherished.
@@StrongKickMan Fully agree with you. We share all in miseries and greatness. We have millenniums of shared experience. We are travellers on a common boat going through calm and at times troubled waters. We share the same destiny and we must work together to make that boat travel safely and peacefully toward our common destiny,
Germany is a beautiful country
hi from France 🇫🇷 ❤ 🇩🇪
Wonderful keep going brotherland deutschland I'm from austria🇦🇹:)
Same country 👀
Wir lieben euch auch :))
Und die Melodie unserer Nationalhymne war mal die Melodie der österreichischen Kaiserhymne (Gott erhalte, Gott beschütze...) und stammt von Österreichs großem Komponisten Joseph Hayden. Tja, tausend Jahre gemeinsame Geschichte hinterlassen Spuren.
@@helmrichharms2225 Diese Jungs, sind unser gemeinsames Erbe und sie verbinden uns für immer...

My Grandma also had her funeral ceremony there. Can’t believe that Helmut Schmidt had it there too!
Love the effect of massed voices raised up in song. Beautiful!
One of the best national anthems in the world, just beautiful.
Fantastic version of a fantastic anthem! Let our friendship live on forever.
Greeting from your small western neighbor 🇳🇱❤️🇩🇪
Europe will not forget and will not forgive that Germany did not want to help Ukraine and wanted to have buisnesses with Russia.
You are ugly. All you wanted was blood of ukrainian children in your Nord Stream pipe lines from Russia.
At the begining of the war Germans told Ukrainian Ambasador that Germany will not help Ukraine. Ukraine will exist maybe hours and thats the end of this country. I am European. I wanted to forgive Germany Hitler's crimes but what you did in 2022... hahaha. While Poland was giving to Ukraine 250 tanks you wanted to give 5000 helmets. I hate you. But dont worry. Eastern Europe knows now that we can count on each other and not on Germany. You lost everything Germany. Nobody will accept no more your hegemony in Europe. You are traitors.
Your country may be small, but you are GREAT (and tall), our dear swamp brothers! 🇩🇪❤️🇳🇱
@@hape3862 Brüder für immer. 🇳🇱❤🇩🇪
Das ist keine Freundschaft, sondern Verwandtschaft. Böse Zungen behaupten ja, Niederländisch wäre auch nur ein deutscher Dialekt.
Eure Hymne ist auch sehr schön, klingt deutscher als die deutsche.
Ach was ein wunderschönes Gefühl. Vielen Dank.
Das ist wirklich eine besonders gelungene Version unserer Hymne. Sie klingt würdevoll, prächtig und dennoch sensibel. Wundervoll!
Greetings Germans as an American with German heritage♥️
Try to learn german
Rest in peace, Helmut Schmidt
Beautiful melody, solemn and very dignified.
Greetings from Chile.
Got to love the German people. We are one. God bless you all, my friends. ❤

I served with the Royal Air Force in Germany for almost 3 years grew to love the country and its people. Now I have several German friends for many years and love to visit the country whenever I can especially cruising on the Rhine and Moselle.
Words are different - BUT - It is in fact the same tune as "God Save the Queen" - Listen carefully. Cheers, Colonel Jack

Bravo Germany🇩🇪,I love Germany.
Lord Jesus Christ Bless Germany🇩🇪.
German made anything is great, let alone their anthem. So moving, this music. Nothing short of perfection.
GLORY TO GERMANY 🇰🇷🤝🇩🇪
The melody was composed by Haydn, and used by him twice: first, as a hymn to the Emperor and second, as the principal melody in his Emperor string quartet, No 62, and both in 1797.
A hymn sort of, but really it was conceived as a national anthem.
Haydn spent much of the period 1791/92 and 1794/95 in England and heard God Save the King often and had noted the impact, so on his return, he wrote Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser for his own country (the Habsburg Empire or Austria if you like); it’s appropriation by Germany came later.
The new Emperor’s song was an immediate hit, so as you say, he used it as the theme for a lovely set of variations in the string quartet Opus 76 No 3.
@@elaineblackhurst1509 an excellent comment, and thank you for it. a Canadian, I think of 'God Save the Queen' as a hymn more than as an anthem, for example (we have 'O Canada' for the latter purpose). given Haydn's bi-national purposes, perhaps he conceived it the same way. again, thanks
@@charlesbarber8166
Not sure I’ve understood your point: God Save the King is clearly a national anthem, as is Gott erhalte and the national anthem every other nation - they are not hymns.
@@elaineblackhurst1509 Hi Elaine. Thank you for yours. To me, a hymn honours a person or a god, and an anthem a nation or a trans-national entity. When I was growing up, we sang two such songs, in this order: God Save The Queen (Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada), immediately followed by O Canada, an apostrophe to the nation as a whole. I'm sure others see the matter differently, and fair enough. Best wishes.
The music comes from the second movement of that Emperor Quartet. It's actually a theme and variations movement, and this is the main theme. Haydn originally wrote it in G Major, but it is most often sung in Eb Major.
I was so lucky to visit Germany and have so many wonderful memories!
Christ there’s tears coming out of my ears
Beautiful Germany, Beautiful people.... God bless you for ever
You are so kind
Nichts anderes als die beste Version unserer Hymne hat Helmut Schmidt verdient . Der beste Politiker den wir je hatten ...
Finde ich auch.👍
unterschreibe ich alles!

Beatiful anthem but one of the saddest moments… RIP Helmut Schmidt!
Beautiful ❤ long live Germany 🇩🇪 😘
Deutschland uber alles
Thank you so much for your beautiful words 😊
I've always loved this anthem. Here in the UK it is sung to the hymn 'Glorious things of Thee are spoken'.
Wait there is a song to this melody at the UK? 😨
Same here in the US.
First song with that melody was "Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser"
@@a.d.1563 It is sung as a Protestant church hymn in the US with entirely different words but to the same tune. "Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion city of our God.....
@@ednorton47 ---- ok .... thats incredible.
Germany is literally the home of the lutheran-protestant church/movement but i never heard of it.
Incredible.
Thanks a lot 🙂👍
(I am not protestant myself so maybe thats my excuse 😜)
Love this anthem, grew up with it during Michael Schumachers amazing F1 career with the anthem regularly played with Schuey winning so many races.

@@ALEXANDAR7 Yeah I have always thought they sounded similar. I love both anthems.
