Auferstanden aus Ruinen - Hymn of East Germany

Показать описание
In 1949, the Soviet occupation zone of Allied-occupied Germany became a socialist state under the name of the "German Democratic Republic" (GDR). For the nascent state's national anthem, the poet Johannes R. Becher, who later became Minister of Culture, wrote the lyrics. Two musicians, Ottmar Gerster and Hanns Eisler, proposed music to Becher's lyrics, and the version of Eisler was selected.

East Germany would eventually collapse in 1990, being absorbed by west Germany, a common legend says that a americanized west german officer saw the conservative east german army and said "We just killed the German military tradition..."

Special thanks for my friend Solaris

Hanns Eisler wrote the hymn so that it would also fit for the current German anthem text. So when reunification happened his music and the old text could have been merged....but they were stupid back in the 90s...

This anthem doesnt even contain the words "Glory to communism, socialism etc" Germans should have use this anthem after reunification as its lyrics are beautiful.

The song is not very communist but it hopes for a bright future for Germany. I honestly admire it so much.

Eine echte Hymne für Deutschland, für unsere Eltern, die Deutschland nach dem Krieg aufgebaut haben und nie mehr Krieg wollen! So sind wir erzogen worden!

Очень красивая песня. Она опровергает миф о грубости немецкого языка.
