German State Anthem: Bavaria - Bayernhymne

Bayernhymne - Hymn of Bavaria - Regional anthem of the Free State of Bavaria (Freistaat Bayern) State of the Federal Republic of Germany (Bundesland der Bundesrepublik Deutschland)

The melody of the song was written by Max Kunz in 1835. The text for the original first three stanzas was written by Michael Öchsner. Both men were members of the Bürger-Sänger-Zunft München (Citizen-Singers-Guild Munich), that first performed the song on December 15, 1860.

In 1946, the poet Joseph Maria Lutz wrote a new third stanza as a replacement for the Königsstrophe (King’s Stanza), since after the abdication of King Ludwig III in 1918, Bavaria has been without a king. He also replaced the Deutsche Erde (German soil) in the first stanza with Heimaterde (native soil).

Bavaria anthem is moving, emotional, and church like music, all the beautiful elements without music which is so cool! Greetings as a Romanian-American from USA!!!

Greece once had this anthem!
Under the rule of King Otto, this was Greece's anthem, since Otto was Bavarian.
The Greek flag was the cross in the modern day, but the blue was more cyan-like and there was the Bavarian flag in the middle!

The Catholic homeland! My great great grandfather was from Bavaria, I’m proud to be a Bavarian-American. My real last name is Faulhaber but my great great grandfather changed his son’s surname to Garcia after he moved to Portugal.

Bavaria, more German than modern day Germany.

I am American, but my ancestors moved from the Bavarian part of the Electoral Palatinate to the British colonies in North America around 350 years ago, and I am very proud of my Bavarian heritage. In fact, my last name even means "from Bavaria." May Germany and America be forever friends, through darkness and through light 🇺🇸❤️🇩🇪🟦⬜️
