National Anthem: East Germany (Auferstanden aus Ruinen)

"Auferstanden aus Ruinen" (German for "Risen from Ruins") was the national anthem of the German Democratic Republic, commonly known as East Germany. 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 were selected. Becher's lyrics develop several connotations of "unity" and combine them with "fatherland" (einig Vaterland), meaning Germany as a whole, although the icy geopolitics of the Cold War would not let the anthem conform the reality to its meaning. "Auferstanden aus Ruinen" ceased to be a national anthem when the German Democratic Republic dissolved and Germany was reunited in 1990.
