- -History:
"Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland" or "Des Deutschen Vaterland" is a German patriotic song. The song was first performed in 1814. It called for a greater German nation of all German speaking countries under one state. It was made to stand for German unification. Germany unified in 1871. 10 years after the unification of Italy in 1861. Before unification, Germany consisted of many other German speaking states/nations. There were ideas of nations like Austria, Switserland, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein joining in the German unification, but they never did due to every one of those nations having their own complications. I suggest doing some research about these complications and why these nations never joined in on German unification. It's quite interesting!
-The maps:
I spend hours making all these maps, only to realise this version of the song misses out on a lot of verses. The original song is way longer with more verses explaining what areas would be part of a German nation, Like pommerania, Austria, Switserland or the independent states on the German coast for example. Having spend so much time on these maps I refused to not include them. So after improvising a bit, this is the result. Hope you like it!

-The record:
This is a very rare record! This version of the song has never been shown anywhere on the internet before. It is as far as I know the first vocal recording of this song. This particular recording is from 1916 and was sang by Carl Schlegel.

It has surprisingly high audio quality for 1916, and nice mapping.
Happy to hear you like the maps. It took me more then 5 hours to make them all. 💀But this rare song definitly deserves the hours spend!
@@novabrabantia Hard work gives a good result.
Makes me want to play Victoria
To the people wondering why all of Cislethania is in the map: When the song was first written in the 19th century, it contained lyrics like "Is it Austria with all its might and victories?" So I decided to add all of Cislethania to the map. I made the maps prior to hearing the song because I was so excited and used the original 19th century lyrics as a reference, not knowing my record wouldn't mention a lot of these areas like Switserland, Tirol or Cislethania for instance. Having spend more then 5 hours on those maps, I refused to not include them. Regardless, I think it still turned out to be a very nice video!

Fair, but there is no conceivable way to consider Krakow, Czechia, Galicia and Ruthenia as German, would be the main point.
@@GermanConquistador08 czechia was half german and galacia also had a huge german spread
Became a bit of the problem later; "half Czechia"
The accent of the singer is interesting. Great work on the video!
sounds a little dutch right?
@@8tcho Yeah, apparently it is the Prussian accent from the state of Niedersachsen which borders the Netherlands.
@@darkhorse3535 yeah that's true
"germany, is that a cislethania in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
Oh no! No! No!
What is there must be Bigger!

Lmao
Small correction: that's the flag of the Electorate of Saxony, the flag of the Kingdom of Saxony is green and white.
I love this song so much, i always sing it when im alone sometimes tears coming out because i understand the lyrics. reminiscences of what was once of the great Germany
ayo??
Didn’t Germany sink the Lusitania only a year after this came out?
@@josephhoward4697A year prior.

Helps me a great deal learning German!
😂😂😂
Probably the best version on this website
Austrian Imperialists be like "Oh, hell no!"
Amen
This recording is from 1916 and Austria isnt mentioned due to their ongoing alliance lmao
@@cortexradio It literally says Austria.
@mroatmanIV where? It doesn't directly say "ist österreich" but it mentions regions. I may be wrong but I didnt see Austria being mentioned directly (even tho the map did)
@@cortexradio It does not say Austria directly, but indirectly by saying "As far as the german tongue sounds" which definitely includes Austria.
Also Austria has always been a part of a german Nation. Through out all of its history Austrians have acknowledged themselves as Germans.
The national idea of Austra on its own was created after 1945, when Austria pretended to be the first victim of Nazi Germany, which in my honest opinion is not true. Before that, they wanted to be part of Germany and they were also seen as Germans.
I would still to this day consider them German, even if a lot of Austrians dont want to hear it.
Es lebe das Kaiserreich!
Amazing video as always, I always look forward to rare recordings by you :)
Das ganze Deutschland soll es sein!
Träum weiter! Eher wird Südschleswig in dänische Hände wieder heimkehren! 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
real Germany died in 1918
1945 dude. Stop being woke
Yes 1918. Look at what happened to the territory of the German empire & its fertility rate before & after the war.
@connor1414 ah hell naw 💀
1945
This is quality music.
The GrossDeutschland option didn't include all Cisleithania (just Austria, Bohemia and the Littoral) and for sure not whole Switzerland
This isn't the full version of the song. This version misses some verses from the original lyrics, in where they actually do mention Switzerland and basically all of Cislethania. I made the maps before I noticed and I refused not to use them after putting so much work into it.
Das ist des Großerdeutsches Kaiserreich von das Deutscher Nation!
Ein Lied aus besseren Zeiten.
I am curious why Galicia Lodomeria it makes the map looks kind of odd IMO
Is part of Cislethania which was Austria in the original lyrics but it’s not here in these and the creator didn’t want to redo the map
Great video! And great mapping! Just one question, where did you find the flag of Swabia?
I'm glad you like it! Honestly I have no idea. I totally forgot where I got it from and why I didn't use the generic black and red instead. But there was probably a reason for it. If I manage to figure out why, I'll let you know lol.
@@novabrabantiaokay. Btw, I subbed ;)
The flag of Würzburg during the Napoleonic Wars was that flag.
no not Galicia that looks weird
Very nice.
Love this song!
But why is all of Switzerland added and not just the German speaking parts?
I'd advice you to read the pinned comment but basically, the original first written lyrics of this song, back in the early 1800s, Mentioned areas such as Switzerland aswell. :)
@@novabrabantia oh I know that. But why all is all of it included
@@Swissswoosher Since the song mentions the question of the Swiss nation of that time, being part of Germany when it would unite.
@@novabrabantia ahhh, though Switzerland has existed in it‘s modern form far longer than this song.
@@Swissswoosher Yes I'm aware. but still. For some reason they added Switserland to the lyrics back then
Love it
I live in a space that is here marked as German, jet Germany isn't even our neighbouring country. Sad
Croatia, Slovenia, Romania, Ukraine, Lithuania or Russia, I think
@@redguy3256Croatia used to share a border with Germany
Nice but you have actually some mistakes here: The Flag of swabia is red black, and the flag baden is yellow red yellow
The flag of Baden is correct. Before they had the tri-color, it was just red and Yellow. As for the Kingdom of Würtemberg: I forgot why I used that flag instead of the plane red and black. There was some reason for it though but I cannot remember. Lol
@@novabrabantia Have you any sources for that? I never heard that and according to wikipedia and the archives of Karlsruhe it always had the tri Flags
@@peterthores9191 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Baden#:~:text=A%20red%2Dyellow%20bicolour%20was,to%20use%20this%20triband%20flag.
This is what i found on wikipedia
Noooooo!! Goodbye Cislethania 😔😔😔
I like how Google marks this as not english
best version
Danke ✌️💪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
As someone who likes the idea of a United German nation, we're not including Carpathia-Ruthenia
You mean Galicia-Lodomeria?
u mean urmomenland and bidenland?
i heard version with Sudetenland,Sachsenland,But not with tyrol

Seeing switzerland here is so cursed
everybody remembers german unification, but nobody remembers GERMAN unification ):
Whats the flag you used on swabia
Where in Germany was the singer from? The rhotic Rs make him sound like a modern american.
He was actually born in the US
All these hymnes generally rolle the r bc it give more emphasis I think
The R's, the dark L's, could've fooled me.
Ahoj fajne i ciekawe 🎵🎶🐺🐺🎶💐😃
Is it sung by a German? It doesn't really sound like that. It's either the language has changed or the singer has a strong accent
Old South German Singer, i guess because of the rolled r
Nope. This was sang by Carl Schlegel who was born in the southern US
wow i like your music
Thanks! I only deliver the best😉
based
On what?
Mega based
@@figaroo4816 On German Nationalism and unification.
I see that you included Galicia which makes no sense but regardless, Southern Croatia was administered by Vienna.
In the original lyrics written for this song (wich I based the map on), the singer talks about areas and regions like Austria with all its riches and Victories, wich made me decide to add all of Cislethania. As for the Dalmatian Coast, I didn't add it because it would spread out the entire map too much.
@@novabrabantia Galicia and Lodomeria isn't in Cisleithania
@@zwilder1I’ll Krieno ur mom
I'll Krieno your mom @zwilder1
@@zwilder1 nope. According to multiple sources, Cislethania consisted of Austria, Bohemia, Moravia, Bucovina, istria, Galicia and to a certain extend venice aswell
Slavic Czechia included, lol :-D
Czechia/Bohemia was part of the German Confederation because it was mainly German speaking. Meanwhile Moravia was defenetly not German speaking but also in the German confedaration as well as Galacia and Loredam
Just imagine if our ancestors won WW1...
"What is German Fatherland" Meantime this map having Polish in Majority Polish Provinces of Poznan and Galicja
Parts of Prussia and Austrian Cisletania.
strange song and not surprising i'd never heard of it before
Das Liebe dar Lied♡
Für Gott, Kaiser, und Vaterland! Das ganze Deutschland soll es sein!
Come back Kossuth because there's a traitor in your country, a friend of those Russians who crushed Magyar liberty several times !
How can I make these maps?
It took me a lot of time and practice on photoshop to be able to make maps like this. I advice watching some starter tutorials on how to use photoshop if you're interested in making maps like these🙃
Des Deutschen Vaterland wouldn't be very groß in just two years
fur Deuthschen
Why the map including swiss?
because they speak German
@@heartsofiron4ever oic thx
Im slovenian and would thus be either genocided or assimilated and forced to speak german under this map….but I dont even mind due to this song!
U know it's not nazi germany right? This is a pre german empire song. Considering the autonomy the narions had that joined the German empire, you would've probably be lucky and got stuck with the Austrian policies and agenda who didnt really germanise its population as much. Luckily because slovenia is such a nice country 🙃
Bolje vam je s Niemcami
@@general.t8065 idk man the Royal Prussian Commission of Poland was rather genocidal
Your missing memel
No, se vedi è lì in alto a destra

wie deutsch war galizien-lodomerien eigentlich?
Es war nicht so sehr deutsch, es war hauptsächlich von Ukrainern und Polen bevölkert.
Die Farben der großdeutschen Lösung und Bewegung sind allerdings Schwarz-Rot-Gold !
😂😂😂😂 Südschleswig muss und wird wieder skandinavischer Boden werden! 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
@@danishcommander4dk Die dänische Flagge stammt ursprüglich aus Deutschland. Die hätten wir gerne zurück !
Aus vielen Gründen ein netter Versuch aber überzeugt mich als Großdeutschen nicht
