  • -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.

    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!

      @@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.
