The smaller German states included in this video are the ones that have anthems, and they are only either a kingdom or a grand duchy. Austria does not include in this video. ► I am supposed to add the anthem of the Kingdom of Württemberg (Württemberger Hymne), but the lyrics I saw (which start with “Von dir, o Vaterland, zu singen“) does not seem to correspond with the recordings I hear across different websites (in which they start with “Preisend mit viel schönen Reden“ instead). The apparent composer of the one with “Von dir, o Vaterland, zu singen“ opening was Peter Josef von Lindpaintner, but I can’t find any recording with these lyrics. ► Due to YouTube’s Community Guidelines on hate speech, I will not show the national and the co-national anthem of Germany from 1933 to 1945. Showing this part will risk the removal of this video as a whole. I hope you all understand. ► Patriotic and unofficial anthems are included in this video, which made this video quite lengthy. ► Fun fact: There are five recordings in this video that use the tune of the British anthem.
