on monday, the workers started to pull up the roofconstruction of the new waldstadion. For the last 4 weeks they were setting up the whole thing down on the field, now they are pulling it up step by step form all sides... This is how it looked on moday. Yesterday, (friday), the platform for the mediacube in the middle had allready reached a height of about 15-20 meters... this roof is the biggest construction of its kind worldwide... more news and pics --> www.neues-waldstadion.de
Well, it´s ONE part of the 1st verse in the "Lied der Deutschen". The national anthym is the 3rd verse of this song. It´s "Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit". So it´s not the refrain.
The reason it is naughty is that the first verse of the hymn is, shall we say, not allowed by the international community and the pc in Germany. I think it is time to think that whole thing over, though. The Allianz Arena will be beautiful when bathed in red, and butt-ugly when the puke-blue of 1860 is displayed...
Don't you mean gold? Those new jerseys are going to look pretty stupid when Bayern lose the title to Werder again.
All 3 verses are the official hynme. That's the truth. But officially played is only the third. PC and other stuff is dictate that.
Die deutsche Nationalhymne Die erste und zweite Strophe der Nationalhyme lauten: Deutschland, Deutschland über alles, Über alles in der Welt, Wenn es stets zum Schutz und Trutze Brüderlich zusammenhält, Von der Maas bis an die Memel, Von der Etsch bis an den Belt - Deutschland, Deutschland über alles, Über alles in der Welt! Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue, Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang Sollen in der Welt behalten Ihren alten schönen Klang, Uns zu edler Tat begeistern Unser ganzes Leben lang - Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue, Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang! Deutschland, Deutschland über alles, Über alles in der Welt! Die offzielle Nationalhymne der Bundesrespublik Deutschland (3. Strophe): Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit Für das deutsche Vaterland! Danach laßt uns alle streben Brüderlich mit Herz und Hand! Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit Sind des Glückes Unterpfand - Blüh im Glanze dieses Glückes, Blühe, deutsches Vaterland Maas bis Memel - Etsch bis Belt gelten eh nicht mehr. Letztens wollte mit irgendso ein Idiot erzählen das die ersten beiden Strophen verboten sind. Natürlich nicht, sie werden offiziell nur nicht gespielt. Ich verweise natürlich darauf das ich kein Nationalsozialist oder Rechtsradikaler bin, (muß man bei solchen Sachen wohl immer) lediglich Deutscher und Fußballfan. I'm not a national socialist or in any way a war pig, I'm just German and a Football (Soccer) fan.
@ Pile D You are definitely wrong, I´m afraid. It used to be like this until the reunification: All 3 verses were the national anthem, but only the 3rd was sung. Since August 1991 only the 3rd verse "Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit" is our national anthem. source: wikipedia.de Of course the verses 1-2 are not forbidden.
This w.. are offshore. For what you are afraid, for "Deutsche Frauen" Or for "Deutscher Wein" Don`t understand this. The first 2 are the best. And I sing this at every time when anthem the shalls. Only the first when the melody is running (with the 3rd). Standing, not with a right arm. But standing. And I still believing of intelligence in Germany. Searching, but difficult to find. But I remember in a Asia Country (don't know) the Germany vs. ???? they played it in all 3. The reporter has no words and I think: wow this should be never ending. The German Anthem, it's my favorite lovesong. I knewed my wife when it plays, (not the first and second) But the 3rd. I sing the first, and the girl came.
I don't. I am fine with the third verse as our anthem. Why should I praise a Germany from the Maas to the Memel and from the Etsch to the Belt? Seems a little bit outdated to me...
Just facts. But where exactly did I state anything about "Deutsche Frauen" or "Deutscher Wein"? Fact: 3rd verse is our anthem. What you like (Maas and Memel) I don´t give a toss...
Maas to Memel is our old "Territorum" and I want never forget that, it's historical but something to learn.
Listen, my ancestors come from Pommerania and Danzig and I will never forget their and therefore my roots! This has nothing at all to do with our national anthem being the 3rd verse!
Don't want to start a new thread: The reconstruction of the Niedersachsenstadion is getting along nice too: aerial view from the Maschsee dusk
