This means that the proposal has once again been blocked. Wouldn’t have expected that from our government TBH. Nice one!

          Hasn’t been part of it for a long time… For very good reasons. Let’s not bring it back please. I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to sing that verse in Germany and I’d rather have it stay that way.

              Sorry for sounding so harsh, I thought this was common knowledge but I appear to be mistaken. That verse was sung under the Nazi regime and essentially puts Germany above every other country and thing in the world. And that was Hitler’s goal after all.

              We stick with “Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit für das deutsche Vaterland” since the end of WW2.
