Haydn composed the music for the Habsburg dynastic anthem in 1797 (?). Later the music was used for August Hoffmann von Fallersleben's Deutschland über alles. This became the German national anthem in 1922, but was largely superseded in 1933. The last verse of the song was reinstated as the West German national anthem in 1952.

Das Deutschlandlied, "The Song of Germany"; also known as "Das Lied der Deutschen" or "The Song of the Germans", has been used wholly or partially as the national anthem of Germany since 1922. The music was written by Joseph Haydn in 1797 as an anthem for the birthday of the Austrian Emperor Francis II of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1841, the German linguist and poet August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben wrote the lyrics of "Das Lied der Deutschen" to Haydn's melody.
