The lyrics taken from a poem written by Heinrich Hoffmann von Falle Sleben in 1841, came into use in 1922 after world War i. The Anthem became associated with German militarism in two wars and its words were forbidden by the conquering allies in 1945. Since 1952, Only the third verse has been Sung.
