今年是第一次世界大戰（1914）爆發110週年紀念。當年，熱忱、忠貞的戰士們就是唱著這首19世紀的戰歌奔赴前線的。戰後，魏瑪共和國 （Weimarer Republik）規定這首"O Deutschland hoch in Ehren"為各級學校的校歌之一。
"O Deutschland hoch in Ehren" is a patriotic German song written by Ludwig Bauer (1832–1910) in 1859 and set to music by Henry Hugh Pierson, an English composer resident in Germany. The song was the most popular patriotic anthem in the 19th century. http://t.cn/A6EXID4A
