I know this song isn’t about Franz Josef I but hearing this song and seeing the picture of him on his knees praying for the expedient victory and safe return of his troops in World War One is really tear jerking. Especially when you hear the stories of how he broke down into tears when his troops were slaughtered in Galicia. He truly was the people’s emperor, he woke up at 4 am nearly everyday believing god had put him on earth to serve the empire. Even during the war he delegated his time to helping widows and families of fallen soldiers.

The first version of the text was composed by Lorenz Leopold Haschka (1749-1827) in 1791, and began with a greeting to the newly enthroned Emperor Franz the Great, then known as Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser. It was sung publicly for the first time in 1797 and the music was composed by the great Joseph Haydn himself

Remember fellow Austrians: Always use those lyrics as soon as the German anthem comes up to either confuse or tease them.

Actually Franz's eldest son was named Ferdinand, not Franz, so when he inherited the crown in 1835 the lyrics were changed. The opening lines were "Segen Öst'reichs hohem Sohne / Unserm Kaiser Ferdinand!" The original lyrics were briefly restored when Ferdinand abdicated in 1848 and was succeeded by his nephew Franz Josef, but a third set of lyrics ("Gott erhalte, Gott beschütze / Unsern Kaiser, unser Land!") was adopted in 1854.

He truly cared about the many ethnicities in the empire and had big plans to create a federal government where all the ethnicities have their own state and had equal rights (governed similarly to the US).

@@rathinmajumder441 I’m not sure whether the Habsburg emperors were too heavy handed or too light handed towards their fiefs (the granting of which you could argue had been in itself too light handed, though standard at the time), because in one sense the reformation wars and thirty years war were caused by imperial heavy handedness, however being more light handed after these wars caused each duchy and Kingdom of the empire to act near-independent and eventually allowed for them to join Prussia in a new empire. So really once the reformation started the Habsburgs were at first too heavy handed, causing the wars, but then later being forced by the Treaty of Westphalia and the Congress of Vienna to be too light handed (these treaties granted religious freedom and limited sovereignty to all German Imperial duchies and kingdoms, limiting the Habsburgs power in their own realm). Youre right though, had the Empire won these wars, and the Habsburgs successfully reinstated Catholicism throughout Germany, history could have turned out completely different.

The fact how uniting such a song can be is fascinating. I really like classic music but also other titles and yet these types just give me goosebumps. You can think of monarchy and royalty what you want but one of the best anthems - even if not used anymore - were created out of dynesties from most countries from nobles, royalties under monarchist systems. Everytime when I think of a Pan-German Empire of the size of the German Confederation just incoorperating Prussia fully and Luxembourg (idc if with or without Alsace), united under the habsburgs, EXACTLY this song plays in my head. Gott erhalte, Franz den Kaiser, unseren guten, Kaiser Franz! Bin übrigens selbst Deutscher und hin und wieder Faziniert von Österreich's vergangenheit wenn man sich anguckt wie klein es nun ist. Viel Gesundheit und Freude meine Deutschen Kameraden und Österreichischen Gebrüder.

This is an eternal piece of music which stirs up royalty of the highest!🎼🎶🇩🇪👑🎹❤️👍🌹❗

This melody is from the Second Movement of String Quartet no. 62 (The Emperor Quartet)in C major by Franz Joseph Haydn. It has such a delicate softness and nobility performed instrumentally. Unfortunately, the melody got usurped and used by Hoffmann von Fallersleben in “Deutschland, Deutschland Über Alles,“ and became the national anthem of those German states which are now in Germany. I always however associate it with Austria and the Habsburg Emperors. It really belongs to Austria. At the same time, I also appreciate Austria’s National Anthem, “Land der Berge, Land am Strome.” It’s really beautiful, but in my heart I feel a longing for that original Kaiserhymne by Haydn.

Austria-Hungary was only country out of 3 that held polish territory, that let our culture exist and even bloom. Sadly, then the new times have come and multinational empire fell... Boże, chroń cesarza! We never forgot about you, Emperor Franz!

Ich finde es so wunderbar, wenn ein "Salvatore de Valeriani" sich selbst als "a Austrian" bezeichnet. Alle Umerziehungsversuche der Nationalisten in den ehemaligen Ländern der Habsburger-Monarchie haben also doch nicht ganz den von den Nationalisten erwünschten Erfolg gebracht. Noch immer scheint "Viribus Unitis" in den Länder der Habsburger lebendig zu sein. Wenn auch nur vereinzelt. I think it's so wonderful when a "Salvatore de Valeriani" calls himself "a Austrian". All attempts at re-education by the nationalists in the countries of the former Habsburg monarchy have not quite achieved the success desired by the nationalists. "Viribus Unitis" still seems to be alive in the countries of the Habsburgs. Even if only sporadically.

[@arthur5465]

Leider stimmen die Lyrics immer noch nicht Hier nochmal die richtigen: 1. Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser, unsern guten Kaiser Franz! Hoch als Herrscher, hoch als Weiser steht er in des Ruhmes Glanz. Liebe windet Lorbeerreiser ihm zu ewig grünem Kranz. Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser, unsern guten Kaiser Franz! 2. Über blühende Gefilde reicht sein Zepter weit und breit. Säulen seines Throns sind Milde, Biedersinn und Redlichkeit. Und von seinem Wappenschilde Strahlet die Gerechtigkeit. Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser, unsern guten Kaiser Franz! 3. Sich mit Tugenden zu schmücken, achtet er der Sorgen wert. Nicht, um Völker zu erdrücken, flammt in seiner Hand das Schwert; sie zu segnen, zu beglücken, ist der Preis, den er begehrt. Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser, unsern guten Kaiser Franz! 4. Er zerbrach der Knechtschaft Bande, hob zur Freiheit uns empor. Früh erleb’ er deutscher Lande, deutscher Völker höchsten Flor und vernehme noch am Rande später Gruft der Enkel Chor: Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser, unsern guten Kaiser Franz!

I’ve even heard of Croatians who would have him back as King, if royalty came back to this nation. They used to sing this anthem in Croatian as well. Must have had some positive influence to be so well regarded by people outside the German speaking areas.
