-History
Heil dir im Siegerkranz, was the official anthem of the German empire from 1871 to 1918, replacing the Preußenlied, wich was the original anthem of Prussia. This record however, has combined both songs.
Heil dir im Siegerkranz
As mentioned above, this song used to be the offical anthem of the German empire. The melody of the song is very well known across the world. Countries like Austria and Britain even made their own renditions of the song. Allthough this song was made for German unification, some of it's lyrics and the melody itself, date all the way back to the 1700s.
Preußenlied
The Preußenlied was the former anthem of the kingdom of Prussia. After German unification in 1871, the Prussians tried to push for the Preußenlied becoming the offical anthem of the newly formed German empire. This ofcourse failed due to it's strong connection to the Kingdom of Prussia, and the opposition of Southern German kingdoms. This song replaced the song called Borussia as the national anthem of Prussia, and was succeeded by "Heil dir im Siegerkranz"
-The quality of the record
unfortunately I did not record this record myself. All credits of the audio go to / @duckcalculator
We both like collecting records and every now and then he allows me to make music videos of his beautiful collection, but he doesn't have the equipment to record digitally like I do.
Somewhere in the future there will be a improved audio recording of this song, wich you can find here when the re-upload has been made:
