" Auferstanden aus Ruinen" (German: [ˈaʊf(ʔ)ɛʁˌʃtandn̩ ʔaʊs ʁuˈiːnən]; 'Risen from the Ruins') was the national anthem of East Germany during its existence from 1949 to 1990. Background [ edit ]
By design, with slight adaptations, the lyrics of "Auferstanden aus Ruinen" can be sung to the melody of the "Deutschlandlied" and vice versa. In the 1970s and 1980s, efforts were made by conservatives in Germany to reclaim all three stanzas for the national anthem.
The verse form and the rhyme scheme are similar to both the "Deutschlandlied" and "Auferstanden aus Ruinen", the national anthem of East Germany. Accordingly, the three lyrics can be combined with the melodies.
This is a recomposition of the song but not a translation. However, the text should be changed. For example "Auferstanden aus Ruinen" doesn't simply mean "Risen from the ruins" but - much more powerful - "RESURRECTED from the ruins". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.52.154.205 (talk • contribs) 23:21, March 28, 2007
