Und so soll es weiterklingen Von Geschlechte zu Geschlecht

** Während der Ruhrbesetzung durch die Franzosen entstand die 4. Liedstrophe,gedichtet von Albert Matthäi.

During the Ruhr鲁尔 occupation by the French was(arise,come into being) the fourth Song verse, composed by Albert Matthai.

*The sentiment of the first two lines is:"Esteemed above everything in the world",(as most citizens express of their homeland) not "rulers of the world." At the time it was written, it was a call to unite the many independent states into one unified Germany.Verse 4. was a short-lived afterthought by another author and is seldom seen.Today only the third verse is the official anthem but there are movements that consider even the second verse offensive and that wish to ban the entire song.

A rare personal comment:
Think about the words in the anthems of any other country. The anthems that I understand, which are few, as I don't speak many languages, speak of strife. The French want to fertilize farms with their enemies' blood,用敌人的鲜血 Britannia wants to rule the world's oceans, the US wants to fight from the shores of Tripoli to Mexico. More modest countries speak of defense.
This anthem says:
Forget petty regional squabbling,忘记小区域争吵， unite for the common good and do nothing that would shame the name of your person or your product and thereby your country. Work with pride to earn and keep the admiration of the world.
What kind of nutcase 疯子 could find fault with 批评评头论足 those words and that sentiment?
I can't understand it but they're out there. I'm ashamed that anyone takes their criticism seriously.……
BTW, did you know that German law forbids all songs containing the words: honour, hero and fame? Law says: [punishable is] any text suggesting a soldier might become a hero or attain honour and fame.
