Elsässisches Fahnenlied

The Elsässisches Fahnenlied (the "Hymn to the Alsatian Flag") was written by Emil Woerth (1870-1926) in German when Alsace-Lorraine was part of the German Empire (1871-1918). It was adopted as the official anthem of Alsace-Lorraine in 1911.

After World War I, the short-lived independent Republic of Alsace-Lorraine became part of France in late 1918.
