Object in view: The "Song of the Germans"

What did the music and lyrics of the song represent during its time of origin, in the Weimar Republic, under National Socialism, and in a divided Germany—and what foundation did it provide for the collection of the newly founded museum?

With Daniel Morat, curator of the 19th-century section of the New Permanent Exhibition; Pamela M. Potter, professor of German and Music at the University of Wisconsin-Madison; and Yvonne Wasserloos, professor of musicology at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg
