  National anthem - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
Few anthems have been written by notable composers.
While the music to the German anthem was written by Joseph Haydn to the words "Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser," it became notorious during the Nazi era as "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles."

The first verse begins with the notorious line "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles", but there's nothing reprehensible about it, if you consider the history and the fragmentation of Germany into lots of principalities in the first half of the 19th century.
