 NationalAnthems.us Online Forum - (Germany - former state) Waldeck and Pyrmont
Waldeck and Pyrmont was a principality in the center of Germany, consisting of Waldeck (nowadays in the northern part of Hesse, capital: Bad Arolsen) and the enclave of Pyrmont (today a part of Lower Saxony).
The history of the local anthem began in 1879, when Princess Emma zu Waldeck-Pyrmont married King Wilhelm III of The Netherlands (they are the Grand-Grandparents of the present Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands).
In 1892, Pastor August Koch from Külte (today a part of the city of Volkmarsen) wrote the modern text for the "Waldecker Lied", using the already known music of "Unter dieser Eiche laßt Euch nieder", which was regarded the unofficial anthem of the principality since the royal wedding in 1879.
