  Heil dir im Siegerkranz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heil dir im Siegerkranz ("Hail to the Crown") was from 1871 to 1918 the inofficial national anthem of the German Empire.
The melody was the same as that of the British anthem God Save the King, and it was for this reason not well-regarded in nationalist circles.
Prior to German unification in 1870, Heil dir im Siegerkranz had been the Prussian anthem, and as such it was deemed not acceptable as the official national hymn by the southern German states (e.g.

 Das Lied der Deutschen - Simple English Wikipedia
The words were written by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben in 1841.
Fallersleben's lyrics were very popular in Germany during the second half of the 19th century as a patriotic song, but it became official national anthem in 1919, replacing the German emperor's anthem "Heil Dir im Siegerkranz" (which was sung on the melody of God Save The Queen).
Unlike the new national coulours, the Fallersleben anthem was popular with all (democratic) parties as well with the far right wing groups.

 Germany 1922-1945, 1990- - nationalanthems.info
Consequently, the first verse of the "Lied der Deutschen", beginning with the words "Deutschland, Deutschland ueber alles" (Germany, Germany above all) was originally meant as an appeal that the idea of a unified Germany should be more important than the many particular principalities which existed at that time.
However, when Germany became a united country in 1871, the "Lied der Deutschen" was ignored officially, rather the the former Prussian royal anthem "Heil Dir im Siegerkranz" was used unofficially.
Although Germany had been proclaimed a Republic on 9th November 1918 upon its defeat in World War I, it needed nearly four years until "Lied der Deutschen" was declared the new national anthem by the social democratic President Friedrich Ebert on August 11th, 1922.

The scriptural selections are divided into three movements, written for double chorus (with the exception of two short baritone solos), orchestra, and organ, and are introduced by a brief instrumental prelude of a solemn but animated and exultant character, in the closing measures of which both choirs unit in jubilant shouts of ("Hallelujah!
The theme of the movement is the German national hymn ("Heil dir im Siegerkranz"), which is worked up with consummate skill.
The first part closes with a climax of power and contrapuntal effect hardly to be found elsewhere outside the choruses of Handel.
