Default Fatherland no more? Equality boss wants German anthem change

Fatherland no more? Equality boss wants German anthem change

Berlin — A German equality official reportedly wants to change the country's national anthem to make it more gender-neutral, including by removing a reference to "the Fatherland."

The Weekly Bild am Sonntag reports that Kristin Rose-Moehring suggested replacing the word "Vaterland" with "Heimatland", which roughly translates as homeland. The newspaper reported Sunday that Rose-Moehring also proposed replacing another male-specific word, "brotherly," with "courageous."

Rose-Moehring, who speaks for the 25 equality officials in Germany's top federal departments, suggested making the change on March 8, International Women's Day.

'Deutschland Uber Alles' is still the legitimate German national anthem.
