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. https://www.news24.com/World/News/fa...hange-20180304 |

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