"Trizonesien-Song" (Trizonesia Song) - Unofficial Anthem of Allied-Occupied Germany

With English and German Lyrics.
This version is Trizonesian-Song has an additional stanza.
"Preserving history through music."
Archivum Musicum
Description: "Trizonesien-Song" is a humorous German Carnival song written by Karl Berbuer in 1948. It took on the role of a frivolous national anthem substitute for West Germany at a time when there was no official anthem. The song is a self-deprecating, ironic statement of the three western zones' unsolved constitutional status while the three powers, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, occupied the west of Germany.

This is actually really interesting. It’s a song that sums up the confusion and embarrassment, yet unfaltering pride and optimism, of the German people in the wake of WW2 and the Nazi’s collapse. It makes self-deprecating humour of their loss and division by the allied powers, but still aims for Germany to dust itself off and get back up again. Which Germany did, indeed, do.

[@florianluo8131]

I don't really see the embarrassment in this. This is portrays them as innocent people caught up in a game. Actually the "we're indeed not cannibals, but we're in fact good kissers" line very tasteless given this came out just two years after the last ppl were industrially murdered in camps.

@@clanker3967 Babes, this is THREE years after WWII with German society having to go through decades still of self-reflection and examining who did what and what enabled their elites to do what they did - and also terrible - what enabled a lot of Nazi elites to STAY important in West German society, such as judges, polticians etc.
As a German myself this remains a very important aspect of modern German identity. We also have responsibility to keep the information on those crimes alive. - Singing a song basically stating "oh well, ooops, our bad. We are really nice, really, and now those diplomats are doing what they want with us" isnt going to fucking cut it. Not by a long shot. And it's endemic of the 50s and 60s were it needed a cultural revolt in the late 60s for this generation to do their effing homework and come clean.
A sad reflection on the fact that bc of the looming cold war, a lot of war criminals were still amongst those people singing this gleefully as the US needed elites in place. As an example: There's gay people STILL in camps/prison in 1948 sentenced and upheld by the SAME judges as pre 1945. Yes. It's tasteless.

It’s a brilliant Cologne Carnival song dealing with the post war situation in the satirical fashion typical for this genre. When the newly formed West German state didn’t yet have an official anthem, it’s first head of government, Konrad Adenauer, a former Cologne mayor, was received on his first state visit to Washington with this Carnival song which he took as a mockery or humiliation. That was actually his motivation in quickly having the third stanza of the old German anthem adopted as the new National anthem of West Germany

[@tantpis5943]

This did not happen at all. What Adenauer seems to have recalled once, off the record, is that this song was played as an impromptu German counterpart to the Belgian anthem at sporting event in the Cologne Stadium.

Dr. Ludwig, a channel about german classic, patriotic, folk and popular music gives us a bit of context about this song:
"As you might know, Germany was divided into four occupation zones after WW2:
The French zone (South-West + part of Berlin), the British zone (North-West + part of Berlin),
the American zone (South-East + Bremen + part of Berlin) -
and the Soviet zone in the east that would later become the German Democratic Republic.
From 1945 to 1949, there were only these zones and no fully legitimate German state.
But in 1947, the American zone and the British zone were (in some administrative aspects)
merged into the so-called "Bizone" to create a more cohesive state-like entity.
And in 1948,the French zone (minus the Saarland) was added as well,
thereby creating the "Trizone" as a project of cooperation.
All three parts of the Trizone were given the same currency, a new German Mark, in June 1948.
These were important steps on the road to a new (West) German state, but the Trizone still wasn't a real nation.
This song was written by Karl Berbuer, a musician from Cologne (British zone).
In 1947, he overheard somebody use the word "Bizonesien" (Bizonesia),
a little ironic wordplay to make the Bizone sound like some exotic country.
The song was first performed on November 11, 1948 -
this is an important date, since November 11 marks the beginning of the German carnival season,
the Rhineland and especially Cologne being the biggest hub of it.
With its merry melody and ironic text, the song was perfect for the carnival season, as it
expressed a certain distance to the war and was meant to encourage listeners to laugh about their own situation,
which is exactly what carnival is about. 1948 was the first official carnival season after the war,
and many people celebrated in their still destroyed cities.
The song quickly became a hit and remained popular well beyond carnival.
Since Germany was no official state at that time, it also had no national anthem.
Due to the high popularity of this song, it ended up being used as the replacement for a national anthem at various occasions,
for example athletic events. Even the occupation powers played the song themselves,
although they were mistrustful about it at first, since it was deemed to be a sign of revanchism."

- 2:26
Why does "Er hat kuktur, er hat auch geist" translates to something like "He has culture, he also has spirit" but why does the word "geist" refers to intelligence rather than spirit on the english lyrics?
- "Wir haben Mägdelein mit feurig wildem Wesien"
What does "Wesien" mean here? Google translate nor search helped, My guess is "beast"? Like "wildem Wesien" means "Wild beast"
- "Darin macht keiner ihm was vor"

[@ewrrsdadbv3898]

1. Geist can mean spirit and intelligence. It depends on the particiular sentence. For example ,,Er hat einen wachen Geist" means he is smart not he is a ghost.
2. It is Wesen not Wesien, he says it different because of the theme of the song, you couldnt now that. Wesen can mean many Things ,in this occasion it means behaviour. He means the girls are pretty wild and funky. Wild beast is not entirely wrong.

Schrecklich

Gods.... making a song about the people occupying you. Fucking hell I hate this

[@ArchivumMusicum21]

The song is supposed to be satirical, but the lack of proper anthem made this song a de facto one

Much more worse to be under N*zi occupation

As a German, I don't see what's wrong with it, it's a good song.

It’s a brilliant Cologne Carnival song dealing with the post war situation in the satirical fashion typical for this genre. When the newly formed West German state didn’t yet have an official anthem, it’s first head of government, Konrad Adenauer, a former Cologne mayor, was received on his first state visit to Washington with this Carnival song which he took as a mockery or humiliation. That was actually his motivation in quickly having the third stanza of the old German anthem adopted as the new National anthem of West Germany
