Der Gott der Eisen wachsen ließ [Patriotic German anthem][+English translation]

- The Vaterlandslied (Song of the Fatherland) is a patriotic poem written by Ernst Moritz Arndt in 1812. It is also known by its first lines Der Gott, der Eisen wachsen ließ, der wollte keine Knechte (The God who made iron grow, did not want serfs).
The song was written to denounce the fact that several German states fought on the side of Napoleon to the detriment of their own nation. In 1812, the armies of the Confederation of the Rhine, Austria and Prussia participated in the French invasion of Russia. Many patriots such as Baron von Stein and Ernst Moritz Arndt left Germany and got positions in the Russian state.
With the music of Albert Methfessel (1785-1869), Arndt's Vaterlandslied became very popular during the German Campaign of 1813, and remained part of the canon of patriotic songs throughout the 19th and early 20th century.

Der Gott, der Eisen wachsen ließ,
der wollte keine Knechte,
drum gab er Säbel, Schwert und Spieß
dem Mann in seine Rechte;
drum gab er ihm den kühnen Mut,
den Zorn der freien Rede,
dass er bestände bis aufs Blut,
bis in den Tod die Fehde.
So wollen wir, was Gott gewollt,
mit rechter Treue halten
und nimmer im Tyrannensold
die Menschenschädel spalten.
Doch wer für Tand und Schande ficht,
den hauen wir zu Scherben,
der soll im deutschen Lande nicht
mit deutschen Männern erben.
O Deutschland, heil’ges Vaterland!
O deutsche Lieb’ und Treue!
Du hohes Land, du schönes Land!
Dir schwören wir aufs neue:
Dem Buben und dem Knecht die Acht!
Der fütt’re Krähn und Raben.
So ziehn wir aus zur Herrmansschlacht
und wollen Rache haben.
Lasst brausen, was nur brausen kann,
in hellen, lichten Flammen!
Ihr Deutschen alle, Mann für Mann
fürs Vaterland zusammen!
Und hebt die Herzen himmelan
und himmelan die Hände,
und rufet alle, Mann für Mann:
Die Knechtschaft hat ein Ende!
Lasst klingen, was nur klingen kann,
Trompeten, Trommeln, Flöten!
Wir wollen heute Mann für Mann
mit Blut das Eisen röten,
mit Henker- und mit Knechteblut,
o süßer Tag der Rache!
Das klinget allen Deutschen gut,
das ist die große Sache.
Lasst wehen nur, was wehen kann,
Standarten wehn und Fahnen!
Wir wollen heut uns Mann für Mann
zum Heldentode mahnen:
Auf, fliege, stolzes Siegspanier,
voran dem kühnen Reihen!
Wir siegen oder sterben hier
den süßen Tod der Freien.

Because they start to erase the Heino-versions of this song from TH-cam, I will try to bring in some other versions at least. Enjoy!
It is a great version.
Oofs! Yeah, sorry to hear that, the Heino version by far was one of the better versions of this ever made. Of course, almost ANYTHING by Heino is automatically going to be awesomesauce. :)
Faszinierend. Vor allem weil es noch andere (deutsche) Kanäle gibt, auf denen Heinos Version zu sehen ist... Mich stört das nicht, da ich mit Heino eh nicht viel anfangen kann, da mir die Instrumentalisierung zu kitschig ist, aber es wirft schon Fragen auf, nach welche Kritierien auf der "besten Platform aller Zeiten" Zensur (bzw. dessen Euphemismus "Urheberrechtsverstoß") vorgenommen wird...
Great video, thanks doctor! 👏👏
Would love to hear Heino singing this! But regardless -- this one's a great rendition too. A lot of love and work go into these uploads, the lyrics with perfect translations, and lovely images.. Thank you!
For context: (grab some schnapps)
After Prussians very impressive strength under Frederick the great, the army experienced 3 decades of stagnation and the once most powerful army in Europe (the world by extension let’s be honest) became largely outdated by the turn of 1800s.
When Napoleon promised Hanover to Prussia but then offered it to the UK in exchange for peace, Prussian king Frederick William the 3rd was advised to declare war for honours sake. Prussia also hated Napoleon before this and almost was involved in the 1805 campaign against him
However in 1806 Prussia issued France an ultimatum, without consulting her allies, Prussia went to war.
In 1806 a largely outdated Prussia army was smashed at the twin battles of Jena-Auerstadt and was defeated in a month.
While yes Napoleon was an amazing military leader and France was very strong, the news of Prussians rapid defeat was a shock to many.
After 1807 at the treaty of Tilsit, Prussia lost a lot of recently acquired polish lands and her army restricted to 34,000 men.
A board of enquiry was established to find out what went wrong. Over 100 generals were sacked and only Von York (who the song is named after) and Blücher remained in command.
Military thinkers such as Sharnhorst, Gnaisanau, and Clausewitz helped modernise Prussian doctrine. Copying the french model but also experimenting with new ideas, such as using mixed cavalry and infantry units, rather than the usual method of having a huge cavalry reserve which would be sent in independently to exploit opportunities, the Prussians experimented with having smaller close cavalry support, allow a degree of free thinking meaning local small gains could be rapidly exploited. This had pros and cons as it spread the cavalry too thin to have much power, but meant locally they could often have more force than the french. This doctrine would eventually lead to the ww2 combined arms and blitzkrieg tactics with armour and infantry in close support. This was the genesis of this tactic
Prussia also introduced skirmishes in larger numbers and new infantry formations, with commanders more thoroughly trained and allowed a larger degree of free thinking.
During the 7 years war being very deliberate and disciplined in a slow moving perfectly formed army was THE best method to win, but by the Napoleonic era speed and shock were more prevalent, Prussia had to learn fast.
The Prussian staff, used the ‘Crumper’ system, this meant every man had to complete 1 year military service, and then did 2 years reserve, this meant on paper Prussia’s army was around the allowed 34,000, but due to the rotation system of having 7 new men in and 7 out every month, after a few years majority of Prussians men were trained soldiers and ready to be called up.
Prussia next saw action on the same side as Napoleon in 1812, where they were obliged to help him invade Russia. Prussian forces saw little action with the notable exception of Lithuania on the road to Riga. Prussian and Russian forces engaged in a town battle and something notable happened here, the only flag standard the Russians lost in the ENTIRE campaign was captured by Prussian dragoons. The battle was a draw and not much else happened. This flag was later returned to Russia in 1830 in exchange for a Prussian colour captured in the 7 years war.
At the end of 1812 many Prussians began to defect and local commanders organised cease fires with Russian. In 1813 Prussia switched sides and joined Russia and Austria and Britain against France.
THIS SONG is about the 1813 revenge period
In may 1813 at the battle of Lutzen and then Bautzen, Prussia engaged France once more. Napoleon remarked ‘these animals have learned something’
Prussian forces had decent success in the 1813 campaign against France, Blücher even defeating Napoleon on 1 occasion, but also being defeated 3 times in turn 😉
Prussia suffered another humiliation in 1814, Blüchers army of Silesia outnumbered Napoleon 2:1, yet it was defeated 4 times in 6 days, and suffered 6000 casualties compared to Napoleons 600!! Blücher and a mental break down, however Prussia reformed alongside its allies and France was soon defeated.
Prussians had a deep resentment for France, deep rooted in history. Blücher tried to blow up the Jena bridge to erase Prussians earlier defeats, this failed.
Prussia then kept many veterans in reserve as the Congress of Vienna tension was rising between the allied powers, however in 1815, Napoleon had slipped his bonds, and returned to France!!
The coalition declared him an outlaw and began mobilising against France, with the closest armies being Wellingtons and Blüchers army of Belgium.
Napoleons Armiee de nord launched a strike into Belgium, his aim to separate the allied armies, defeat them and occupy Brussels. He then hoped to negotiate a settlement from a position of strength.
French double agents informed Prussian officers that Napoleon planned to come between the allied armies and mons. This meant rather than move east, Prussian forces moved north.
On June 15 Wellington and Blücher met and promised to support each other. On the 16th the battle of Lingy took place. A near equal size Prussian and french army collided, with savage street fighting involving capturing, losing, and counter attacking small villages, fighting was uncharacteristically savage for the time, but both french and Prussians bayoneting enemy wounded and executing prisoners. Prussian infantry displayed great discipline and skill forming squares and fending off cavalry, and believe best form of defence was aggressive attack, the main villages changed hands several times, often with groups of 3, 10 or 30 men skirmishing across houses and fighting house for house.
Eventually, after equal fighting the french managed to drive the Prussians off and break their centre, however the flanks remained intact in withdrew in good order. Prussian field Marshall Blùcher launched a last min cavalry charge to allow time for the main army to escape. Shouting ‘forwards in the devils name!’ Charged the french centre and had his horse killed under him, pinning him under his dead horse with 2 brigades of french curassiers stampeding over his head. He eventually escaped and the landwher formed an impressive rear guard keeping the french at bay for 5hrs until they ran out of ammo.
The french were uncharacteristically lazy and didn’t Pursue the Prussians until 12pm the next day. Crucially Napoleons scouts reported the Prussians were retreating EAST back to Prussia, when in reality they moved north towards Wellington. There was also a lot of mis trust of the English as the promised support never came at lingy, however Blùcher insisted they move north and stay in contact with Wellington.
Carl Von Clausewitz who was at lingy, stated “given the circumstances there is nothing out of the ordinary regarding this battle, in which 78,000 men lost to 75,000 men, by a very slight tipping of the scale, and with no real gains for the victor aside from 21 guns and a few thousand prisoners”
In total Prussia suffered 16k casualties and the french 15k. Lingy was the first real solo Prussian effort against Napoleon since 1806 and they had acquitted themselves well.
The final main engagement of the Napoleonic wars was Waterloo. In which the Prussian effort is highly understated.
From 1pm onwards, Prussian troops began occupying the outskirts of the village of plancenmois on the french right flank, 2hrs after Napoleon had engaged wellingtons Anglo/German/Dutch army. The Prussians began street fighting against the friend young guard for the village, with brutality again being exhibited on both sides, by 4pm 20,000 Prussians had forced their way through most of the village, french wounded were thrown from roofs, bayoneted or even strangled. The same was done to Prussian wounded when the french made minor gains back. When the Prussians had captured most of the village, Napoleon sent his elite old guard grenadiers, they quickly retook the village with a bayonet charge, massacring the wounded in turn.
French elite units were then sent against the British, and again like a tidal wave 30,000 Prussian infantry stormed the village, by 8pm both the Prussian and British had the upper hand, with Wellington driving off the french middle guard and the Prussian cavalry breaking through on the french right and rear, causing a general route!
This allied victory ensured Napoleons final defeat, Blücher wants to call the battle ‘la belle alliance’ after Napoleons head quarters, and to emphasise the joint effort. However the British ‘Waterloo’ prevails.
The crucial role of the Prussians ensured victory, something the British down played for their own political reasons. The reality is french Marshall Ney (who often is criticised as incompetent at Waterloo) correctly sensed weakness in the British centre, and launched a charge of cavalry squadrons to prevent the British from reforming and to instead pin them in squares. These squares would have been very vulnerable to french infantry which would have swept them away and likely won the battle, however when Ney needed infantry, there were NONE available, as reserve units were quickly redirected to face the Prussians at Plancenmois, meaning for 2hrs Ney wasted the cavalry keeping the British pinned down hoping infantry would be available, it never came in time.
It stands to reason if the french guard units facing the Prussians were free to attack the British centre, the battle would have ended very differently….
After this era, Prussian doctrine of close support, aggression and a high quality of leadership transformed them into the foremost army in Europe that would dominate the continent for over a centrist right up until the end of world war 2.
@Rhys Nichols Thank you for the history lesson!
@Rhy Nichols
No offence.
Nice work, I also studied all of Napoleons Campaigns.
One think is clear we cannot believe anything what is written in official History books.
Napoleon was not this great General and Wellington not all.
On Napoleon Side fought from beginning german Contingents for Ex Baden, short after Württemberg, Bayern and so on.
This Bastard Napoleon has send always the germans first into the Battle at the most dangerous Positions, but you cannot read anything, about that.
The most Victories of Napoleon, was thanks to the bravery and the bloodtoll of his german Troops.
After the defeat of the Battle a the Beresina, 1 Regiment Baden Hussars secured the retreat of Napoleons Troops over the Beresina and rescued so tens of thousends lives and lost over 50% of his personal only during this duty, besides the defeated about 400 Kosacs and more.
Yiu can nothing.read.about this bravery in any official History books, this is just 1 examble of many.
The Baden Contigent was led by a new very young 20yo Commander, Markgraf Wilhelm of Baden a son of Großherzog Friedrich von Baden the Ruler of Baden in this time.
Markgraf Wilhelms Adjudant published after his death a book: "Denkwürdigheiten des Generals der Infantrie Margrafen Wilhem aus den Feldzügen von 1809 bis 1815 nach dessen eigenen hinterlassenen Aufzeichnungen" about the Russian Campagain, what he personally experienced.
This is the entire truth, but not drastically enough, like what I read in the diaries of some simple Baden Soldiers.
There you can find the truth and in some diaries of about 100 Baden Soldiers of 6500 who just survided the Russian Campaign.
The Baden Troops was a Part of the 26. Division under the Command of General Herman Willem Daenels.

This song perfectly summarized the German mentality that I always adore. They will never submit to a foreign rule, no matter how powerful those foreigner are.
Germany can be defeated, subdued, or even coerced. But eventually they will fight back and they will have their revenge.
Es lebe den DEUTSCHLAND!!! Glory and Honor to the greatest nation on earth!!!🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
This is my first time listening to this song, but I already love it. The message of persistence and vigilance against tyranny as well as a commitment to acting justly and honorably is awesome.
Listen to Heinos version. Its a bit better imo
That is my I love this song so much
The Heino version is still on my Odysee account!
Mit Blut das Eisen röten,

This is an excellent Napoleonic Wars Prussian song, probably my new favorite from the period. It really conveys the will of not only the Prussian people, but German people as a whole to overthrow French occupation and tyranny in the Befreiungskriege or “war of liberation” of 1813. This is one of the most fascinating periods of German history and if you upload any more Prussian/German songs from the Napoleonic Wars in the near future, that would be splendid! Sehr gut Herr Ludwig! 🇩🇪

Wonderful song. It also wonderfully summarizes many of our values, that also fit our democracy. The fight for freedom and free speech.
Make Prussia Great Again.
Democracy is killing Europe. You can have free speech, Liberty and be freedom in many forms of governance, not just muh democracy
Fast schon ungewohnt nicht Heinos wunderschöne Stimme zu diesem Lied zu hören
Aber trotzdem wunderschön
Ernst Moritz Arndt the writer of this Poem fought in the Resistance against Napoleon.
After the first defeat of Prussia he had to flee to Sweden and worked from Sweden against Napolean, for a while, before he came illegally back.
He wrote many patriotic Poems.
Er war ein echter deutscher Patriot, mit Leib und Seele.
„Wer das Schwert trägt, der soll freundlich und fromm sein wie ein unschuldiges Kind, denn ich ward ihm umgürtet zum Schirm der Schwachen und zur Demütigung der Übermütigen. Darum ist in der Natur keine größere Schande, als ein Krieger, der die Wehrlosen misshandelt, die Schwachen nöthet, und die Niedergeschlagenen in den Staub tritt.“
Katechismus, S. 31
"Wer aber für den Tyrannen ficht und gegen Gerechtigkeit das mordische Schwert zieht, dessen Name ist verflucht bei seinem Volke und sein Gedächtnis blüht nimmer unter dem Menschen.“
Katechismus für den Teutschen Kriegs- und Wehrmann, Köln 1815, S. 10
„Der Mensch soll gehorchen mit Freiheit und das Rechte tun, weil es seinem Herzen gefällt. Und es sind viele Laster schändlich zu nennen, doch das Schändlichste von allen ist ein knechtischer Sinn. Denn wer die Freiheit verlor, der verlor jede Tugend, und dem zerbrochenen Mut hängen die Schanden sich an. Wer mit hündischen Sinn das Rechte verschweiget, der umschleicht mit dem Unrecht bald auch das Recht.“
Katechismus, S. 8
„Es sind oft blutige Tyrannen gewesen, welche Freiheit und Gerechtigkeit zu vertilgen ausstanden...“
Katechismus, S. 24
After the defeat of Napoleon in der Völkerschlacht bei Leipzig, he wrote the following:
"Hinter sich aber ließ er fast sein ganzes Geschütz, und mehr als 100.000 Tote, Verwundete, Gefangene und Versprengte; dazu alle Lazarette voll vieler Zehntausende von Kranken und Verwundeten aus den früheren Schlachten. Auf seiner Flucht von Leipzig nach Mainz verlor er durch Gefechte, Ermattung und Hunger fast noch die Hälfte des übrigen Heeres und brachte von 400.000 Mann, die er seit dem verflossenen Winter wieder in Teutschland zusammen getrieben hatte, nicht mehr als 80.000 Mann über den Rhein, in einem so elenden Zustande, dass die Hälfte davon gewiss durch Krankheiten umkommen wird. So hatte auch in Teutschland Gott Gericht gehalten über die Bösen.“
Katechismus, S. 23/24
Er hatte eine sehr hohe Kriegsmoral und seine poetische Ausdrucksweise ist Gold!
Found a poetic translation....
The God who made the iron grow,
Never wanted slaves or chattel,
He gave man saber, sword, and spear,
To fight his righteous battle!
He gave to him his heart and breath,
His passion of expression,
So he would fight unto the death,
‘Gainst tyrants and oppression.
And so what God ordained to keep,
We’ll keep with holy fervor,
And never in a tyrant’s pay,
Will we a man’s life sever.
But if for lies or shame he stands
Our swords are sworn to end it!
He shall not share this German land,
That German men defended
O Germany, O Fatherland!
O German love and ardor
You noble land, you splendid land!
We pledge to fight the harder!
To traitors and to knaves, watch out!
You’ll feed the crows and ravens,
We march unto the bloody fray,
Avenging misdeeds craven!
Let roar what only roaring can,
In flames that burn forever
You worthy Germans, man for man,
Let’s win this fight together!
May heaven aid us in our stand,
Its laws we have defended!
Proclaiming Germans, man for man:
That slavery is ended!
Fantastic translation!
