Sei gesegnet ohne Ende

„Sei gesegnet ohne Ende“ (meaning "Blessed be Endlessly"), also known as the „Kernstock-Hymne“, was the national anthem of Austria from 1929 (replacing „Deutschösterreich, du herrliches Land“) to 1938. The words of the song were written by Ottokar Kernstock, and it used tune of „Deutschlandlied“ and „Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser“, which was composed by Joseph Haydn.Bruckmüller, Ernst. Nation Österreich. Kulturelles Bewußtsein und gesellschaftlich-politische Prozesse. Wien, Köln, Graz: Böhlau-Verlag, 1996. Page 102.

It was then replaced by „Deutschlandlied“ and the „Horst-Wessel-Lied“. „Land der Berge, Land am Strome“ is the current Austrian national anthem.
