Trizonesien-Song

The partition of Germany in 1948

"Trizonesien-Song" ('Trizonesia Song') is a humorous German carnival song written by Karl Berbuer [de] 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.
