"Für Danzig" ("For Danzig") was the official national anthem of the Free City of Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland) from 1920-1939. The lyrics were written by Paul Enderling, while the music was by Georg Göhler. After the Nazi invasion of Poland and the concurrent annexation of Danzig by Germany in 1939, Das Lied der Deutschen was adopted as the official anthem, along with the Horst-Wessel-Lied.
^† Another song – In Danzig was also a semi-official anthem of the Free City, which had words by Josef von Eichendorff set to the traditional tune.
