The Elsässisches Fahnenlied ("The Alsatian Flag's song") was written by Emil Woerth (1870-1926) in German when Alsace was part of the German Empire (1871-1918). It was adopted as the official anthem of Alsace in 1911.
After World War I, the short-lived independent Republic of Alsace-Lorraine became part of France in late 1918.

It is nowadays considered as the Alsatian National Anthem by Alsatian Separatists.
