Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) does not want to make any changes to text of national anm. Merkel was “very satisfied” with traditional form of hymn, said government spokesman Steffen Sally. In this way, Sally was referring to a push by equal opportunities Officer in Federal Ministry of National Affairs, Kristin Rose-Carroting (SPD).

In an internal newsletter, staff of Ministry, who has time online, suggested that in future instead of “Farland” better “Homeland” and instead of “fraternally with heart and Hand” “to sing” courageously with heart and hand “. She also referred to similar changes in national anms of Austria and Canada. A spokesman for family ministry said that it was a “personal contribution” of Equal Opportunities officer.
The new CDU general Secretary Annegret Kramp-Cart Builder said that she did not consider proposal “anything at all”. “I have never had impression that I was not meant to be with this hymn or that I am not mentioned before – and I certainly am a emancipated woman.” There have been more setbacks worldwide than progress on issue of women’s rights, even in Germany, serious problems have to be tackled in this context. As an example, she called equal pay for equal work. They believe that se are issues that politics should take care of, “and national anm should be left as it is,” said Kramp-cart-maker.
The Lower Saxony CDU chairwoman Bernd Althusmann called proposal to change national anm “absurd”. The word “fraternal” could not be replaced by “courageous” and “farland” not simply by “Homeland”, judged Althusmann. In German language, some meanings are characterised by fixed terms. “In addition to Farland, this includes mor tongue, Mor Nature, mor soil or parent company.”

However, two or countries have changed ir hymns in a more recent manner to gender. In Austria’s national anm, 2012 from bror choirs were “cheering choruses” and from home of “great sons” those “great daughters and Sons”. However, word “farland” was preserved. In Canada, O Canada was not reorganized until end of January. The Passus “True Patriot Love in all Thy sons command” (Awakening Farland Love in All your sons) is now “… in all of US command” (in all of us).
