"Deutschösterreich, du herrliches Land" (German for "German Austria, you wonderful country") was the national anthem of Austria from 1920 to 1929. Although it was used as the national anthem, it did not enjoy any official status. It is now used as the anthem of the President and the military due to its references to defend the Austrian homeland.

The text was written by Chancellor Karl Renner in 1920, while the melody was composed by Wilhelm Kienzl.
