Federal anthem: Land of mountains, land on the river, land of fields, land of cathedrals, land of hammers, rich in future: homeland you are of great sons, people, gifted for the beautiful, much praised Austria. Hotly contested, wildly disputed, you lie in the midst of the continent, like a strong heart. Since early ancestral days, you have borne the burden of high mission, much-tested Austria. Bravely into the new times,free and faithful see us stride,joyful in work and full of hope!Let us unite in brotherly choirs,fatherland,and pledge allegiance to you,much-loved Austria!
