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