"Heil unserm König, Heil!" ('Hail to Our King, Hail!') was the royal anthem of the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Kingdom of Greece. The song whose lyrics have varied over the decades and which has never been formally declared a national anthem, was one of the numerous German state anthems set to the melody of 'God Save the King' which often began with the same line of lyrics.
