It's still the German anthem, it's not especially Nazi.
Are you saying the modern German anthem is the same as the Nazi era German anthem?
More or less. The Deutschlandlied) is the hymn of Germany since before the Nazi era, wasn't changed by the Nazis and still is today. But today only the third stanza is officially the hymn. However, people often sing the first one, which is the most well known.
During the Nazi era, there were a second hymn, which is more directly linked to this ideology.
However, people often sing the first one
Correction: Nazis - and only nazis - often sing the first one.
Are you sure? I may be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time, but I have the impression that people sing easily “Deutschland über alles”.
(For context, I never lived in Germany, but always near the border, so I have sometimes a distorted vision of what occurs there)
The first stanza is not officially banned but it's only really sung by nazis or edgy teenagers.
Okay, thank you both for the correction !
Wow, it is refreshing to see someone recognize being mistaken, accept the correction, and be thankful to have learned something, so thank you as well.
The "Horst-Wessel-Lied", also known by its opening words "Die Fahne hoch", was the anthem of the Nazi Party from 1930 to 1945. From 1933 to 1945, the Nazis made it the de-facto co-national anthem of Nazi Germany, along with the first stanza of the "Deutschlandlied". The "Horst-Wessel-Lied" has been banned in Germany and Austria since the end of World War II.

Yes. But this politician sang the Deutschlandlied, not the Horst-Wessel-Lied.

Licking toilets is a fetish with no other people involved or harmed. Gross is an understatement in this case but whatever.
Much bigger problem is fdp, those are a highly professionalised bunch of assholes who systematically destroy democracy and sense of community in Germany. They are a threat to the country like cdu and afd.
Reading the title, I wasn’t sure if it was a sex thing or if he was demonstrating the cleanliness of German public toilets.
