"Wanke nicht, mein Vaterland," also known as "Schleswig-Holstein, meerumschlungen," or the Schleswig-Holstein-Lied, is the unofficial anthem of Schleswig-Holstein. It was composed in 1844 and first presented at the Schleswiger Sängerfest. The melody was created by Carl Gottlieb Bellmann (1772–1862). The original lyrics were written by Berlin-based lawyer Karl Friedrich Straß (1803–1864) but were rewritten by Matthäus Friedrich Chemnitz (1815–1870) shortly before the start of the Sängerfest to better reflect the prevailing atmosphere. The song expresses the desire for a united, independent, and German Schleswig-Holstein.
