Lonely Planet review for Fallersleben Schloss & Hoffmann Museum

Keen history students who speak German might want to visit this historic part of town to see Fallersleben Schloss (castle) and its Hoffmann Museum. In 1841, Fallersleben native August Heinrich Hoffman (1798-1874) wrote the lyrics to what would become the German national anthem (music courtesy of Joseph Hayden).

Here you'll find discussion of how his words 'über alles' (above everything) were simply a call for an end to petty inter- German fiefdoms, and how they were expunged after the Third Reich's nationalistic excesses. Take bus 206 or 214 to Fallersleben.
