- During a Bundeswehr Christmas event in Delitzsch, the first stanza of the German anthem was mistakenly played, triggering an official inquiry.
- The incident occurred on December 11, 2025, at the Non-Commissioned Officers' School barracks with over 1,000 attendees present.
- The commander promptly ordered the correct national anthem to be played and reported the mistake to superiors the same evening.
- The Bundeswehr stated that the first stanza conflicts with current values and included the civilian DJ in the ongoing investigations.
The playing of the text of the first stanza of the German national anthem is in no way compatible with our values.— A spokesperson for the army stated this in the context of the disciplinary investigations following the incident at a Bundeswehr celebration.
