The "Ostpreußenlied", also known as "Land der dunklen Wälder" or "Lied auf Ostpreußen" was considered the regional anthem of East Prussia until 1945, when the lands of East Prussia were lost to the Soviet Union, and the Polish People's Republic. However even after the destruction of East Prussia, the song is still used to this day.
