Wanke nicht, mein Vaterland ("Do not falter, my fatherland"), also known as Schleswig-Holstein, meerumschlungen ("Schleswig-Holstein, embraced by the sea") or Schleswig-Holstein-Lied is the unofficial anthem of Schleswig-Holstein. It was written in 1844 and presented at the Schleswiger Sängerfest. The tune was written by Carl Gottlieb Bellmann (1772–1862). The text had originally been written by Berlin-based lawyer Karl Friedrich Straß (1803–1864) but rewritten by Matthäus Friedrich Chemnitz (1815–1870) shortly before the start of the Sängerfest in order to represent the then atmosphere in a better way. The song expresses the wish for a united, independent and German Schleswig-Holstein.

Schleswig-Holstein, meerumschlungen,
Deutscher Sitte hohe Wacht,
Wahre treu, was schwer errungen,
Bis ein schönrer Morgen tagt!
Schleswig-Holstein, stammverwandt,
Wanke nicht, mein Vaterland
Schleswig-Holstein, stammverwandt,
Wanke nicht, mein Vaterland!
