The Red Flag", anthem of the British and Irish Labour Parties.The tune has also been used (as a contrafactum) to carry other texts on many occasions. This was changed to grün (green) at some point in the 20th century, after the song had come to be associated with Christmas. Anschütz's version still had treu (true, faithful) as the adjective describing the fir's leaves (needles), harking back to the contrast to the faithless maiden of the folk song. The custom of the Christmas tree developed in the course of the 19th century, and the song came to be seen as a Christmas carol. The folk song first became associated with Christmas with Anschütz, who added two verses of his own to the first, traditional verse. August Zarnack in 1819 wrote a tragic love song inspired by this folk song, taking the evergreen, "faithful" fir tree as contrasting with a faithless lover. Īnschütz based his text on a 16th-century Silesian folk song by Melchior Franck, " Ach Tannenbaum". Instead, they refer to the fir's evergreen quality as a symbol of constancy and faithfulness. The lyrics do not actually refer to Christmas, or describe a decorated Christmas tree. The modern lyrics were written in 1824 by the Leipzig organist, teacher and composer Ernst Anschütz.
