„Land der Berge, Land am Strome“ (say: lant dair BERR-ɡə lant am SHTROHM-ə, meaning "Land of the Mountains, Land by the River") is the national anthem of Austria. It became the country's national anthem in 1946. The music of the song was originally thought to be composed by Mozart, but nowadays, different composers disagree. The words of the song were written by Paula von Preradović.
