"Oben am jungen Rhein" (German pronunciation: [ˈoːbən am ˈjʊŋən ˈʁaɪn]; "High on the young Rhine") is the national anthem of Liechtenstein. Written in the 1850s, it is set to the melody of the British anthem, "God Save the King", which in the 19th century had been used for a number of anthems of German-speaking nations, including those of Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, and Switzerland.
