View source for Haus in Neu Berlin

Haus in Neu Berlin was the national anthem of [[Fascist Caldera|Caldera]] from 1963 until 2034. Written and composed by Wilbert Eckart and played by the band "Die Käfer", the song references a house in Neu Berlin, the 3rd largest city in Caldera. After being one of the top songs in the nation for 3 years, it was voted to become the national anthem of Caldera, as the Volkspartei described it to embody the Calderan spirit and it being a perfect representation of all Calderans.

== History ==
The music composed by Wilbert Eckart is actually a modern derivative of what was a sea shanty sang by [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] immigrants crossing the waters to Caldera. The original lyrics described founding a new house in Ceuldeland, and this was often seen as Caldera's unofficial national song for many years, being sung after winning international sports games.

In the 1900s, movements in highly populated Gothic regions of Caldera cropped up around adopting Neu Haus in Ceuldeland as the official anthem, but the Volkspartei was reluctant due to the song's promotion of independence, and the Volkspartei feared that it would encourage young children to disobey the government. 

When Haus in Neu Berlin was released by Die Käfer in 1960, it was seen as the most modern take on Neu Haus in Ceuldeland, and some movements encouraged the Volkspartei to adopt this song instead as compromise. After years of legislature, it was adopted as the national anthem in particular because of two lines; "If I had listened to my leader", and "She sold this uniform", both lines promoting nationalism and serving in the military. 

After its adoption in 1963, the Volkspartei encouraged parents to play the song at home for children for entertainment, and Haus in Neu Berlin became the most played song on the radio, especially loved by members of the military. 

Some criticize Haus in Neu Berlin for being too slow and not properly referencing Caldera as a whole, but the Volkspartei has stated that the song embodies the Calderan spirit by describing disdain for not following in a leader's footsteps, and this is more Calderan than a song devised outside of Caldera.

|Es gibt ein Haus in Neu-Berlin,
man nennt es Haus Abendrot.

Es war der Ruin vieler guter Jungs,

von mir, mein Gott litt ich not.


Hätt ich meinem Anführer zugehört

Ich wäre heute daheim

war jung und dumm

war ein armer Jung

auf den Abweg geführt und gemein.


Sagt meinem kleinem Schwesterlein

das sie mir nicht nachrennt

Soll meiden das Haus in Neu-Berlin

das Haus Abendrot man nennt.


Meine Mutter war eine Schneiderin

verkaufte diese Uniform

meine Liebste ist eine Trinkerin

mein Gott, sie trinkt gern in Neu-Berlin


Ich geh zurück nach Neu-Berlin

ein Getriebener von meiner Not

den Rest meiner Tage bleib ich dort

Dort bei dem Haus Abendrot
|There is a house in New Berlin
It is called House Sunset.

It ruined many good guys

Of mine, my God, I lived in misery


If I had listened to my leader

I would be at home today

I was young and stupid

I was a poor boy

Lead to the wrong path and mean.


Tell my little sister

That she shall not run after me

She should avoid the house in New Berlin

that is called House Sunset.


My mother was a seamstress

She sold this uniform

My sweetheart is a drunkard

Lord, she likes to drink in New Berlin


I am going back to New Berlin

I am driven by my need

I will stay there for the rest of my days

There at the House Sunset
