"Ich hab mich ergeben" (German: [ɪç hap mɪç ɛʁˈɡeːbən]; lit. 'I Have Surrendered'), originally titled "Gelübde" (IPA: [ɡəˈlʏbdə]; 'Vow'), is a German patriotic song. The text was written in 1820 by Hans Ferdinand Maßmann. It was one of the unofficial national anthems of West Germany from 1949 until 1952, when the "Deutschlandlied" was officially reinstated.^[1] Its tune is now used in the Micronesian national anthem.
