Das Grundgesetz ist 70 Jahre alt!


The Bundesrepublik Deutschland was founded in May 1949, which means it and the Grundgesetz (basic law/constitution) are 70 years old this year!

Bodo Wartke, a popular German piano player and singer, performs a rap of the first five articles of the Grundgesetz.  It's fantastic!  

It's fast, but you can download the lyrics as a pdf here: https://www.bodowartke.de/seiten/download.php?id=7645 

I think it would be great to do with an upper level class as part of a unit on the German government and history.
