Peene</a> (1811–1864) who was clearly inspired by the song <i>Sie sollen ihn nicht haben, / den freien Deutschen Rhein, / So lang sich Herzen laben / An seinem Feuerwein</i> (They must never get our free German Rhine, As long as hearts relish its fiery wine) by the German author <a href="/wiki/Nikolaus_Becker" title="Nikolaus Becker">Nikolaus Becker</a>. </p><p>The music, by <a href="/wiki/Karel_Miry" title="Karel Miry">Karel Miry</a> (1823–1899), is apparently influenced by <a href="/wiki/Robert_Schumann" title="Robert Schumann">Robert Schumann</a>'s <i>Sonntags am Rhein.</i> </p><p>Like France's <a href="/wiki/La_Marseillaise" title="La Marseillaise">Marseillaise</a>, <i>De Vlaamse Leeuw</i> is a nationalist battle song. Franco-Belgian political tension in the mid-19th century made the Flemish public mood ripe for such an expression of regional feeling. At the time, it was not meant as anti-Belgian (as it often came to be seen by Flemish separatists and their Belgicist opponents), for the "enemy" it refers to is Belgium's southwestern neighbour France, as in the 1302 <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_the_Golden_Spurs" title="Battle of the Golden Spurs">Battle of the Golden Spurs</a>. </p><p>Around 1900, the anthem was in general use among Flemish militants. </p><p>On 6 July 1973, a decree by the then <a href="/wiki/Cultural_Council_for_the_Dutch_Cultural_Community" class="mw-redirect" title="Cultural Council for the Dutch Cultural Community">Cultural Council for the Dutch Cultural Community</a><span class="noprint" style="font-size:85%; font-style: normal;"> [<a href="https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultuurraad_voor_de_Nederlandse_Cultuurgemeenschap" class="extiw" title="nl:Cultuurraad voor de Nederlandse Cultuurgemeenschap">nl</a>]</span> (the precursor of the present <a href="/wiki/Flemish_Parliament" title="Flemish Parliament">Flemish Parliament</a>) proclaimed the first two stanzas to be the official national anthem of Flanders.
