    Abstract
    France's threat in 1840 to reestablish the Rhine as its eastern border generated intense anti-French, patriotic fervor in the German territories, even in those far beyond the Rhineland. The countless Rheinlieder written as a direct response to the crisis constituted a literary, journalistic, and political phenomenon. The poems enjoyed widespread popularity and resonance among the German public and functioned as a medium of public debate, thus exerting considerable influence on the political climate and the imagining of a united Germany in the nineteenth century.
