Solidaritätslied

The urtext begins with the following verse: Kommt heraus aus eurem Loche, das man eine Wohnung nennt.

Und nach einer grauen Woche folgt ein rotes Wochenend!

The final four bars of the song repeat this chord change, ending on the dominant instead of the more natural return to the tonic, leaving the end of the song open, both musically and textually: Wessen Morgen ist der Morgen, wessen Welt ist die Welt?

Among these were Andre Asriel, Fritz Geißler, Herbert Kirmße, Günter Kochan, Siegfried Köhler, Dieter Nowka [de], Joachim Werzlau and Ruth Zechlin, some of whom were students of Eisler.

The final two bars were used as an interval signal by the East German broadcaster Stimme der DDR [de].
