In Vienna, Beethoven had, from time to time, provided music to be included in theatre performances. Germania was a finale to a singspiel by Georg Friedrich Treitschke, employed at the Vienna Court Opera and later a director of the Theater an der Wien. Treitschke helped revise Fidelio for its revival in 1814 and in the same year, his singspiel Die gute Nachricht ('The Good News') provided timely celebration of the defeat of Napoleon and the Congress.
