I believe that this fits your criteria. It's about twenty years old at this point, but has been described as Austria's "secret national anthem" and the country's answer to Waltzing Matilda. Don't ask me to transcribe the words because I can't even make them out about 30% of the time, but the tenor of the lyrics is wry and a little noir, possibly for reasons of national character and possibly for the same reason that you suspect Germany isn't "up to it yet"... but what is significant is that the notion of taking pride in one's country occurs in them. Something that is rarely enough articulated in a culture that still collectively feels uneasy about whether it can afford the luxury of patriotism.
