  • It's just a rumor that it's written by Friedrich.

  • Germany is a proud country of proud people. Twelve years of unfortunate history should not define a nation seventy years on.

  • @Myles0Harcourt Totally agreed. Especially because before those 12-13 years, there was already a German Imperial history of nearly 1000 years... People shouldn't let the nazis screw up everything good Germany stood for and stands for...

  • This melody was part of the state-owned cultural property of Prussia,

    the German Empire, and the Third Reich.

    However Poland was one of the victorious Allied powers of World War Two

    and has the right to claim this cultural property as war reparations.

    On behalf of Poland and the Polish people

    I hereby claim this melody as war reparations

    and rename it as the "European Presidential March"

    and rededicate it to the European common domain for use by all Europeans.

    Vivat Europa!

  • @LuluPolska1 Damn European Nationalist. Please believe in sovereign nations rather than this failed EU project. Zu Eben Und Zu Sterben, Fürs Heil'ge Vaterland!

  • かっこいいー(#^.^#)この曲好き

  • Thanks to Prussia and Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben. He is credited with being one of the fathers of the Continental Army and we used his manual until 1812.

  • Zum Thema : Menschen die wie Juden aussehen.

    Google

    Vorderasiatische Rasse und Armenische Legion

  • @Verfassungsschutzer Das Thema hat hier nix zu suchen. in der Zeit gabs sowas noch net also HAU AB!

  • This is my favorite German march! It's such a masterpiece!

    @ some of the comments idk, i'd rather have the Germans at my back than the Russians xD

  • DONT MENTION THE WAR! I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it.

  • @BasilFawlty4444 that is from fawlty tower

  • @1FishJelly yup thats the idea

  • DONT MENTION THE WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • DONT MENTION THE WAR!

  • Reminds me of when Barry Lyndon "volunteered" for the Prussian Army!

  • Considering the power and timelessness of this military music with the glory days of Prussia and the history of early german confederation, it is no wonder Nazi-Propaganda, for their inability to create lasting music of their own, hijacked most of these marches into their repertoire to fake continuity of a 3rd Reich which lasted only 12 years 1933-45 and devastated Europe. Unfortunately People do not differentiate and paint all with the same swastika brush.

  • I like this march! Russian Emperor Paul I was a great admirer of Frederick the Great and he ordered to play this March in Russian army. It is so pure, so glorious, so radiant! I love it!

  • @maurerfreude

    unfortunately, it pissed off the Russian army, along with the temporary change in uniform-to a Prussian one (the Russian army was, until Peter's accession fighting-and winning on-the Prussian army; Prussia's plight being a natural consequence of being surrounded by enemies.) it made his deposing all the easier for Catherine the great, his wife.

    not to take away from Friedrich II's greatness, but that was what happened

  • 72 paces / minute was until 1889 in the German army. As in all armies, they startet with the left leg, because unlike me, most peoples are rigthhanded and so the rigth leg is the one they stay on. The commando is in German "Antreten", and "Links" and "Links" and so on, when exercising. During the march, the takt of the 72 paces was given by the drums, the melody was given by the pipes. By the way, Nr.15, 1. Battalion and Nr. 6 were the King's Guard. Sorry for my poor English, it's not my tongue.

  • The Hohenfriedberger March is written without trio, that's a sign of all oldprussian marches. To the staff of a Prussian Regiment belonged: 1 Tambour, 6 Hautboists (Musicians) 6 Pipes. Every Infanteryregiment has had 36 Tambousrs. For every company 3 and an Prussian Infanteryregiment has had 12 Companies. Drums and Pipes where the traditional Instruments in Military.

    On the march the Oldprussian army made 72 paces / minute, according to pulse rate. Only the manoever were made faster.

  • I wonder if there is a flute and drum version of the Hohenfriedberger like this watch?v=cDKn3nl9FeY&feature=re­lated (apart from the one in Barry Lyndon).

  • Good song to go with a good army (Prussia) but I think not as good as the british grenadiers, but thats just my opinion.

  • la vieille Europe doit se reveiller et reprendre le rang mondial qui lui est du

  • Ah Friedich the Great, the enlightened despot. I always smirk when I hear the saying of Voltaire; Where some states have an army, the Prussian Army has a state!

    Glory and prestige to all of them during that period of man

  • @Kholdstare1987 You're absolutely right: that is a great quote, but actually it was Mirabeau who said that.

  • heihab total bock auf bissl chatn wer will der kann sich ja bei mir melden

  • Anyone who counted Voltaire among his friends could never be far from truth or justice!

  • i just red some of the comments and seriously are some stupid kids talking about nazis in here? this has absolutely nothing to do with them and prussia was a great country! this marsch owns! stupid kids go to school!

  • Im glad I returned to this video, so i could see how narrow-minded the Germans are to give me 7 thumbs down for telling the truth about the term "Germanic" and giving my opinions about the idolised Frederick. i can tell you this - on at least two occasions Seydlitz was the one to win a battle for Frederick . Furthermore, it was a regimental colonel who found the gap in the Austrian line at Prague and used it to roll up the Austrian flank and thereby win the battle - it was not the king´s call.

  • and? so what? we both know that history is full of untrue legends. nevertheless "Friedrich der sogenannte Große" has his deserved place in history, even beause of other merits.

  • yeah, so what, to hell with the truth, right? But certainly, he has desreved his place in history, no doubt about that. And yes, history is full of legends, but shouldn´t we at least try to eradicate those that we know the truth about?

  • We have to look for the truth of course. But honestly: according to an objective view on the history of Prussia I don´t have any hope that something like a world´s view will ever be fair or neutral. And to you: those guys who gave you a thumb down - are they typical for all Germans? And let´s say they are, don´t you give them the right to be at least a little bit patriotic ? (as I often saw that from Swedish guys). I guess you should calm down a bit ..... xD

  • If anybody claims that he doesn´t generalise, he´s a liar. You know very well that you are being a bit too sanctimonious now. And yes, they can be patriotic, I too am patriotic, and that´s exactly why i feel a bit cranky when the Germans, in general, claim ownership of the term "germanic". Because as i said, the germanic race includes Swedes, Norwegians, Danes, Dutch, Finland-Swedes, Estonian-Swedes, English, Scots, Icelanders, Austrians,

  • Oh, c´mon! You should know that the word "Germanic" was discredited by Hitler and brought into a weird race-ideology, so noone in Germany - except a few neonazis - really uses this term anymore. - And by the way I think you see yourself firstly as a Scandinavian - do you? And here we see us as German speaking (big difference!), together with Austria, Switzerland and certain regions in France and Benelux.

  • You are not staying on topic. The term appeared here, whether presented by a neonazi or not i don´t know, and I saw fit to correct an ignorant assumption, which may have it´s roots in Hitlers propaganda. Whether i consider myself Scandinavian rather than germanic is irrelevant, it´s not about that. Were´re talking about facts here, and fact is that the Germans do not have monopoly on the term. On the contrary, all Germanic people have their roots in Southern Scandinavia, not in Germany.

  • You are repeating yourself. For me all that is irrelevant as it happened during the big migration period long time ago. With the birth of an own language the real history began. - and by the way: for me it´s irrelevant as well what some people wrote before.

  • Well, it seemed necessary to repeat, since you drifted away from the subject and still am.

  • it was not about factions within the group, it was about the group as a whole. Sorry if I nagg, but just wanted to get that straight.

  • you forget the Swiss ;-)

  • I actually added the Swiss, the Flemish and the people of Alsace and Friesland, but it seems that post has disappeared. Thanks, anyway.

  • An the Flemish, the people of Alsace (Frenchmen in other words) and Friesland and Schweiz.

  • A classic march piece of Music which can pass muster all the time. I like this version. As for the political comments about Germany phhew. It gets a bit tedious to listen too. The Western propagana machine of World War II was so strong with its indoctrination, that it seems to be still running today in certain ways having travelled across a generation or two. I would consider the events and lead up to the Spanish Inquisition were a lot worse and longer, where being anti-semetic was policy.

  • This have nothing to do with WWII or nazis, ia a prussian march, hitler's grand grandfather was far to be born when this march was written.

    Friedrich der grosse was a good king, and germany is a nation of culture and philosophy.

    May the gods bless EUROPE!

    eheheheheh american friends... you may continue envy us :)

  • @Asterio

    nice answer

  • @AsteriosAtene well said, german history and culture did not start with adolf hitler, but it nearly ended with him.Unfortunately the nazi regime used many of the attributes of Prussia,march music,adoration of Friedrich der grosse,reviving many military traditions etc

  • @AsteriosAtene THANK YOU...........the first smart youtuber when it comes to PRUSSIAN and pre ww2 music

  • @AsteriosAtene A lot of German Realm/Prussian enthusiasts are also nip lovers... That mus have something to do with NSDAP policies... so the link those people make is stupid, they dont know there own history. Imperial Japan was an enemy of the II Reich and so it was an enemy of other germanic nations like my own.

  • @AsteriosAtene god help Europe  γειά σου πατρίδα

  • @AsteriosAtene There'll be no envy as long as we're allowed to buy your cars. :P

  • @AsteriosAtene I envy you :P

  • Music inspires great passions in people. Besides, all central Europeas have a right to feel a little annoyed about the messy ethnic cleansing and reorder of 1945. A lot of grief and anger remains deeply imbedded in the soil of Germania and a good German song of the days of glory and success can only serve to inflame Germanic pride. Just as we Yankees get teary-eyed to God Bless America. It tis but human...

  • One of my favorite musical pieces by my favorite king "der alte fritz (King frederick II of Prussia) Why? He fought 3 silesian wars against Maria Theresa of austria, right close to my old birthplace bunzelwitz/striegau/koenigszel­t, now UNFORTUNATELY part of poland.

  • idiots .if you want to read comments with no sense and historical proofs than search for a german music(wheather clasic,marsh,pop or flksmusic)

    you have always comments of yanks who only learn about eurpe that columbus found america and that america fought against germany twice. ...

  • How do you know they are yanks or do they just fit your stereotypical profile. Trust me there is plenty of Europeans that would make a comment like that.

  • anyway that was the freidrich war march during 7 yeas war so ww2 are out of context

  • WWII is never out of context in a youtube discussion.

    No matter the subject, it always boils down to who did what to which country in WWII.

    That's just how youtube discussions work; it's a fact ;)

  • You talkin' to who? I said about the marsch is nice piece of music, as for the rest its all politics. Got any problems? Go to russia then.

  • great march!!

  • That makes no sense. There was no voting during the war because democracy was abolished...a good portion of the German population were part of the National Socialist Party and they were proud to join the army and fight for their fatherland.

  • Comment removed

  • Germany had universal conscription by 1936...It wasn't a matter of being proud and wanting to join...It was a matter of being proud and doing your duty to your nation. Of being a Man in your society and culture as your society and culture would see it...Think about military service in the UK or the USA. It is an honor and a priviledge regardless of politics.

  • ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!­?!?!?!?!?!?!

  • Großer Friedrich, steig hernieder, und regiere Preußen wieder.

  • bitte hör auf mit diesen parolen aus einem lied von lunikoff der hat mal keine ahnung was friedrich für tugenden hatte

  • "It is discipline, not bravery, that drives men to battle!"

    Anonymous Prussian Officer

  • Nice marsh

  • I love this great marsch, perhaps this marsch song could be played in PRC 60th anniversary army marsch in Beijing in Oct 1, any copyright from German, haha!!

  • fag chinese

  • Ihr Säcke bekommt doch nicht unser Kulturgut zum Marsch auf Tibet...

  • A people can only be governed if they consent to be governed mate. The people of Tibet want freedom, China should give it to them.

  • China sucks anyways

  • better than Nodic as Nazi army volunteer in WWII, shame on you.

  • ni hao ma china sucks balls and you dont make any sense.

  • Fuck off, propagandists. This is about music. So Mao apollllllogetes: leave us alone. Beauty first- and your third class regime won't matter anymore...

  • You cannot transfer culture as you like.

    There must be a comittment and people hav eto be convinved whatv they do.

    You will never understand that!

  • why do you so seldomly see pictures of Prussian line infantry or cavalry from the seven years war-period.... all I see is grenadiers

  • you see a lot of fusiliers too.

  • oh yeah, thats right.... but still no line infantry. (Im in for uniforms, thats why I find it irritating)

  • get your definations straight, fusiliers and grenadiers are considered line infantry

  • Yea, but im pretty sure that you know what i mean.... sorry for the mistake.

  • You mean you dont see any tricorns xD

  • Yes, I don´t ever see any musketeers.

  • 1:20

    you can see a guard musketeer, NCO and an officer, all wearing prussian styled tricorns (umn, well looks more like a bicorn but its a tricorn)

  • Der Marsch leider nicht in voller Laenge aufgenommen. Ansonsten Top.

  • ich bin froh das zu lesen..

  • Gloria zum Königreich Preußens!

  • Warum nur gibt es Preussen nicht mehr aber Bayern existiert noch?

  • Comment removed

  • Die Allierten teilten Deutschland 1945 in Besatzungszonen ein, allerdings blieb das große Preußen als Problemzone bestehen. Die Größe machte eine separate Verwaltung schwierig, weshalb man es dann aufteilte.

  • weil bayern von den amerikanischen besatzermächten nach dem krieg das recht als freistaat mitglied der bundesrepublik beizutreten eingeräumt wurde, preußen hatte eine weit größere fläche und lag somit in mehreren besatzungszonen, und da der hauptteil im russischen sektor lag, machte es keinen sinn die andern bereiche als "preußen" zu halten.

  • Weil Bayern den Nationalsozialismus geboren hat, Preußen aber die Schuld dafür untergeschoben bekam.

  • In bayern herrscht ein unvergleichbarer nationalstolz, jeder spricht bairisch und trägt ein grünes hemd, socken bis zu den kniehen und die latzthose mit hut/feder und odren wenn da.

  • Ich weiß nicht, wann Du das letzte mal in Bayern gewesen bist, aber was Du beschreibst, ist lediglich ein amerikanisches Cliché.

  • Die Bayern sind von Minderwertigskomplexen zerfressen, weil sie nicht richtig Deutsch sprechen können und bis zu dem Zeitpunkt, als sie mit dem Geld der US Besatzer (das diese dem gesamten Deutschland abpressen) gemästet wurden, bettelarm, hinterwäldlerisch und rückständig waren. Daran hat sich lediglich die Armut geändert, was den Bayern peinlich bewußt ist. Nun kompensieren sie dies mit Überheblichkeit und Fremdenfeindlichkeit, die sich auch auf nicht-bayerische Deutsche erstreckt.

  • Immer ruhig Blut und es mit Humor nehmen. Auch wenn Nord- und Süddeutschland sich kulturell mehr unterscheiden mögen als die Mongolei von Brasilien müssen wir letztendlich doch zusammen auskommen ... :-)

  • stimmt nicht ganz der nationalsozialismus entwickelte sich in ganz deutschland die nsdap damals noch apd war eine kleine partei die kaum bedeutung hatte aber es stimmt bayern war damals sehr rechtsradikal heute zum glück nicht mehr

  • Bist Du sicher.........

  • „Der Staat Preußen, der seit jeher Träger des Militarismus und der Reaktion in Deutschland gewesen ist, hat in Wirklichkeit zu bestehen aufgehört. Geleitet von dem Interesse an Wiederherstellung des politischen Lebens in Deutschland auf demokratischer Grundlage, erlässt der Kontrollrat das folgende Gesetz: Artikel 1 Der Staat Preußen, seine Zentralregierung und alle nachgeordneten Behörden werden hiermit aufgelöst. Alliierter Kontrollrat am 25. Februar 1947

  • Die meisten Kriege in Europa ab 1600 gingen aber nicht von Preußen aus, sondern von England, Frankreich und Polen (!).

    Soviel zum Thema Militarismus. Zudem war Preußen in der Weimarer Republik wohl demokratischer als es GB mit seinem diskriminierenden Mehrheitswahlrecht je sein wird.

    Preußen mag zwar geographisch nicht mehr existieren, aber sein Geist lebt weiter.

  • sein geist lebt in deutschland weiter

    leider sind seine tugenden weitgehend vergessen

  • Lang lebe Deutschland!

  • A very grand and noble march, composed by the man himself. Commemorating the Battle of Leuten. Prussian to the core!

  • This was composed in honor of the Prussian victory against Austria in Battle of Hohenfriedberg on June 4th, 1745. The Battle of Leuthen was much later, on 1757, during the 7 years war. Ironically, it was the same commander (Prince Karl Alexander von Lothringen) who was utterly defeated in both battles! :-)

  • Thanks for the clarification! :)

  • it wasn´t the battle of Leuthen, but the battle of Hohenfriedberg against the Austrians and the Saxons on June 4th 1745 :-)

  • Battle of Striegau-Hohenfriedberg of course not Lueuthen:)

  • C'est mon préféré mars!

  • I thought this sounded familiar, it's the end part of the Koeniggraetzer.

  • Classic!

  • favorite marsch

  • isnt this also the koniggraetzer marsch?

  • that's one of the copies of this march.

  • When the Königgrätzer marsch was written, Hohenfriedberger marsch was used as a part of it.

  • whats the first part of der königgraetzer called?

  • If I am not mistaken, the name of the first two parts was simple "Der Sechs-Achtel-Marsch", reputedly composed right there on the Battlefield of Königgrätz. Then Piefke added the Hohenfriedberger Marsch to complete a Trio.

  • Heil Preußen!!! Unter preußischer Tugend wird Deutschland erneut erwachen aus dieser 64-jährigen Koma amerikanischer und europäischer Unterdrückung!!!

  • Die Nazin für die Assoziierung dieser zeitlosen Melodie mit ihrer dunklen Schande verdammen. Preußen war eine große Nation, diese viele anderen Nationen, die von profitiert wurden. Einschließlich meine Selbst in Form von Baron Von Steuben.

    Meine Grammatik, Deutschen begnadigen ist nicht meine erste Sprache.

  • Einer von den besten Märsche die ich gehöhrt habe. Wird nie von diese schöne Musik genug haben.

  • This has to be one of my favorite marches!

  • It´s one of my favourite marches too.

  • su nombre le precede...

    en chile nos sentimos orgullosos de nuestra gran disciplina militar gracias a los prusianos....

    sin duda federico el grande fue el mejor emperador de su nacion...

    saludos

  • It's a shame what Russia did to Kongisberg, Germany needs to get East Prussia back

  • Yes. What right do Russia have over Königsberg? Königsberg is german, not russian.

  • Ja, ja, ich denke das auch. Sowjetische Dieben!

  • Auch Schlesien und Pommern, aber nicht Gdansk und Poznan, diese Staedten sind sehr Polnisch.

  • EIN VOLK, EIN REICH, EIN KAISER!!!

  • "Es wäre aber lächerlich, die Hitlerclique mit dem deutschen Volke, mit dem deutschen Staate gleichzusetzen. Die Erfahrungen der Geschichte besagen, daß die Hitlers kommen und gehen, aber das deutsche Volk, der deutsche Staat bleibt." Josef W. Stalin

  • Dieser Marsch wurde für das deutsche Volk nicht geschrieben.

  • Great!

  • das ist wohl einer der imposantesten Märsche die ich kenne.

  • nice march, was the victory song for the axis in Day of Defeat v.1.0

  • Obwohl ich weder Monarchist noch Militarist bin und eher vom entgegengesetzten Spektrum komme, finde ich diesen Marsch sehr schön. Kein militärischer Schmiss, eher wie barocke Festmusik

  • Das kommt daher dass er von König Friedrich II von Preußen persönlich geschrieben wurde und dieser ein großer verehrer der barocken Musik aus Frankreich oder Italien war und selbst in ähnlichem Stil komponierte.

  • that'd make a great national anthem for germany!

  • theproducerspart2:

    ja, für die mörderischste nation dieser welt, in der tat !

    (und für für die zweitgroßmäuligste noch dazu)

  • ich glaub dir habense den schädel eingehackt und reingeschissen verehrtester!

  • begründung ?????

    streng dich an, kleiner !

  • Selbsthassmonster.

  • Irrtum.

    Euch hasse ich.

  • Lächerlich, wer ist "euch"?

    Die Welt ist nicht Schwarz-Weiß du Idiot.

  • wo isn der kerl n nazi ?!?

  • man sollte diese ganze nazi-chose mal außer acht lassen und nur das preußische militarisch motivierte marschwesen begutacchten und man stellt fest das einem deutschen auch sowas mal gefallen kann, was meiner meinung nach auch sehr legitim ist.

  • schöner marsch,find ich auch sehr emotional

  • 0:41, Voltaire à la cour de Frédéric le grand.

  • Ich bin kein freund von monarchien oder diktaturen aber.. diesen mann hätte ich sehr gerne kennengelernt.. eine wahrhaft grosse persönlichkeit in der deutschen geschichte.. ein vorbild, heute noch.. an ihn, friedrich II, wird man sich in alle ewigkeit mit freuden erinnern.. hitler möchte man dagegen lieber vergessen.. wer es wagt, ihn mit hitler zu vergleichen!? beschmutzt sein andenken. jeder deutsche sollte das begreifen! selbst napoleon bewunderte diesen mann :)

  • Der wohl schönste Marsch überhaupt. Weniger martialisch, aber sehr feierlich.

  • history says: the old fritz have written this march (((self!?!?!)))

  • waaaasss??? ey tommys, das is nich eure geschichte, also bitte unterlasst diese kommentare über die deutsche kriegsführung ^^

  • erm...yeah :)

  • Oh, come on. German army never sucked. In WWI and WWII they performed most admirably with bad means and logistics.

    The cause of defeat is mostly traceable to incompetent leadership. If you want to look at a pitiful german army, look at the past: in early 1600s, thirty years war, they really sucked...

  • Ehm .. i said Wilhelm II. not Friedrich II.

    Wilhelm II. did lead Germany through WW1
