Ilse Werner sings the great Hit of 1938 - Das ist Berlin!

[HesperiaDan]

After Hitler finished with Berlin how much of these images are left?

[miguelmouta]

Deliciously prone to be nazified .Eternally .

[MatthewMcIntyre321]

This is not Ilse Werne. I have the CD this came from -- it is Liane Augustin -- search "Cabaret Songs of Berlin & Vienna" in google, and the first result is a link to the CD on amazon. Search her name in wikipedia too -- it has some info on her. Liane Augustin (18 September 1928 - 29 April 1978).

[100ofhoo]

good old marlene had a deeper voice!!!

[stefalbert]

7 years later Berlin was destroyed......so sad....

[bobbobato]

I think the Berlin of 1938 is MUCH sadder than the Berlin of 1945.

[t3h4nswer]

@bobbobato why do you think that

[bobbobato]

@t3h4nswer Oh, nothing really, just that whole Nazi thing.

[SexyBienie91]

[666Ataraxia]

Marlene had a song with the same title, but the music and the lyric is different. :)

Both of the songs are great!

Tschüs from Hungary! :)

[omikey1970]

[Quantumholio]

Das ist Berlin, Berlin, die ewig junge Stadt

Das ist Berlin, Berlin, die meine Liebe hat

Genau im Mittelpunkt der Welt

Hat sie der Herrgott hingestellt

Du mein Berlin, Berlin, du Perle an der Spree

Wer dich erst kennt, Berlin, der sagt dir nie adieu

Denn deinem Zauber kann man niemals mehr entflieh'n

Du mein Berlin, Berlin, Berlin

Du mein Berlin, Berlin, du Perle an der Spree

Wer dich geseh'n, Berlin, der sagt dir nie adieu

[sebreathnach]

Thank you for the archival photos,info and music. It has a touch of cabaret about it -- or should one say theatre. And Berlin in the 30s? What can one say? Jawohl! Berlin 'leuchteten die stirne' -- meistens aber mit Bomben! Danke!

[dearmalika]

Danke fuers Hochladen !

[HartfordTommy]

It's nice to hear the beautiful song in the context (pure, not Nazi) for which it was intended. Yet, the Nazi film version also here on YouTube makes an immortally-powerful reminder of how good things can become perverted.

[righteous74]

Das ist Berlin, Berlin, die ewig junge Stadt

Das ist Berlin, Berlin, die meine Liebe hat

Genau im Mittelpunkt der Welt

Hat sie der Herrgott hingestellt

[righteous74]

Du mein Berlin, Berlin, du Perle an der Spree

Wer dich erst kennt, Berlin, der sagt dir nie adieu

Denn deinem Zauber kann man niemals mehr entflieh'n

Du mein Berlin, Berlin, Berlin ...

Du mein Berlin, Berlin, du Perle an der Spree

Wer dich geseh'n, Berlin, der sagt dir nie adieu

Denn deinem Zauber kann man niemals mehr entflieh'n

Du mein Berlin, Berlin, Berlin ...

[Buddyy63]

SORRY - aber das ist nicht Ilse Werner !!!!

[zieckzack]

Ja! Genau! Das ist Liane Augustin mit Boheme Bar Trio!

[fedtrooper]

Interesting bunch of pictures of happy Berlin probably before WWI. Less odd video than the 1938 version of this song with mobs of singing happy people in 3rd reich land. And does Ilse end the song on a rather slow sad note?

[thursdaysrecords]

Ilse Werner was extremely popular ever since she "appeared" on the scene in the late 1930s. She was in Classic "Revue Films" and made many TV appearances well into the 1980s.

This recording sounds like it was made during the 50s. Her voice sounds rather mature, and the musical accompaniment had a typical early 50's sound, definitely GERMAN all around!

Ilse Werner was one of a handful of entertainers to become regulars of the "SFB Tanzorchester" in Berlin only days after WWII ended!

[Audinos]

This recording is Liane Augustin, not Ilse Werner. This was recorded in the late 50's.

[thursdaysrecords]

Yes, that would explain the 50s recording sound. I was sure the date 1938 was far off, and I'm aware that there were many German chanson artists, Ilse Werner was only one of them.

Thanks for supplying the fact correction to this video entry. It's good to know that people out there have a lot of information, and sharing it so freely.

[Arminius1984]

the dscription says that the song is from 1938... and that is true.

[HarrisonKefir]

Das ist nun wirklich nicht die Stimme von Ilse Werner.

[ericlebeau]

this voice is close to margott Hielscher! who is right?

[Audinos]

I own a CD called "Cabaret Songs of Berlin and Vienna" by Liane Augustin, and this is the same recording.

[frsboy]

I went to Berlin once, 9 years ago. But i really really would like to go back one day! Beautiful city. :)

[ruhri0411]

Don't wait too long, everything is changing very fast.

[kaleidoxkopio]

Perfect diction, elegant voice, marvellous piano, subtle rhythm. Another delicate song you share with all of your youtube-fans. Thank you!!!

[Spion1618]

Ich hoffe, dass ich Berlin besichtigen werde.

[sturmvogel2007]

Прекрасная песня про город, который завоевал мой дед!

Das schöne Lied über die Stadt, der mein Großvater erobert hat!

[barbcard]

Delightful pix, esp. of the U-Bahn. But please clarify once and for all: when you say "Third Reich film actress" does that mean a collaborator or only in a passive sense--e.g. going with the flow for financial reasons. (Not that the latter is excusable in my opinion.)

[dairyman716]

Ilse Werner was young when she started her career. Political, she was largely naive, without thinking about right or wrong. So she appeared, whistling and singing, in radio shows, that were encouraging to persevere. That is one reason why she was banned from Stage in postwar times for a few years. She was dubbing foreign language films. She appeared again in a film in 1948.

[dairyman716]

By the way maybe you know the rock ballad 'Wind of Change' (1990) by the 'Scorpions', there she is whistling the intro. It is also here on yt.

[refohtiew]

Don't you know Ilse Werner? She was a very famous German actress. Born 11 July 1921 in Batavia (now: Jakarta), a former Dutch colony in Indonesia, died 8 August 2005 in Luebeck.

Look at more videos of her in internet. "Ja, das ist meine Melodie" etc.
