The Hohenfriedberger March is a Prussian/German march that was written after the Prussian victory over the Austrians (and Saxons) in the Battle of Hohenfriedberg (nowadays called Dobromierz, South-West Poland) on 4 June 1745, during the War of the Austrian Succession. This battle was led - as so many Prussian battles - by king Frederick the Great. There are rumours that the march was written by Frederick himself, but nobody really knows it.

The versions:
Version 1: 0:00-1:19 The normal and regular version.
Version 2: 1:20-2:17 The drums and fife version, an 18th century army version.
Version 3: 2:21-3:33 I'd call this a royal version. At least, it makes me think of an absolute king. Someone else thought it was a baroque version.
Version 4: 3:38-4:30 A 19th century version with songtext.
Version 5: 4:30-5:25 This is actually the second part of the 4th version, but I discovered it was different from version 1, so let's call this a bonus-outro version.

Wars that can be seen in this video:
1:01-1:20 Napoleonic Wars
1:20-2:17 Seven Years' War
2:31-3:36 Seven Years' War
3:50-4:30 Austro-Prussian War
4:36-5:16 Franco-German War

Lyrics:
Auf, Ansbach-Dragoner!
Auf, Ansbach-Bayreuth!
Schnall um deinen Säbel
und rüste dich zum Streit!
Prinz Karl ist erschienen
auf Friedbergs Höh'n,
Sich das preußische Heer
mal anzusehen.

Drum, Kinder, seid lustig
und allesamt bereit:
Auf, Ansbach-Dragoner!
Auf, Ansbach-Bayreuth!
Drum, Kinder, seid lustig
und allesamt bereit:
Auf, Ansbach-Dragoner!
Auf, Ansbach-Bayreuth!

Drum, Kinder, seid lustig
und allesamt bereit:
Auf, Ansbach-Dragoner!
Auf, Ansbach-Bayreuth!
Drum, Kinder, seid lustig
und allesamt bereit:
Auf, Ansbach-Dragoner!
Auf, Ansbach-Bayreuth!
