Königgrätzer marsch was composed by Prussian military musician Gottfried Piefke after the Prussian victory over the Austrian army by Königgrätz on 3. July 1866.
Königgrätz was the decisive battle of the Austro-Prussian War. It provided a great opportunity for Prussia, by clearing a path toward German unification without Austria.

Der preußische Militärmusiker Gottfried Piefke komponierte nach dem Sieg der preußischen Truppen über die Österreicher bei Königgrätz am 3. Juli 1866 den Königgrätzer Marsch. Dieser Sieg ebnete den Weg zur Vorherrschaft Preußens im Deutschen Bund und damit letztlich auch zur Gründung des deutschen Kaiserreiches 1871.

  • and to the guy who posted the video: Prussia didnt fight against Austria-Hungary, because Austria-Hungary was founded 1867, one year AFTER the battle of Königgrätz....they fought against the troops of the Empire of Austria (1804-1867).
