Militärmarsch Preußens Gloria (prussia glory march)

Preußens Gloria ist ein berühmter preußischer Marsch des 19. Jahrhunderts. Komponist war Musikdirektor Johann Gottfried Piefke (18151884) vom 1. Brandenburgischen Leibgrenadierregiment Nr. 8 in Frankfurt an der Oder.

Preußens Gloria is a well-known military march of the 19th century. Its composer was Johann Gottfried Piefke (1817-1884).

"Preußens Gloria" ("The Glory of Prussia" or "Prussia's Glory") was written in 1871 after the Kingdom of Prussia's victory in the Franco-Prussian War, which led to the unification of Germany. For the victory parade of the returned troops the march was performed for the first time in public in Frankfurt (Oder), the base of Piefke's garrison.

As Piefke only performed it on important occasions, the march was unknown to a broader public for a long time. In 1909 the manuscript of the almost forgotten tune turned up and was reworked by army-musical inspector Prof. Grawert. Shortly afterwards it was included in the collection of Prussian army marches.

  • Mögt Ihr den preußischen Staat zerschlagen,

    Preußen wird hoch aus den Trümmern ragen.

    Einer schon wollte uns Preußen stehlen,

    Doch Preußen lebt zu tief in den Seelen!

    Preußen ist weder Volksstamm noch Rasse,

    Preußen ist Haltung und niemals Masse.

    Preußen ist Pflicht nach Immanuel Kant,

    Preußen ist Treue zu Volk und Land,

    Dienen der Sache bis in den Tod

    Und – Griff zu den Waffen erst in der Not!

  • Even though Prussia is no longer a country, but i still like to think that it is :) The marching songs makes me want to march myself XD It is truly a glory march to the end.

  • @sansa112 No, I mean votes in percent. When you look at the election results in percent the population density doesn't matter.

    The Nazis the biggest support in percent have in Prussia, the numbers don't lie.
