Info:
The Badonviller-Marsch (AM II, 256) is a Bavarian military march by composer Georg Fürst (1870-1936). After 1934, its name was Germanized to Badenweiler Marsch. The official title is still Badonviller-Marsch, using the Alsatian and French form of the name.
Fürst composed this tune as the Badonviller-Marsch for the Royal Bavarian Infantry Guard Regiment. The title refers to fighting on 12 August 1914 near Badonviller (the original German name of the town was Badenweiler until annexed by France in 1766) as part of Lorraine, where the Royal Bavarian Infantry Guard Regiment (Königlich Bayerisches Infanterie-Leib-Regiment) achieved a first victory against the French at the beginning of the First World War. The composer's lively two-tone entrance motif was by some accounts inspired by the duotonic sirens of field ambulances, with which the wounded were removed. This march is included in the Heeresmarsch collection as HM II, 256.
