Hohenfriedberger Marsch 

this march is inspiring! I came here because I don't want to study for my exams, but all of a sudden I feel the discipline all over my body. Now I will do my duty like a Prussian soldier. No more youtube for me today!

"Whereas some states possess an army, the Prussian army possess a state." - Voltaire.

Music like this just makes you want to go out and invade something.

If you hear this song coming from the army on the other side of the battlefield, that means it's time to leave.

who would not go to war with Marches like these.

makes me proud to be prussian orgin

glory to prussia and fredrik the great

Königgrätzer Marsch was composed over 100 years after this (Battle of Hohenfriedberg 1745, Battle of Königgrätz 1866) , the composer of the Königgrätzer, Johann Gottfried Piefke, added this to his march back then.

I'm not a militaria fan or whatever,but damn,how could you ever lose a battle with that marsch???That's beautiful....

Bela marcha militar. Reconheço nela a beleza da composição da música. Lembranças do Brasil!

So Schön 👏👏 . From India 🇮🇳

Pour le Merite recipients are usually very strong personalities -Frederick the Great -Ernst Jünger -Manfred von Richtofen the "Red Baron" -Helmuth von Moltke the Elder -Lettow-Vorbeck the "Lion of Africa" -Otto von Bismarck -Paul von Hindenberg -Erwin Rommel -Gebhard von Blücher

Danke! As soon as I return to live in DE in Oktober I will watch it!

Pro Gloria et Patria

I just had clicked this video. Discipline grew 150% instantly.

It is from the Series "Die Deutschen" or "The Germans". A german TV-Show which covered the whole 'German History' from the year 900 to 1918.

I love german march music. Greetings from your neighbour! :D

Parts of my ancestors fought on the same side under Frederick the great! Very nice video!!!

Was ein wundervoller marsch

Wow the effort is great

@Throki Thanks for the info.

The great tragedy of that inspiring music is that it is about conflict between two great thrones who should have and should still protect civilisation! Imagine if Eugen, Fritz and Marlborough marched together!

@ManfredTrockenbrodt1 Komm schon, wir sind alle Deutsche! :D

A lovely little tune.

You won't believe it and that's fine, but I listen to this march every morning before heading to work. For the fighting spirit. As reminder of who I am.

Danke!

I was watching some Blackadder videos and this was on suggestions :D Well played RU-vid! Awesome video! :)

I like to watch this, just for the sake to remain at the watchlist

thx man

Mount and Blade Warband: Napoleonic Wars Brought me here :D this march is one of the many I love because of it

Cameras from back then have much better quality than I thought, what happened in the 50's with the whole black and white thing, was it just a fad?

Awesome!

By the way, while the tune is dedicated to the battle of Hohenfriedberg, the battle displayed here obviously is some other one.

super

Now I will explain once. In Prussia, it was customary to name the regiment after regiment chief. And that was 1745, the Margrave of Bayreuth. (The song is indeed sung Ansbach Bayreuth, but as the regiment was only later.) Is The Regiment is a regiment of Pasewalk in the Prussian province of Pomerania.

GAH! I cant stop pressing replay!

entschuldigt die Rechtschreibfehler... das war im ersten Satz muss weg. Und das Relativpronomen vor Demokratie muss natürlich femininum sein. Sorry!

"At that time Prussia was looked on as a great school master in the martial arts, as France was later, and as Germany is now. The English army has been mainly a copyist of other people's methods since the century began. If, after Crimea or the Italian campaign of 1859, we adopted kepi shaped hates, baggy "pegtop" trousers and "booted overalls" for riding, so, when Germany became successful we copied her "Blucher boots", flat topped forage caps, infantry helmet, and rank distinctions!" "In this case too, the Prussian system was the basis of our drill instruction, and, with but slight modifications, so remained until 1870, when linear formations gave place to extended order." Page 157 "The Story of the British Army" by C.C. King. "Following Frederick's striking victories in the Silesian Wars, most armies including Britain, quickly clamored to copy the Prussian way of war, and a quarter century later this process of adopting Prussian techniques continued under the Germanophilic sons of George III. This created an era, beginning at the middle of the century and extending to its last decade, when the British army (like others) shared much with this German model, further creating similarity and commonalities between various armies, just as the French innovations had impacted Western Europe a century before." Page 38 German Forces and the British Army: Interactions and Perceptions, 1742-1815 By Mark Wishon An account dated from the year 1801 "The modern improved system is derived from Frederick, the father of the great King of Prussia. He was the first that caused the manual exercises to be contracted, and then the motions performed close to the body. This new method came soon to be copied or imitated by other nations. About 1757, a new manual of exercise was introducted into the British army, a good deal resembling the Prussian, and this exercises has of late been simplified and reduced to a smaller number of motions."

Totally agree with you !

Danke für die hilfe

Prussia is cool. They helped my country out :D Holland And Prussia allies forever. We are both from German blood!

Hohenfriedberger Marsch Vielen Dank .

it's not forgotten mate, the german sense of perfection still exists... haven't you ever bought an Audi or a mercedes?

@PRUDUST: seh ich auch so!

Empire Total War is in no ways a "ball of fail." It's by far the best strategy game of its type, representing that era.

joep van baardewijk In het begin is het de Pruisen tegen de Oostenrijkers en aan het Oostenrijkers tegen Fransen

totaly agree !

TFW you just want to check out some old timesy historical music and then the comment section is full of crazies.

Indeed.

Cool!

@flyingelephants2k9 because part of it was worked into the königgrätzer. this march comemoprates a victory of prussia over austria and so does the königgrätzer and pays hommage to its predecessor.

schön :)

@MauserKar98k The Beginning is taken from the Documentation "Die Deutschen", Part 6: "Preußens Friedrich und die Kaiserin". It's a documentation in ten parts about the German History from 912 to the end of the first World War.

Iam in total awe of the prussenes and iam glad england served along side with these men of prusser.

Ja schauts euch an, so hat man noch mit Vorbildern verfahren. Ein Hoch auf unseren Kaiser!

The best King/Songwriter ever!

It's just on a historical holiday... it shall be back soon

Es ist eine Dokumentations Serie "Die Deutschen" im video größtenteils vorhanden:Teil 6:Friedrich und die kaiserin Teil 7: Napoleon und die deutschan

bel video complimenti

Die mit Abstand dümmste Frage die ich mir vorstellen Kann.

Frederich der Große über alles! über alles in der welt! Frederich der Große über alles! über alles in der welt!

@xxIHunterIxx Aus der Dokumentation "Die Deutschen". Ist schon eine Weile her, aber ich kann mich noch erinnern, dass die mal im Fernsehen lief.

The fact my class and i watched the original movie for histrory class

@stevensection It's part of the german documentation "Die Deutschen", footage here was taken from the episode "Preußens Friedrich und die Kaiserin".

I agree

Back in the days, Germany was split in a lot of little states, Prussia was one of them. My country united itself after the victory of the Franco-Prussian War, where the Germans faught together against the French.

Du hast recht,mein Kamerad! Endlich mal einer,der eine Ahnung von Deutschland hat! :) -You´re allright,my Friend! :)

@munsyi How is that in any way connected to this Prussian march? Off by a couple of centuries there.

From which movie is the scene at the beginning?

I love this song :3 is so cool, like the US artillery Song, The British Grenadiers March and the "la victoire est a nous"!

@Kareios When I said "pioneering" I didnt say they were the first ones. But they were they first ones to use deadly poison gas on a large scale. The use of chemical warfare was strictly forbidden by the Hague convention. And if you have ever been subjected to a high dose of tear gas, you get the slightest, tiniest notion of what it is like spendign the last weeks in hospital coughing out the remains of your lungs.

Johann Joachim Winckelmann wrote in 1763 "Better to be circumcised Turk than Prussian" and also "Being Prussian is a great honor but not pleasure". I dedicate that two quotations to every prussian military machine fans

Ja, das ist mir so trurig...

Alles Gute !

@inailboards isn't that quote by Carl von Clausewitz?

@LadyKoneka Holy Roman Empire was divided in many duchies, free imperial cities etc. and parts of Empire were for example: Netherlands, Austria etc. Kingdom of Prussia was fighting with Austria to get domination in Empire in XVIII century and in XIX Prussia gained many territories and reunited "german" lands in German Empire( see on Wikipedia for maps ) in 1871.

Where is the footage taken from? That's what I'd like to know. I love the march too, by the way. :)

@inailboards that was from Voltaire. isn't?

@AngelBiLove so a german from east or west prussia cant say the are prussian? (both provinces in germany btw)
