One of the most popular marching anthems to ever come out of Germany, Erika is recognized far from its country of origin.
Often thought of as traditional folk tune, Erika is in fact a more recent military marching song created after 1930. The lyrics and the melody come from the German composer for marching songs, Herms Niel (1888-1954).
Niel was the leading Kapellmeister (the main bandleader) of the Reich Labour Service and composed many songs for the Reich over its twelve years of existence including 'Engel-land-lied’, one of the main German war songs throughout the conflict.
Published under its original title “Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein” (“Erika”), the songs main theme focuses on a man longing for his sweetheart back home.
The name "Erika" has a double meaning both as a traditional German girls name and also that of a flower.
The flowers known in German as Heidekräuter (Erica) are a genus of about 860 species of flowering plants in the family Ericaceae. One variety of heather or heath flowers, Glockenheide (bell heather), has the Latin name Erica tetralix.
'Erika' is a flower found growing “auf der Heide” (on the heath) or in a moor in Germany and other places.
Because of its Nazi-era association, “Erika” is sometimes considered to be politically incorrect. However, other than the march music and drum beats there is nothing in the song or its lyrics that have anythign to do with German militarism or Nazism at all.

The part at the end
Are you thinking of your fiancé makes me sad everytime i hear it
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
und das heißt: Erika.
Heiß von hunderttausend kleinen Bienelein
wird umschwärmt Erika,
denn ihr Herz ist voller Süßigkeit,
zarter Duft entströmt dem Blütenkleid.
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
und das heißt: Erika.
In der Heimat wohnt ein kleines Mägdelein
und das heißt: Erika.
Dieses Mädel ist mein treues Schätzelein
und mein Glück, Erika.
Wenn das Heidekraut rot-lila blüht,
singe ich zum Gruß ihr dieses Lied.
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
und das heißt: Erika.
In mein'm Kämmerlein blüht auch ein Blümelein
und das heißt: Erika.
Schon beim Morgengrau'n sowie beim Dämmerschein
schaut's mich an, Erika.
Und dann ist es mir, als spräch' es laut:
"Denkst du auch an deine kleine Braut?"
In der Heimat weint um dich ein Mägdelein
und das heißt: Erika.
Erika!! I will always love this one. Reminds of the yellow ribbon cadence we did in the US Army
Wow.. I heard this song long ago but didn't know the name. Just a few moments ago, I searched for Katusha, and listened to it. I thought of this song while I was listening to Katusha. Then RUclips recommended this at the end...
So I guess the algorithm can read our minds now....
We're doomed, but at least I got to hear this again.
Classic
Super klasse Lied.
Grüße aus der Ukraine.
My favorite Song👴
My art class banger masterpiece 🎨👌
Wait why is it removed before and why it show up again?
Because I prayed very hard to the RUclips gods and got a bogus copyright claim removed!
Which version is this exactly? The choir is always a little ahead of the beat, actually syncopating this march -- which sounds quite dull "as written".
reupload?
⚡️⚡️⚡️
Why the transcript is in arabic?
bro my friend told me to go on this 💀💀💀💀
all the comments are like "i love this song!" N stuff.
i think youre forgetting that this was the nazis..
We didn’t forget 🙋♂️
What's your point?
Just because it was released around the time of the Nazis doesn’t mean it’s a bad song, there is nothing in the song referencing the Nazi regime
Do you realize that not everything German relates to "war" and "Nazis" right?
Best of the bests
