@@DieterRahm1845 Yes I meant at performing them as well!!. Bavaria have a few good marches also but obviously not as many as the Prussians.I,ve never heard any marches from the Kingdom of Saxony but there must be some.
@Ceiling Fan yes I'm sure. Der Parademarsch der Langen Kerls is part of the Soundtrack of the Film Fridericus or Der alte Fritz (I'm not sure which one) but i'm fucking sure it's a Soundtrack.
I remember reading that the "Langen Kerls" (Potsdam Giants) were strictly a parade regiment. And the kings son Frederick the Great dispanded the regiment as an unnecessary expense.
I know it’s been over a decade, but I just wanted to help with some inaccuracies here. The Potsdam Giants were just one battalion of the regiment that Frederick William I commanded, and when Frederick the Great ascended to the throne he disbanded that one battalion and kept the rest of the regiment for that same reason.
Although it sounds like a true parade march of the 18th century, the Langen Kerls never heard it. This march was composed in 1922 by Marc Roland for the silent movie Fredericus Rex.
Die "Langen Kerls" were established about 1720 by King Friedrich I. of Prussia, also called the "Soldatenkönig" (soldiers king). They were a regiment of very tall men, 190 cm height as minimum (it was about 300 years ago, and people were usually not so tall as nowadays), wearing very tall caps to make them even more impressing. They were searched all over the country and somtimes compelled to serve in King Friedrich's guards regiment.
@Hamburgian01 Im sorry but Fridrich Wilhelm I. of Prussia (Son of Friedrich I.) was called the "Soldatenkönig" an HE not his Father established the "Langen Kerls" taller men could carry and handle longer Muskets, so that they could unleash a volley which as mor precise than that of Common Line Infantry of that Period.
Kann schon sein, teilweise haben sich die Komponisten von den Stücken ihrer werten Kollegen inspirieren lassen (und teilweise einfach mal was "geklaut" hehe).
Dumm nur, daß dieser Marsch erst in den 20er Jahren des 20.Jhdts als Filmmusik komponiert wurde, also mit den tatsächlichen "Langen Kerls" des 18. Jhdts soviel zu tun hat wie deren filmische Darstellung ....
This music expressess the spirit of the beautiful proud noble righious patriotic teutonic germans at thier finest god bless the germans
What a march! Those Drums.. The Prussians are the best in the world at creating stirring magnificent marches!
And at playing them!!

This tune wasn't created by prussians. It's from 1922 and was made for the movie "Fridericus".

@Ceiling Fan because of the Nation Prussia didn't exist anymore.

By the time of Friedrich they were

Ausständlich!!

They were established by King Friedrich Willhelm 1. König (King) in Preußen the second King of Prussia.
Back in 1720 the average man size was ~165cm
With 188cm you would have been larger than 99% of the population
Wunderbar, wie alle deutschen Marsche. !
Like this song
Dr Peter Ruckman has a funny story about this march so I had to come and hear it.
Es lebe Friederich der Große!
In Bezug auf die langen Kerls müsste es zwar Friedrich Wilhelm I. von Preußen sein, aber grundsätzlich stimme ich Ihnen/dir zu
VIVE LE ROI !!!

@Hamburgian01 190 centimeters.......almost six feet, three inches. You're right, men this tall would have been scarce 290 years ago.

Höre ich da so ein bisschen den Hohenfriedebergermarsch heraus, oder Irre ich mich?
Hannibal Lecter Ich meine dieser Marsch ist älter, also glaub nicht.
R W dieser marsch ist viel jünger um 1925 von Marc Roland und der hohenfriedberger um 1745 vom alten Fritz
@@sabinelang8020 Wieso sollte man 1925 ein Marsch schreiben für die langen Kerls die es schon lange nicht mehr gab???
@@malcigloe Der wurde für einen Film über Friedrich den Großen komponiert.
