Preußens Gloria - Prussian March

“Preußens Gloria” was a Prussian March written in 1871 after the Kingdom of Prussia's victory in the Franco-Prussian War, which led to the unification of the German states into the new Prussian-led German Empire. As part of the victory parade of the returning Troops, the march was performed for the first time in public in Frankfurt an der Oder, where Piefke's garrison was based.
