"Wir sind des Geyers schwarzer Haufen" (We are Geyer's Black Horde)- German Folk Song (Rare Version)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 тра 2023
- Although "Setzt aufs Klosterdach den roten Hahn!" literally translates to "Set the Red Rooster up the monastery roof", the poetic translation is to set the monastery ablaze.
The song's title (translates. "We are Geyer's Black Bunch") and lyrics are references to Florian Geyer (1490 - 10 June 1525) and his Black Company, a heavy cavalry unit which fought on the side of the Peasants during the German Peasants' War. Geyer's Black Company was notorious with his contemporaries for their destruction of cathedrals, castles, and summary executions of clerics and noblemen. The song's lyrics capitalise on this notoriety, with references to the actions of the Black Company: "Setzt aufs Klosterdach den Roten Hahn!" ("Raise the red rooster [flames] upon the Cloister Roof!"). This song is not associated with the Nazis in any way.

The flag used here is the flag which was used by the peasants during the uprising. A flag featuring a "Bundschuh" (a medieval boot) was also another flag used by them.
@@SwePol got it, thanks!
@Koning Günter II 'n wapenbroer yes, the rainbow flag
@Koning Günter II 'n wapenbroer the rainbow was a christian symbol before being taken by the sodomites
It was used by Münzer who was an anti monarchist Protestant who even got atacked by Martin Luther
That flag isn’t from Florian Geyer tho, that was the “Light” host (hence the rainbow and white background) It was commanded by that one German guy that was burned after losing the war, Florian’s host was the “Dark” host, he used the Bundschuh with black background, plain black flag, or Wolfsangel (wolf hook) with black background, although many say that the last one is not true
Florián Geyer is a very interesting figure, he was born into high nobility, and yet, when the time came, he sided with the peasantry rather than his own class, and was martyred in a heroic struggle against the oppressors of the people. He was revered by both communists (see Friederich Engels) and German nationalists (see Florián Geyer SS division), in fact in the German Democratic Republic there was also a division named Florián Geyer.
Florian Geyer is an example to follow, and his song echoes not only in Germany but all across the world. He was a martyr and a fighter who died in the cause of humanity, from Lisboa to Pyonyang, from Cape Town to Tindouf, from Tierra del Fuego to Anchorage Florian Geyer’s work lives on

@@Theredcarolinian I know right
William of Nassau also sided with the people against his monarch (i understand that they weren't peasant but still) i guess the new religious movement really did reach the hearts of the people who embraced it
I would like to point out one thing: "Kyrieleis" is not something like the English "tralalala", in Greek it means "Lord, have mercy!"
It does mean "Lord, have mercy", but in this context, no
@@cortexradio yes it actually means god have mercy in that context are you german?
@@cortexradio i assume it is in the song, because they start a violent revolution, which also includes killing people. So i guess they are sort of saying: "God forgive me for what i am about to do"
@@comrademax5302you are right that’s the meaning of Kyrie eleison or Kyrieleis

Uhm...ja bist ja deutsch, wär schon traurig wenn du kein Hochdeutsch verstehen würdest
Haha the original rainbow flag ;)
They go back a lot further than that. The one used today was actually stolen directly from a "hippie" group that has been large & active in the United States since the very early 70s. Around '79 members of the community that is more well known for using it now went to one of their gatherings and decided they would just use it for themselves without even trying to change it.
Needless to say it's been a point of contention ever since. The group they stole it from isn't in the public eye nearly as much, but it is roughly the same size (arguably it was much larger for a long time).
The original group still has gatherings (called Rainbow Gatherings) that are open to everyone if you want to look up what I'm talking about. They'll go build a village in our national forests for a month then tear it down and clean it all up. At it's core I guess you could say it's an experiment in living without leaders or money.
Oh, they have an international presence too, but it's considerably different in many ways.
Haha,degenerate
The great gay revolution of 1423
@@waripolo3813Bruh.
Perfect, keep up the good work 🔥🔥🔥
A really cool and interesting scenario would be what if the peasant revolt succeeded (I know it was impossible for that to happen, just would be cool)
Perhaps the HRE and the smaller German states within it would bring about change? As in more liberalism and workers rights in general, since the peasants weren't against the HRE, they were simply against the corruption and injustice going on inside of it. But the HRE would remain haha
Actually peasants were fighting to working under directly Emperor not some feudals or church
@@Nechay. being under emperor means more autonomy
Case point: Switzerland
it may have been possible if the radical hussites succeeded, which they were very close in doing so. If the hussites had won and secured Bohemia under hussite control, then maybe, in the century leading up to the great peasants rebellion, more seeds of autonomy and anti nobility could’ve been planted throughout central europe. If this had occurred, the peasants rebellion could’ve been significantly larger and they could’ve had military assistance from hussite bohemia, and possibly the polish as well, if the hussites were to succeed there as well.
@@cortexradioell, the rebelling peasants quite literally burned every monastery/church/religious institution they came across and executed nobles by the thousands in Weinsberg and other places. I dont think it would be too difficult for them to win, they outnumbered the enemy by far, and Florián Geyer’s heavy knights were very powerful, perhaps if they were lead by a skillful commander who could put in practice some sort of early guerrilla warfare they could have won.
Anyways they were incredibly based and I hope some day the working class can be free from the nobles, capitalists and church.

What a glorious song 🥲
I had no idea about this which is ashame but going down the wiki rabbit hole, wow. Hopefully the martyrs can somehow know their struggle wasn't in vain.
Cortex!! Could you post the original audio? I would love to hear how this sounded before the audio splicing and the reverb!
So kyrieleis isnt As part of the Greek formula Kyrie eleison (“Lord, have mercy”)?? Very strange given its religious Back ground
It means just that, but it is said not in a religious manner rather a Hurra/battle cry.
Well yes, but in this context not really. It's more of a battle cry like @Lorelei said
"Geyers schwarzer Haufen" is anti-church but it's not anti-religious or atheist. It makes references to the social-revolutionary character of early Christianity most notably when it mentions that after genesis and the creation of Adam and Eve there were in fact no noblemen.
Yes it does
The creater doesnt know what hes talking svout
The meaning of "kyrieleis" in this song kinda is "nowhere".
Like "where was the nobleman then? Nowhere".
Just my opinion.
in this version, who performed it?
Schöner Chorgesang, interessantes Lied 😀
The map doesn't have the Kingdom of Italy and the duchy of Savoy despite both being part of the empire at the time

Just google "German Peasants War"... its a rebellion that happened in the HRE sometime after Martin Luther's reformation.
@@cortexradioOk thanks

Surprised to see they referenced John Ball. I wonder if the original movement was in anyway inspired by the peasants' revolt. They were quite similar episodes.

What is the purpose of rainbow flag?
Says it right there in the pinned comment:
"The flag used here is the flag which was used by the peasants during the uprising. A flag featuring a "Bundschuh" (a medieval boot) was also another flag used by them."
The rainbow was/is a symbol of the covenant between God and humans.
"It shows a rainbow, intended to refer to the covenant God made between Noah and Himself (Genesis 9:1-17). Below the rainbow, there is a line of Latin text saying "verbum domini maneat in etternum" (="verbvm Domini maneat in aeternvm"), which means "The word of the LORD stays eternally", signaling the eternal validity of the covenant God made between Noah and Himself.
Underneath the line in Latin, there are two lines of German text saying "die ist das zeichen des ewigen bundes gotes" (="die ist das Zeichen des ewigen Bundes Gottes"), which means "It is the sign of the eternal covenant of God", describing the meaning of the rainbow."

Macht aber im Kontext dieses Liedes 0 Sinn. Der Klerus hatte damals in großen Bereichen des HRR das Gewaltmonopol und die politische Macht.
Der Konflikt hier ist eher Arbeiter vs. Klerus/Adel.
@@Bartnuschler
I wholeheartedly disagree. What you're basically saying is that what we're experiencing today is not completely the same as the contextual history in which the song was made, to which my response is; it doesn't have to be the same, and here's why; yes, it was AT THAT TIME the clergy who were tyrants and hiding behind the guise of the church to exercise outright tyranny on the people, but TODAY it is Islam that is, without any doubt the tyrannical forces against all cultures in which they come into contact with by way of refugee status. France, Netherlands, Kurdistan, India, the US, the UK, Iran, and perhaps Germany as well; we have, and still are, experiencing the tyrannical forces of a religion that tells it's followers that they are justified for taking the life of our own countryman if they protest by burning a book, or if they even so much as dare to draw a cartoon character, or if they even criticize Muhammad; their lives are to be extinguished for something as petty as a cartoon? God forbid! Maybe you will accept this in today's Germany, but, without hesitation, and with complete determination, I refuse to stand by and allow this to take place in today's United States of America.
As the song explicitly states:
"Und Wollen mit Tyrannen raufen!"
And today's tyrants hiding behind the guise of religion is indeed Islam. So yes; it makes COMPLETE sense. The idea that you need it to be perfectly the same historically, THAT in itself makes no sense at all. As if tyranny is always the same? No, it isn't. It rears it's head in many ways, and today, it's Islam.
@@IchigoIchigo3 yeah but Islam doesnt have the same political power the celegy had.
@@Bartnuschler You're going back to what your first response was to say that it's not exactly the same. To which I responded above, but I'll say again; it doesn't have to be perfectly the same for tyrants to be identified as tyrannical. People are dying at the hands of those who say that their religion says they're justified to take the lives of anyone who does not agree with Islam. That's tyrannical. If it wasn't tyrannical then why are the Iranian women who choose not to wear hijab and protest against the Islamic Republic Regime of Iran, being given two options? One option is that they die by the "morality police" of the Iranian government, and the second option is that instead of being killed they can have one of their eyes gouged out. I know this and have seen this myself, as I protest with the Iranians here in the US, and there are women who are missing their eyes. You don't think this is tyrannical of the government because it isn't exactly the same as the history of this song? You're alienated from understanding if that's really what you think. I can go on about Islam and it's history working it's tyranny through government to further substantiate why Islam is indeed tyranny, but this is further revelation that there is much you don't know. Tyranny doesn't cease to be tyranny because it doesn't perfectly match a song. I can share with you more of Islamic tyranny if you'd actually want to know.
@@IchigoIchigo3 Yeah in countries where said clergy holds the power you could say that ofc.
The Prequel nobody asked for......

Бедная Германия. Она из норм государства в это превратилась...
@BarrettLeeu I know. The year is 1919. Yes, I don't really respect Germany personally, because she fought with the Russian Empire, and I am Russian. But on the other hand, it was an absolutely adequate state - without LGBT people, perverts. It was strong, confident, patriotic, with freikorps. It even hurts to look at Germany now. Sometimes there are different situations in Russia, too, but at least not at the state level
This would be a great song against today's tyrannical Islam. Where it says monastery, it should be "mosque". Where it says nobleman, it should be "imam".
Is this a nazi or a medival song
Made in 1919 or 20 I think. It was about the Peasant Uprising of the 1600s. It was used by the Nazis for the Florian Geyer Division of the SS, but also used by the DDR later. Theres also a Hungarian version of the same named after Florian Geyer
It's somehow a revolutionary song imo, but yeah, it's about the uprising as Cortex said.
@@cortexradiothe peasants war was to be exact from 1524-1525 and the lyrics were made during that time and brought to music around 1919
Hitler was only using historical characters, like Florian Geyer, to make himself and the Nazis appear heroic in the public eye. In the US we call this "stealing someone else's thunder". He did this quite a lot in order to win the hearts of the German public, and propaganda really had an huge effect on keeping it this way. There are still German WWII survivors whose conscience continues to still feel the affects of Goebbels propaganda machine and think themselves "heroes" in the right. This goes to show what lasting affects propaganda can have on people. Anyways, Florian Geyer himself was fighting against real tyrants of his day that abused their power. So as others have pointed out, this is not a "Nazi song".
