Alte Kamaraden
"Old Comrades" is a German military march composed by Carl Teike in 1889. It is included in the AM as HM II, 150.
The march was written around 1889 in Ulm. Composer Carl Teike wrote many pieces for the marching band of Grenadier-Regiment König Karl (5. Württembergisches) No. 123. When bringing his newly composed march to the regiment, the Kapellmeister Oelte simply told him: "We've got plenty enough of musical marches, put this one in the stove!" This episode eventually led to Teike taking his leave of the band and naming the march as "Old Comrades". A publisher purchased the song from him for 25 German Goldmark. In 1895, the Nowaweser Kapelle Fritz Köhler premiered the march.Alte Kameraden later became one of the most popular marches in the world. It was played in 1937 at the coronation ceremony for English King George VI. The march can also be heard in the 1930 film Der blaue Engel. Teike later worked as a police officer but also continued composing military marches.
Due to its militaristic connotations, the march was banned in Germany after the First and Second World War. According to one source, the march became popular among Finnish amateur photography clubs after "kameraden" was mistranslated to "cameramen" in Finnish.
