- This Song had been composed in 1920s when The German Republic of Weimar had founded, it tells about Geyer Florian and his Peasants who had followed him to against the Landlords from 1524 until the downfall in 1525, and you guys all know, in World War II there’s a SS division name.... well, I couldn’t tell it here;
some translations in this song maybe wrong. So, if you’re German or German Learner, you may help me by suggest below the Comment section, thank for all!

I can hear Szara Piechota in some parts 🤯
Thanks for sharing.
Awesome
There are many amry songs with a final stanza about coming back home after the war, this is the only one I've heard which has this stanza admitting defeat instead of celebrating a victory.
been listening to a TON of German ( and other countries ) military music ( prior, during, and after Nazi Germany Era ) due to youtubes weird algorithm lol ( dont mind it tho ), and I gotta say, German songs go hard. Especially imho 55 days at Peking. I dare say that German songs just sound way better than our own English songs.
Very powerful song
Whats very interesting about this song is how during the weimar republic, everyone from anarchists to authoritarian communists and even facists sang it. for very different reasons, mind you, but still. fascinating.
im an anarchist myself, and i reckon more of us should adopt this anthem.
Seconded
If you're think communists are authoritan, that's means wahy ypu're know history and polics at very low level :)
@@rallarix7996some are, some arent, and the anarchists are mostly also communist. I am a libertarian socialist/anarcho-communist myself. i just said that to list off the gambit of people who used this song.
@@rallarix7996mate , bolshevics whole idea is proleterian dictatorship
@@mikemiki2328The concept of the "dictatorship of the proletariat" first arises in Marx's literature, and is absolutely not just a bolshevik idea. All Marxists believe in the establishment of the proletarian dictatorship. To be clear: when Marx uses "dictatorship" in this sense, he is not referring to autocracy or a single despot commanding a nation. Remember, the proletariat is the whole class of workers. Rather, Marx is referring to a class dictatorship, wherein the proletarian class makes the "dictates" or controls society. This is contrasted with the dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie or, in simpler terms, capitalism.
This sounds very norse for some reason, probably because of Germanic language connection

This is sung in High German, not a southern dialect.
It is just a more archaic form of High German with words that are no longer commonly used.
Alemannic and Bavarian are the two southern dialect groups of German, and since I am a native speaker of Alemannic and I also know Bavarian very well from my father's side of the family, I should know ...

Why did they uprise?
Instability and distrust in the nobility and clergy in the 1500s due to the Protestant reformation, Italian wars, and the growing influence over the empire from Spain

@HereComesTheMoney1 Parts of German-speaking Central Europe, especially what is now Germany, Alsace, Switzerland, and Austria.
@@HereComesTheMoney1just look up 'german peasants war' and read about it
I am curious as to why they wanted so badly to set the monastery on fire. I would have thought the peasants would have had bigger beef with the nobility, or with the church hierarchy. I thought the monks took a vow of celibacy and poverty and cloistered themselves, minding their own business in the monastery. Why would the peasants want to pick a fight with them?
cause all monks were rich back in the time. They owned a lot of stuffs such as lands and big fancy mansions.
You clearly aren't familiar with how the Cistercians were back in the day; they literally were major landowners and defacto slave drivers, in fact they were like that not long after their founding. They even cheated local people who signed up to join the monastery by making them do all the physical work without ever promoting or even educating them whatsoever, even in the local vernacular.
They even had internal feuds that got very bloody, just like the secular nobility, sometimes on ethnic lines like in England and Ireland, but other times it was political, either internally or externally. They also were active in persecutions along with the Dominican Order, including the infamous "Albigensian Crusade".
Mind you, this was also back when the Pope could and did have people condemned to enslavement for all sorts of reasons, even entire cities (Florentines in 1376, the Venetians (1309, 1283 and 1509) and the Colonna family in 1535), and in at least one case the wives of clergymen (Pope Urban II, 1089, Council of Melfi) to enforce celibacy.
There wasn't anything holy about them; they were as flawed, imperfect, fallible, and wretched as any human, and just as vulnerable to the corrupting temptations of power that everyone else is.
I'm not even getting into the stuff a certain Borgia got up to, which hasn't been repudiated to this very day.
@@teamnoob52These monks were basically warlords? Medieval Europe being Medieval Europe.
german peasants war is so complex, both the protestant and catholics form an alliance to crush them because they want to destroy aristocracy which is considered radical during that time
@@teamnoob52 And what was Martin Luther's problem with the peasants? You'd think he'd support them in their confrontation.
"Old German Rebel Song" it would be better you write
German had many rebels so I can’t rewrite.
Is that a fricking shoe for a banner?
yes, the peasant's boot was his banner
The Bundshu, although technically a different rebellion, I can imagine they used the same iconography since they were similar rebellions.
I mean both the Dutch revolutionaries and the Parliamentarians used orange so I could see it.

@@gabrielcristian8038Cringe Pop History dingus not knowing that this Latin Phrase comes from Acts 2:44 and 4:32 and is therfore pretty much in the Ballpark of a Portestant Peasant Uprising.
Thomas Müntzer even used this phrase when they tried to form a greater alliance with other peasant Uprisings like the Anabaptists.
I believe the only specter haunting you is the worms in your brain.
@@Bartnuschler Cringe Pop History dingus not knowing that The song who's rite in Weimar Republic and who's yous bother by the Nazi and the GDR. I am prity shour that there weren't many Portestant Peasant Uprising
in 1920.I have now idea why the Nazi you'd this song .(mauby bikes he melody of the song is arranged by German songwriter and later Nazi Fritz Sotke (1902-1970)). The GDR you'd the song bikes of its he lyrics are noted for their strong anti-clerical and anti-noble themes.
On question did Heinrich von Reder rite this song to inspire Portestant Peasant Uprising. or did he have sum Uther reason.
@@gabrielcristian8038 the anon has the profile picture of an anarchist philosopher, Mikhail Bakunin, who had falling out with Marx.
Also, 'OMNIA SUNT COMMUNINA' means something like 'All things belong to the common!', which, I suppose, portrays the spirit of the hymn well if we account that the aim of the HRE Peasant's Revolt was purging the aristocracy and clergy.
Go back to God while you still can God Bless you all Amen
Is there something anti-Christian about this song?
no
@@peytonscott9023No I think this is just a Christian spam comment.
@@BigScreamingBaby As an actual christian, I honestly despise these comments.
They never actually change anyone's minds, it honestly seems like they harm the witness of god's kingdom on earth.
@@memeboi6017 Yeah I think these comments come from some peoples interpretation of 1 Corinthians 12, which if I'm not wrong basically says all Christians have to spread the word of God in their own way be it preaching or through actions or by teaching or any other way you can think of. So then these spammers take it in the most litteral way by just going to random post on online and saying "God loves follow Jesus ect ect ect" no matter how unrelated to Christianity or religion in general said post is(for example I've seen comments like this on shit posts lmao). While the Idea is nice and all I wholeheartedly doubt anyone has ever seen one of these comments and converted to Christianity.

Isn't this song about 8th SS Cavalry Division? That's why they say "We are Geyer's black division" etc.
The “Florian Geyer” SS division was named after Florian Geyer, a commander in the German peasant revolts of the 1520s on the side of the peasants. This song is directly based on Florian Geyer & his role in the peasant revolt, & actually predates the German Reich, going all the way back to 1920 during the transition from the Empire to the Weimar Republic
@@Gage_The_Comrade_or_Something Ohhhhhh. Thank you very much for enlightening me man.
"Haufen" also doesnt mean Division, Battalion, or similar, but rather a pile or group in General.
@@diffkopfhorde or pile would be the "best" Translations

Fun fact he's wearing a warmackt uniform
Who? And you didn’t spell Wehrmacht right
Shame this is German tbh. Of course it comes from a German region but Latin would be nicer since it promotes more unity in Europe and possibly the world.
would make little sense in the context of the song and its content though. Thomas Müntzer and Florian Geyer were very much opposed to using latin as they were protestants
And why would it need to do that? This is a German folk song, not a pan-european song.
This is just straight up cringe.
Are you daft … Germany was more of the promoter of a United Europe

İsnt this song about teutonic crusaders or this is a version
No it's the peasants war
Ironically, Florian Geyer's brother was Grandmaster of the Teutonic Order, and Florian had actually negotiated a peace treaty between him and the Kingdom of Poland.
Said peace treaty involved officially secularizing the Teutonic Order...not that they were ever all that unworldly.
Kinda funny how Florian Geyer then went and warred against the same kind of authorities his brother's order had imposed and propped up in the Baltic. I guess it hits different when it's your own people.
