Austro-Hungarian Folk Song - Prinz Eugen, der edle Ritter

Es lebe Österreich! 🇦🇹
"Prinz Eugen, der edle Ritter" (Prince Eugene, the Noble Knight) is an Austrian-German folksong about the victory of Prince Eugene of Savoy in 1717 during the Austro-Turkish War of 1716-1718. It tells of the bravery of Prince Eugene, his companion Prince Ludwig who lost his life in the battle, and their soldiers in defeating the Turks and recovering the city of Belgrade for the Holy Roman Empire. The oldest known record of the song comes from a handwritten songbook of 1719. The lyricist is unknown.
The song is a narrative of the Siege of Belgrade (1717). The text diverts from historical accuracy in two aspects. The day of the final assault on the defenders is given as the 21 August although it was 16 August. Second, the song tells of the death of one Prince Louis (Prinz Ludewig). Eugene had two brothers named Louis but none of them fell at Belgrade. The younger one, Louis Julius (1660-1683) who had entered Imperial service prior to Eugene was killed by Crimean Tatars at Petronell, whereas the older one, Louis Thomas (1657-1702) had died at the Siege of Landau (1702).
The author of the song is unknown. The melody derives from "Als Chursachsen das vernommen" (1683) and has also been adopted in the period before the German revolutions of 1848-1849 to Ob wir rote, gelbe Kragen (Whether we [wear] red or yellow collars). Josef Strauss composed in 1865 his Prinz Eugen March, Op. 186, for the unveiling of a statue of Prince Eugene at the Heldenplatz in Vienna; it uses elements of the folksong.

"Petervaradin" de çok iyi iş çıkaran komutan Eugen ile aynı kişi mi?

Bildiğim kadarıyla evet

@@AgtfCZ Ordumuz büyük kayıplar vermiş o savaşta, üstelik Pasarofça da bizim için ağır bir antlaşma olmuştu. Neyse ki sonradan Belgrad' ı Rus-Avusturya Savaşlarıyla ve sonrasında Belgrad Antlaşmasıyla geri aldık.
