Hi, everyone; I wonder of you could help me out. I`m looking for sheet music for a march called Der Königrätzer (or Der Koenigraetzer it might be spelled on English sites). It was written in the late 1800`s by Gottfried Piefke I think. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

Der Koeniggratzer was written by Gottfried Piefke in 1866 to celebrate the Prussian victory at Koenigratz in the Austro-Prussian war. It was featured in the book burning scene in "Indiania Jones & the Last Crusade."

It is still a popular favourite for military bands, and you can find sheet music on German music web sites (especially military).

Hope this helps. he also wrote Prussians Gloria, another favourite.
