Bavarian presentation march
The Bavarian Presentation March ( Army March I, 11 (Army March I, 102)) was created around 1820 by the composer Wilhelm Legrand as a flag troop march , i. H. the piece was intended to frame the solemn movement of a troop flag at a military ceremony . The march has therefore also become known as the “Flag Troop March 1822/23” because it was published in the appendix of the Royal Bavarian Service Regulations “Weapon Exercises for the Royal Bavarian Infantry” (Munich 1822/23).
In the area of the former Kingdom of Bavaria , i.e. in the Free State of Bavaria and in the Palatinate on the left bank of the Rhine , it is played today when pacing an honorary formation of the Bundeswehr and thus occupies a special position within Germany , as the Prussian King's presentation march on such occasions in the majority of the federal states Friedrich Wilhelm III. is played. This deviation is officially stipulated in the service regulations of the Bundeswehr. The historical basis of this exception is the military sovereignty of Bavaria in peacetime, which the state was granted when the empire was founded in 1871 .
