The old forester's house is a song written by Walter Brandin , for which Rudi Stemmler composed the music.
The song was originally intended as a joke: A "super-schnulze" was supposed to combine all the clichés of German folk music and German hit music. The music publisher August Seith saw the song as having the potential for serious publication. In 1954, both Friedel Hensch and the Cyprys published the song as well as the Rodgers duo . Both versions were able to place themselves in the hit parade of the magazine “Der Automatenmarkt”, with which the stakes on the jukeboxes were counted. By the summer of 1956, half a million records had been sold, and the Friedel-Hensch version alone sold almost a million records.
The song was parodied by the Peheiros . The text for this came from Hans Hee , closely following the original. Litigation ensued over who was entitled to the copywriting fees for the parody.
