I fell in love with a girl on the Rhine

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I fell in love with a girl on the Rhine is the opening line of the chorus to a marching song that the pianist, composer and music publisher Austin Egen composed with Franz Doelle in 1927 . Fritz Rotter wrote the text.

The song was published by CM Roehr and was used in the revue Die Welt applaudiert (also: Alles nackt! ), Which James Klein performed in autumn 1927 at the Komische Oper Berlin with several hits by Franz Doelle and Austin Egen.

Fritz Rotter's text was also distributed on song postcards; there were also a series of motif postcards with photos provided, under which lines of the refrain were printed.

It is one of the numerous Rhine and Weinlieder that was popular in the second half of the Weimar Republic in the patriotic enthusiasm after the Allied occupation of the Rhineland .

It appeared in the interpretation of popular singers such as Franz Baumann , Max Kuttner or Harry Steier on several gramophone records from leading manufacturers and was also broadcast on the radio.
