Stonemason March

The Steinmetz-Marsch ( Army March II, 197 (HM II, 73)) is a Prussian military march by the composer Carl Bratfisch from 1867. Bratfisch, who was music master with the Royal Prussian 58th Infantry Regiment in Glogau at the time, composed the March in memory of the Prussian victory in the Battle of Skalitz on June 28, 1866. Bratfisch had taken part in the campaign himself.

The march was named after Karl Friedrich von Steinmetz , Colonel of the Royal Prussian Fusilier Regiment 37 in Posen , who, as the commanding general, is considered the victor of the battle.
