The Hohenfriedberger March is a Prussian/German march that was written after the Prussian victory over the Austrians (and Saxons) at Hohenfriedberg (nowadays called Dobromierz, South-West Poland) in 1745, and is specially dedicated to the Prussian Dragoner-Regiment Nr. 5, for they have destroyed 20 Austrian and Saxon battalions, took 2,500 prisoners, and captured 67 regimental standards, losing only 6 officers and 28 men killed. Assisting the Prussian to gain a decisive victory, the Austrian Prinz Karl was forced to retreat in disarray. After the charge at Hohenfriedberg, the regiment was permitted to wear a golden 67 on their cartridge cases. They also received a diploma from Frederick the Great, naming all officers who took part in the charge and praising the regiment, as well as granting them their own regimental march, the Hohenfriedberger March, composed by Frederick himself.

Schnall um deinen Säbel

Sich das preußische Heer

Drum, Kinder, seid lustig
und allesamt bereit:
Auf, Ansbach-Dragoner!
Auf, Ansbach-Bayreuth!
