Marsch When Carl Teike enlisted in 1883 in the Grenadiers Regiment King Karl (5th Wuerttemberg) No. 123 in Ulm, he had already passed his apprenticeship as a musician of City Band Director Paul Böttcher at Wollin. He also had already gained musical experience in the spa orchestra of Bad Misdroy that was conducted by his teacher. Carl Teike entered the service in October 1883, and with that a period of his life began that held much promise for him. The talented French horn player soon performed in the Ulm theater orchestra, and later became a permanent member of that group. Both his company commander and his musical superior Julius Schreck did their utmost to encourage the gifted bandsman. During his time in Ulm, Carl Teike also began to compose and aptly called his first march “Am Donaustrand” (“On the Banks of the Danube”). In addition, it surely helped Teike to broaden his musical horizon when he participated in tours with the band. By the end of the 1880s the situation in the band had radically changed, as his new musical superior Paul Oelte completely deprived him any support. This caused Carl Teike to retire from the regiment by the end of 1889. Following a short hiatus in Ravensburg, he joined the ranks of the Royal Police Force in Potsdam, and in later years served as an official messenger in Landsberg on the Warthe. In the majority of cases it is not possible to trace down the origins of Carl Teike’s marches concerning time and place of composition. The lavishly decorated front cover of the piano edition of the march “In Treue fest” (“Steadfast and True”) shows the Bavarian flag and the royal coat-of-arms of Bavaria. It may be concluded that Teike was inspired to write this sparkling march during his time in Ulm. Carl Teike definitely visited the Neu-Ulm post, which is located in Bavaria on the other side of the Danube. The motto “In Treue fest” definitely attracted his attention, as it was prominently featured on the uniforms of his Bavarian comrades. The words showed up below the helmet plate and also on the belt buckles of Bavarian soldiers. The motto “In Treue fest” has its roots in the highest military order of Bavaria: The medieval “in trau vast” is the motto of the Royal Bavarian House’s Knightly Order of Holy Hubertus, which was founded in 1444.
