Additional info/contents	When one thinks of the continuing success, even today, of a series of sparkling Teike marches, one usually assumes that the composer Carl Teike was able to "make a good living from his music". Far from it, for the modest man, whose generosity is documented, did not live in abundance at any time: the emerging promising career of a military musician in the time of the Empire came to an unexpected end in Ulm. The "Upper Swabian intermezzo" in Ravensburg that followed does not seem to have been particularly rewarding for the Prussian Teike either, so that Carl Teike then went to Potsdam, where he served as a policeman. Mind you: he had no connection with the music of the police. A serious illness finally forced him to resign from the police force. He spent the last part of his life as an official messenger in Landsberg an der Warthe. Joachim Toeche Mittler, the well-known German expert on the history of military music, classified the march "Graf Zeppelin", composed in 1903, whose original title was "Teutonic March", as "immortal" and is probably right. Under various titles such as "The Conqueror" or "Marsch der Luftflotte", it has virtually become the epitome of the best German marching art in many countries.
