I've remembered this excellent march after a very, very long time, surprised that I was ever able to forget it in the first place. Anyhow, I thought it would be nice to share it. The march was composed in 1933 and originally had lyrics too, but it was recorded as an instrumental. Two recordings were made by the Leibstandarte, in 1934 and 1938. Below, the 1934 recording.

Discographical info:
Rudelsburg und Saaleck [Marsch]
Composer: Ewald Gollmann
Lyricist: Walter Heinze
Arranger: Hermann Männecke
Instrumental Group: Musikkorps der Leibstandarte-SS „Adolf Hitler“, Berlin-Lichterfelde
Conductor: Musikmeister Hermann Müller-John
Recording Date: 20.09.1934
Recording Location: Berlin, Lützowstraße 111-112
Record Company: Deutsche Grammophon AG, Berlin

The recording originates from the Jean-Pierre Faur Collection.

Lieber Ivan,
I only know the "Telefonistinnen-Lied" : "Dort Saaleck ??? Hier die Rudelsburg !!!"
As students we had our own version:
"Was brauchen wir die Rudelsburg, was brauchen wir die Saale!
Wir haben doch Alt-Heidelberg im schönen Neckartale ..... "

Oh wonnevolle Jugendzeit ....
