Preußens Gloria is the second favorite of the German marches that I've heard so far.
the favorite that I've heard is this, the Badenweiler march. Apparently it was also Der Führer's favorite march, which further shows he was a man of style and taste, even if you don't want to grant him anything else

I'm a huge fan of Military marches.

For German marches, I have about just under a hundred. German marches are distinctive because they tend to focus more on catchy phrasing than other countries. Here are a few of my favorites.

^Radetsky March. Radetzky March, Op. 228, is a march composed by Johann Strauss Sr. in 1848. It was dedicated to the Austrian Field Marshal Joseph Radetzky von Radetz, and became quite a popular march among soldiers.

^ Einzug der Gladiatoren. Written by a Czech guy during the Austro-Hungarian Empire and was very popular. Everybody knows the intro. The trombone feature is absolutely powerful. The key change is amazing towards the end and gives the song a nice contrast. The finish is also powerful. It's a timeless classic.

^Not all marches have to feel strong and powerful. This song has a unique unsettling harmony for a march- gives it a distinctive feel of beautiful dissonance- always been one of my favorites. The end is nice and powerful.

There's just too many good ones to list....

When it comes to marching music, you can't beat the Germans. I love Finnish military marches, but credit where it is due.

Here are a couple of favourites:

Does the Horst Wessel Lied count as marching music?
