The Preußischer Präsentiermarsch (Prussian Inspection March), also known as the Präsentiermarsch "Friedrich Wilhelms III.", is a German
military march composed by
Frederick William III of Prussia c. 1820. A traditional inspection march used in every German military since the mid-19th century, this is the traditional inspection and colors presentation march of the German Federal Armed Forces, the
Bundeswehr. It is also played during visits by foreign leaders to Germany by the
Staff Band of the Bundeswehr (
German: Stabsmusikkorps der Bundeswehr) during arrival honors ceremonies. It is also a favorite piece of German
marching bands, played in civil functions and parades. In Bolivia this has become the standard marchpast piece of the
Bolivian Navy, but adapted in slow time.
