Common card · No. 425055

"Die Arbeiter von Wien" ("The Workers of Vienna") is an Austrian socialist song, which was most likely written in 1927 when 89 protesters were killed during the July Revolt by police forces which were firing into the outraged crowd. The text of this Arbeiterlied was written by the Viennese poet and essayist Fritz Brügel (1897–1955). The song's melody is derived from the Soviet march "White Army, Black Baron" by Samuel Pokrass.
