Title page of the sheet music published by August Cranz
The song was written to celebrate the centenary of the Viennese Fiaker, a horse-drawn carriage for hire. It was performed on 24 May 1885 by Alexander Girardi at a charity festival at the Rotunde in the Prater, accompanied by Nathaniel Rothschild's band conducted by Wilhelm Rab. The music was published in that year by August Cranz.[1][2]
It was Gustav Pick's most successful song, and has remained popular. The song was the basis of the 1936 German film of the same name (English title The Cabbie's Song).[1]
