English Summary: Germany is still considered a promised land of music. Outstanding composers, celebrated interpreters and famous orchestras are extremely attractive internationally. At the same time, the self-image of the Germans as a particularly musically cultural nation rests on them. Musicians in their broad masses have been the foundation of this reputation since the 19th century. They sat in orchestra pits or performed in ensembles for dance, gave a garden concert with the military band or provided background music in the silent film cinema. Martin Rempe traces their living and working environments between art, play and work. The detailed portrait of the professional group in its pursuit of social advancement and social recognition is the first to present a music story from below that sheds new light on German music life in the 19th and 20th centuries. German Description: Bis heute gilt Deutschland als gelobtes Land der Musik. Herausragende Komponisten, gefeierte Interpreten und beruhmte Orchester uben eine Anziehungskraft aus, die international seinesgleichen sucht. Auf ihnen ruht zugleich das Selbstverstandnis der Deutschen als einer besonders musikalischen Kulturnation. Das Fundament, auf dem diese Reputation seit dem 19. Jahrhundert gedeihen konnte, bildeten Musiker und Musikerinnen in ihrer breiten Masse. Sie sassen in Orchestergraben oder spielten in Ensembles zum Tanz auf, gaben mit der Militarkapelle ein Gartenkonzert oder sorgten im Stummfilmkino fur die musikalische Untermalung. Ihnen und ihren Lebens- und Arbeitswelten zwischen Kunst, Spiel und Arbeit spurt dieses Buch nach. Mit dem detaillierten Portrat der Berufsgruppe in ihrem Streben nach sozialem Aufstieg und gesellschaftlicher Anerkennung wird erstmals eine Musikgeschichte 'von unten' vorgelegt, die das deutsche Musikleben im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert in einem neuen Licht erscheinen lasst.
