Beatmap Listing » Comedian Harmonists - Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht

The Silent-Night-Chapel (Stille-Nacht-Kapelle), located in the town Oberndorf (Austria), is a monument to the Christmas carol Silent Night, its librettist Joseph Mohr and its composer Franz Xaver Gruber. It stands in place of the former St. Nicholas Church, where the Christmas carol was performed for the first time on the 24th of December 1818.

The Comedian Harmonists were an internationally famous, all-male German close harmony ensemble that performed between 1928 and 1934 as one of the most successful musical groups in Europe before World War II. They eventually ran into trouble with Germany's Nazi-regime as three of the group members were either Jewish or of Jewish descent. The Nazis prohibited the 'non-Aryans' from perfoming in public, resulting in them fleeing and the group splitting into two new groups, and finding three new members each. Neither group was able to achieve the original success of the Comedian Harmonists, and by 1941, both groups had broken up. Although all members survived the war, they never re-formed after the war.
