"I Lost My Heart in Heidelberg" (German: Ich hab' mein Herz in Heidelberg verloren) is a German song composed in 1925 by Fred Raymond with lyrics by Fritz Löhner-Beda and Ernst Neubach. The song was an immediate popular hit, and in 1927 Raymond included it in a musical of the same name. Two films, released in 1926 and in 1952, take their titles from the song. It remains the theme song of Heidelberg.[1] It was recorded in Britain by the duo Bob and Alf Pearson.
The English-language lyrics used in The Student's Romance (1935) are by Harry S. Pepper.

Harry Steier (born January 23, 1878 in Frankfurt am Main, † January 16, 1936 in Berlin) was a German opera singer (tenor).
Life
Harry Steier showed an unusual musical talent as a child. Since the age of 10 he received singing lessons; He gave his first solo concert at the age of 12. Under pressure from his father, he began an apprenticeship as a construction technician after finishing school and attended the Frankfurt School of Applied Arts for some time due to his talent for drawing, but ultimately his urge for music turned out to be too pronounced. Steier studied singing at the renowned Raffschen Conservatory in Frankfurt; After completing his five-year studies, he initially worked as a music teacher himself and led several choirs. However, he was soon drawn to the stage, where he quickly gained an excellent reputation as a Wagner interpreter and also as a song singer. His favorite roles were the characters of Mime in Wagner's Siegfried, David in the Mastersingers and Jaquino in Fidelio, as well as all of Lortzing's Buffo parts.
Steier got his first permanent engagement for the season 1910–1911 at the Stadttheater in Kiel. 1913–1914 he sang at the Stadttheater in Bern, then in Freiburg, Augsburg and from 1916 at the German Opera House in Berlin-Charlottenburg, to whose ensemble he would belong for many years. In 1923 he went on a tour of the United States, which included several critical appearances at the New York Metropolitan Opera.
Between October 1923 and May 1924 he sang for the Victor Co. in Camden and New York a number of records in German with songs from operettas and folk estate.
In the following years, Steier sang several times as a guest at the Bayreuth Festival; In 1928 he went on a long tour through South America.
In the last years of his life, Steier dealt intensively with the German-language folk song. At Carl-Lindström-AG he recorded well over 100 records with folk song performances for the Beka and Odeon labels, largely dispensing with the vocal pathos that was common in his time in favor of a translation of carefully researched historical texts and melodies that was as true to the original as possible. It is thanks to his diligence that many old folk songs have been preserved in authentic interpretations for posterity.
In 1933 he tried to ingratiate himself with the new rulers. His song Adolf Hitler's favorite flower is the simple edelweiss was greeted with joy by the National Socialists, but was withdrawn from circulation as "national kitsch" as early as 1939. [1]
Harry Steier died, a week before his 58th birthday, on January 16, 1936 in Berlin. His grave is in the state-owned cemetery Heerstraße in Berlin-Westend (grave location: 12-B-19/20). The grave memorial is a pedestal with a pedestal, crowned by a laurel wreath with a lyre. [2]

Quick note on grading:
The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately
When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an above average quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example with some noise.
These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.
