Berliner Luft was written well before WW2. Paul Lincke was a Berlin Cafe
musician. He also wrote the 'Glow Worm'. I am not surprised that it was
played at the coming down of the wall. When I was in Berlin 'Berliner Luft'
was the unofficial anthem for Berlin.

Although I don't believe it has been arranged for brass band I think it is
available for "Fanfare" as well as "Harmonie" or concert band. The original
publisher was a Berlin company whose name I cannot remember. However it may
be worth contacting a german publishing company called Halter. I believe they
may be in Karlsruhe.

Good hunting.
