In the Latvian Radio 3 series "Do You Know?", cultural researchers and historians explore various terminologies and artifacts. This particular episode delves into the dance "Smuka, smuka meitiņa," which is a popular form of 'eilender' dance in Latvia today. It suggests that this dance is closely tied to original materials from Germany, highlighting its cultural significance and heritage.

The music associated with "Smuka, smuka meitiņa" is among the top ten known 'eilender' dances in Germany, where it is recognized by the name "Reilenders - There is a wood auction in Grunwald.” The melody bears a striking resemblance to the late 19th-century hit "There is a wood auction in Grunwald," composed by Franz Meisner. This connection points to the dance's historical roots and its transmission from Germany to Latvia.

The narrative traces the music's origins back to the 19th-century forested area of Grunwald, Berlin, which underwent considerable transformation during that period due to extensive deforestation aimed at harvesting valuable timber. By 1890, approximately 234 hectares of forest were cleared and sold at auction, signifying not only economic activity but also a shift in social and cultural practices that led to the creation and adaptation of this dance within Latvian culture.
