Which of Franz Schubert `s million&one "Landlers" are famous or recognisable to the man-on-the-street, please?

Probably not any of them. The man on the street problably would have trouble even recognizing the "Unfinished Symphony" let alone some German landlers.

Not that I don't like them -- I think they are charming -- but they for the most part are not profound, and they all start to sound alike after a while.

The only Schubert which the average man on the street would recognise is the following:

That's how musically uneducated people are!

Glinzek is completely on the money here. They are such out and out 'Brauchsmusik' (utility music) they're almost not-particularly-memorable by design.

(Ländler are rustic German/Austrian folkdances in 3/4 time, in part precursors to the later waltz, for those mistakenly wondering and responding as if there was a typing error in the question and Lieder were the subject..)

Hmmm, you would think more people on Yahoo answers would be into folk dancing...oh well Schubert and Bhrams are my favorites, for what its worth

by far the most famous Lied/song (Ländler is something different) is "Das Wandern (to wander)" from the song cycle "Die schöne Müllerin". it's still sung by folk music groups and in german schools, but it sounds a bit more "folkloristic" than by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau in the video below.

and also well known is the song "Der Lindenbaum" from the song cycle "Winterreise", not only in Germany, also in Austria and Switzerland.

I think they're called Lieder, the only one I can remember is 'To Music'.
