Wandsbek Museum turns down an offer of old photos

Recommended Posts

Last week a visitor to the Museum offered a batch of mixed old photos. The Museum turned these down. However, the visitor offered to leave these with the museum for two weeks in order that the photos be copied for the Museum's use. However, it turned out that the Museum does not "require" the photos whatsoever!
I thought this was rather a shame, so I quickly photographed these, so that some record remains. Most of the photos are of Hussars of various regiments, including a splendid example of a Reserve Officer of the Leib-Husaren-Regiment 2 in Danzig in full parade uniform,
this taken at a studio in a very exclusive part of Hamburg city centre near the Alster. Another photo is of the Brunswick Hussar Regiment 17, a shoulder portrait of a Füsilier of Füsilier-Regiment 86 in Flensburg with shoulder monogram, and another very early photo of a Tambour (drummer) in full field uniform of that regiment, also a faded tin-plate photo of a Hussar and two Ulans, around 1870.

Another large batch of photos was also offered to the Museum, which they again turned down. There are some really nice photos included.
More to be posted later. This particular photo is inscribed: Weihnachten 1914. A Christmas photo, all in different uniforms and from the IX. Armee-Korps.
They are very likely a group of young war volunteers directly from a school class, enlisting in different regiments. The man in the centre is clearly a volunteer
in Mecklenburg Dragoner-Regiment 17 (Ludwigslust), very fine quality uniform.
All but one are wearing peacetime uniforms, as fieldgrey was in shortage.
Those remaining from left to right can be identified as
Füsilier-Regt.Königin Nr.86 (Flensburg)
Infanterie-Regt. Hamburg Nr.76 (no shoulder straps, but cockade "Hanseatic")
Mecklenburg Grenadier-Regt.89 (Schwerin)
Feldartillerie-Regt.45 (Rendsburg/Altona)
