Farkas Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Hi Gents This is a mounted photo of the Kaisers yacht Hohenzollern... Nice pencil annotation on the rear..... Gents, I read the date as either 1870 or 1876? However... Googled it just now and as you can see below it says in service 1878 - 1918. So seems to be an early picture... Hope you like it tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hello tony , the yacht in the photo is the Seeadler former Hohenzollern . she served as Kaiseryacht between 1880 and 1892 . It was replaced by a much modern unit which took the name . the ship was renamed Seeadler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) Hi Bayern. Not quite correct, I am afraid. The Hohenzollern (I) served as Kaiseryacht under the names of Hohenzollern and after the new Hohenzollern was launched in June 1891 as the renamed KAISERADLER. As there already was a ship by the name KAISERADLER (a cruiser) that was renamed SEEADLER. Only after the new Hohenzollern was put into service in April 1893 the Kaiseradler was decommisioned in October of 1893. However, it saw service one more time during the opening of the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Kanal on 21st June 1895 when it was the temporary home of the Kings of Saxony and Wurttemberg and the prince-regent of Bavaria Luitpold. It was permanently decommissioned in August of that year. Find attached from my collection a) a rare aerial view of the new Hohenzollern at the Landungsbrücken in HH 1903 or 1906 b) a member of the crew with respective cap tally Edited October 28, 2018 by GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hi gents, Bayern, GreyC thanks for the answers.... So I’m now guessing that the note in the centre was added later. An expansion of the original smaller note at the bottom. That would explain the date being off? The bottom reads... Kaiseradler chemialize* Hohenzollern * chem abbrev above it what is the middle word please? thanks gents tony 15 hours ago, Bayern said: Hello tony , the yacht in the photo is the Seeadler former Hohenzollern . she served as Kaiseryacht between 1880 and 1892 .

GreyC Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hi, there is no discrepancy in the writing on the back of the photo. It says Stapellauf 1876 and Kaiseradler ehemalige Hohenzollern. All true. GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyC Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 The middle one says on the front something like (rhymed in German): Oh how well does he feel, who just finished his last watch/guard duty. On the reverse the brother writes to his sister, that he rather enjoys having just ended his military duty. He is now in some business-premises he used to work in in Dresden and looks forward to coming to Manheim. GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably of the 108 th Schutzen Regiment . one man wears tschako , the uniform colour was dark green with black collar and cuffs all piped in red . They could be also of the second saxon jaeger bataillon both units were stationed in Dresden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyC Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) Hi! The card with the "Kapelle d. bad. Leib-Grenardier-Regiments Karlsruhe" is interesting on front AND back. It is addressed to a Mr. Hug who seems to own a publishing house for sheet music in Konstanz. The sender informs him, that the band will play a concert with accompanying dinner for the audience in this city. The sender asks Mr Hug if he could possibly do the job of arranging the music for that occasion. Congrats! The publishing house seems to still exist today: https://hug-musikverlage.ch/ GreyC Edited November 5, 2018 by GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
