KIR Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hello gentlemen,I have a small book called: "Armee-Album, von A. Bruckmanns Milit. Verlag, M?nchen",My example is from the 1. Lothringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr.130 (Metz).Inside, on 18 pages there are officiers-pictures (from the highest rank (Kaiser Wilhelm) to the commaders of the Armeekorps,the Division, the Brigade and up to the Regiments-Leutnant. (The book must be publised around 1898 and 1901.)Does anyone knows some other "Armee-Album"-books from prussian-units (there are some others from bavarian-units.)!I will be very appreciate for any information about!Thanks and best regards, Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuss=Artillerie=Regiment) and IR Nr. 130 would not be considered a Bavarian unit, it is reasonable that the series included other non-Bavarian units. Check the title page out, this sort of book would usually be published in a numbered series, if the volume is "Nr. 67", for example, one might expect other non-Bavarian units in the series.A good way to research this sort of question is to get into the on-line catalog of the National Library's Buecherei Leipzig, which should have the best collection of this sort of book in the world. I assume you might be able to borrow other books in the series through inter-library loan.Bob Lembke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIR Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 ... thank you for your answer Bob! I think so too, maybe there are some more from prussian-units!?!(Inside there are no more informations about this or other "Armee-Album" book. On the cover is a number: "65105" - but I think that's a generel number for all books of the publisher.)But that's a good idea Bob! I think you mean the "Deutsche Nationalbibliotek in Leipzig":http://eb4.d-nb.de/eng/index.htmI will asked them! Maybe we will find some more of this small and interesting books!Thank you and best regards, Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you mean the "Deutsche Nationalbibliotek in Leipzig":JensYes, I think they were known as Deutsches Buecherei Leipzig for almost 100 years, that was their name five years ago when I did a lot with them; they changed their name a couple of years ago; being an old-fashioned kind of guy, I tend to use the old name.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
