Utgardloki Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I recently went through allot of regimental histories and also the book "Geschichte der königlich preußischen Fahnen und Standarten seit dem Jahre 1807" and was wandering what happened to all these Fahnen. Is there any publication were it is written down which ones are lost (or no one knows were they are) and which ones are still there and were they are. It is very hard to find detailed photographs of the ones still existing, so if there are good books let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prussian Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Hello! There is a "sticky picture album" from "Bulgaria Fahnenbilder", called "Ruhmreiche Fahnen deutscher Geschichte" (published in the 30s) You can get it at ebay, if you look at "Ruhmreiche Fahnen deutscher Geschichte" But be careful, that the sticky pictures are complete 256 pictures)! Those albums can be found between 20 an 80€. Each troop flag is described. But it´s from the 30s, so you can´t see where the flags are today! German language! https://www.ebay.de/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p4712.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.XRuhmreiche+Fahnen+deutscher+Geschichte.TRS0&_nkw=Ruhmreiche+Fahnen+deutscher+Geschichte&_sacat=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utgardloki Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 Thanks for the answers. Yeah those collecting albums are pretty nice, I am going to get one. I am looking forward that someone decides to gather information for a new publication. Schöne Grüße! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Hello, When the Armnistice was signed on 11th November 1918, all German Army units remained intacts and beginned the long road Home .with weapons flags and musical bands. they returned to their peace garrisons . It was for some regiments a long and hazardous return as in the case of the Cavalry Regiments desployed in Ucraina.well by January of 1919 almost with all the Army in Germany ,the Units were disbanded . the flags and standards went to some place .this place is what you may discover. perhaps the Zeughaus in Berlin, perhaps the Garnisonkirche in Potsdam . In the French museum de Les Invalides exists some German Flags losed during WW1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utgardloki Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) Has anyone pictures of the flags in the St Louis Chapel, I couldn't find anyone... That is a very interesting text about the flag collection at the Zeughaus Berlin: https://www.flaggenkunde.de/veroeffentlichungen/11-45.htm Edited October 14, 2019 by Utgardloki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
