Summary

[edit]
Description
English: WWI Imperial German Army spiked helmet (German: Pickelhaube, Danish: pikkelhjelm) M1915 on display at the Danish War Museum (Krigsmuseet) in Copenhagen.
  • The helmet has belogned to a soldier of the Füsilier-Regiment „Königin“ (Schleswig-Holsteinisches) Nr. 86 (Danish: et danskerregiment fra Slesvig), an infantry unit of the Prussian Army (Preußische Armee).
  • The Imperial German Army (1871–1919), officially referred to as the German Army (German: Deutsches Heer), was the unified ground and air force of the German Empire. It was established in 1871 with the political unification of Germany under the leadership of Prussia, and was dissolved in 1919, after the defeat of the German Empire in World War I (1914–1918).
  • The Pickelhaube or Pickelhelm, is a spiked leather or metal helmet that was worn in the 19th and 20th centuries by Prussian and German soldiers of all ranks, firefighters and police. Although it is typically associated with the Prussian Army, which adopted it in 1842–43, the helmet was widely imitated by other armies during that period.
  • The military headdress has a Prussian Eagle (Preußen-Adler) ornamentation with the motto 'With God for King and Fatherland' (Mit Gott für König und Vaterland); i. e. a crowned Prussian Grenadier-Adler state eagle clutching a sword and scepter in its claws, over the King's motto of a badge established by Friedrich Wilhelm III in 1813, the Landwehr Cross (Landwehrkreuz).
