German Helmets WW1 - The Pickelhaube

[@jamalwilburn228]

[@jamalwilburn228]

Right before WW1, the Impeiral Army adapted the M1915 which got rid of the bright brass and silver. They went to the steel fittings which is why you see so many with dark colors. The M1895/97 were the last with shiny brass.

[@brittakriep2938]

According to no more existing Military Collection in Bartenstein Castle, some Helme mit Spitze had been in 1914 simply got been painted at brass parts. Please never use Pickelhaube , was never official term.

It is interesting that the "symbol of Prussian militarism" was created in the Russian Empire - in 1837, the prototype of the helmet, designed by Tsar Nicholas I together with the court painter, Major General of His Imperial Majesty's Retinue Lev Ivanovich Kiel, was presented to Prince Charles, who arrived on a friendly visit. The prince liked the helmet very much and, upon returning to Berlin, demonstrated it to his father, King Frederick William III and offered to equip the army with it. Frederick did not like the helmet, because it was "expensive and not practical", but as soon as he died and Frederick William IV ascended the throne, he approved the adoption of this helmet with certain changes to the original design in 1842. In Russia, the refinement continued for another two years, until 1844. The helmet was developed based on two types of headgear - the Russian cuirassier helmet of the 1835 model and the Ancient Rus helmets.

The Pickelhaube is a German symbol akin to the Luger. So much so that the symbol for "German" in sign language is to raise your finger like the spike on a Pickelhaube. The Russians, who loved the Prussian system and even copied its rank system (Gefreiter -> Yefreitor), used Pickelhauben up to the early battles in the Crimean War; and the Museum of the French Foreign Legion in Aubagne has a captured Russian Pickelhaube in its collection. In Latin America, the Pickelhaube has one of the most important places in terms of culture and has the most long standing presence. The first time the spiked helmet crossed the ocean into South America was when the Empire of Brazil contracted its second Legion of German mercenaries in 1851, nicknamed Brummers, for its war against the caudillo dictators Juan Manuel de Rosas and Manuel Oribe. The model was the 1842 standard of the time with high helmet bell (shown at 1:01), and the disciplinary system was Prussian, even though the legionaries themselves were recruited mostly from the Schleswig-Holstein, and they didn't appreciate that one bit. The uniform was bought by the Brazilian emissary Rego Barros in Hamburg, and they were the same as in the army of Schleswig-Holstein with the difference of white bottons and insignia being yellow in the Brazilian version. The jacket was dark blue and the trousers were light blue with a white lampasse; collar and cuffs where red. The infantry had the spike while the artillery and engineers had the ball on their Pickelhauben. Around 200-300 modern Dreyse rifles and carbines were also bought (probably in Mecklenburg) and used in one of the first instances of sniper employment in America, where a group of 100 German sharpshooters were used as screening force with the especific purpose of suppressing the Rosista artillery in the Battle of Monte Caseros (1852); which proved a success. Unfortunatelly, there are no known surviving examples of Brummer Pickelhauben. After that, the Brazilian military and regional police forces adopted the Pickelhaube en masse with the proclamation of the republic in late 1889, as a means of differentiating them from the monarchy uniform. The Brazilian Marines would have a version with crest instead of a spike, while other forces, such as the Paraná Military Police would have all kinds of models - from spikes, to crest, to trichter. Firefighters are part of the military police in Brazil, and were supposed to pick-up arms and fight alongside the army, and they were also with the Pickelhaube. In Germany, after the fall of the monarchy, the Pickelhaube was still used in cerimonial occasions with president Hindenburg being one of its users. One cover not mentioned in the video was the dragon top of the Imperial cuirassiers. East Germany used Pickelhauben in a few cerimonial instances because it was the official line of the DDR to present itself as the true Germany, with its true German tradition; and as such used uniforms more closely resembling those of the Second and Third Reich, while accusing Bonn of both being a US puppet and a continuation of the Nazi regime, in typical communist double-think.

[@lusciousphilosoph6392]

Everything is cool, except the helmet is of russian origin

[@jamalwilburn228]

There are lots of minor variations in a picklehaube to tell what kind of role you served in the Imperial Army. One's chiscales, wappen, crown, and base of your crown.

[@padawanmage71]

My first memory of that helmet is watching Benny Hill as he played a soldier during WW1. He saluted and ended up impaling his hand on the pointy end lol

[@Tacofiend92]

I think the Pickelhaube is one of the coolest helmets of all time

[@simeonweiss6993]

As I stated in the previous video that got taken down. The metal version of the helmet was worn by heavy cavalry units of the prussian and the saxon army after the creation of the german empire in 1871. Guards Cuirassiers and Cuirassiers had the metal helmet as welll as the 1st Royal Saxon Guards Heavy Cavalry and the Carabiniers (2nd Royal Saxon Heavy Cavalry). The heavy cavalry regiments of the Bavarian Army had the leather version. Brunswick and Bavaria where the last german states that adopted the Pickelhaube they did so in 1886 after Ludwig II death. Before that all Bavarian Units had leather helmet that was somewhat a mix between the pickelhaube and the dragoon style helmet. It was made from leather but instead of a spike it had a woolen comb in German it was called Raupenhelm (caterpillar helmet). The reason the swedisch Life Guards where the metal helmet is because they where the fittings of a heavy cavalry regiment the Infantry component of the swedish Life Guards wear pickelhaube or grenadier style bearskins. When high ranking prussian officers or officuals whore the metal helmet they did so because they where a honorary member of one of these regiments and whore their Uniforms. Like Bismarck who often whore the Uniform of the Seydlitz Cuirassiers or Wilhelm II who often whore the Uniform of the Life Guards.

[@brittakriep2938]

Some Metal Versions had been had been from Steel, few of a copperbased alloy , in german called Tombak. With exeption of noted helmet variations, some other Metal/ leather helmets existed for the palace only Units of Prussia and smaller rulers. In Prussia such an in Palace unit had been the Leibgendarmen, or in Bavaria the Hartschiere. Those palace Units had been the unly Military Units, the rulers lower than King still had under Personal command, the Main troops of Greatdukes, Dukes, Princes ( and governing Mayors of Hamburg, Bremen and Lübeck) came with Military conventions of 1867 and 1871 into prussian Army, so under command of prussian King.

[@simeonweiss6993]

@@brittakriep2938 You're right, 5 Regiments had the Tombak helmet both Guards Regiments (Life Guards, and Guards Cuirassiers, 6th Cuirassiers and both Saxon Regiments. Some of the Jäger zu Pferd Regiments (light Cavalry Regiments like the french chasseurs a cheval but rasied from dispatch rider detachments so their uniforms where derived from the heavy cavalry in germany) had a blackened version of the steel helmet the others had the leather pickelhaube that was worn by the Dragoon Regiments. Yes the Leibgendarmen whore the same style helmet. While the helmet of the Bavarian Hartschiere was also made of steel it was antother style of helmet with the neckguard not extending as far and bowl of the helmet being noticeably higher.

@@simeonweiss6993 : l am Brittas boyfriend, only using her Computer too. My girlfriend is very interessted in historic civilians dress and haircuts, i in Military uniforms and weapons, so visiting a Museum together is fun. I am no expert, but after 40 years of visiting dozens of museums, castles and collections, reading german language books and magazines about weapons and Military History, i have Basic knowledge. When talking with Museum Staff, reenactors, collectors, huntsmen, target shooters or Security guards, they are sometimes surprised. That in time of ,Second German Empire ' both Line Infantry and Dragoons ( Dragoner) wore Same Style of helmet, that is no surprise. When Dragoner appeared in 16th century, they had been only , mounted infantry ', using badest available riding horses only for fast moving or when used as , Infantry Support ' to cavallry Units. When in 16th /18th century 1000 cavallry men had as adition 300 mounted infantrymen , this Mixed unit could do much more than a pure cavallry unit. And Frederik ll of Prussia noted: Don' t forgett infantry Training of Dragoner! They mostly serve today on horseback, so infantry Training must Not have quality of Line Infantry, but it is still necessary!

[@ohnenamen2843]

Small correction: the steel Pickelhaube was actually the original desgin. But it was thought to be too heavy for the infantry. So it became the cavalery version which was just liked by the nobility bc they prefered the looks. Plus Otto von Bismarck also is often depicted with a curassiers uniform (heavy cavilary) bc those were seen as the bravest, the ones that break the lines of the enemy. And people wanted to paint Bismarck the same way

The pickelhaube is one of the best looking helmets ever

[@Name-ps9fx]

This wasn't mentioned, but I always wondered why the British helmet was relatively narrow in height, but with a wide brim, compared to most of the others being more a symmetrical "bowl" shape....this was because most head injuries happened from artillery, which often exploded above the ground (10'-30' ), sending shrapnel downward. The British helmet provided a bit more coverage than the others.

[@JH-lo9ut]

That may be, but mostly it's because they couldn't press it any further without weakening the steel. The British priority was to get as many helmets out, as quickly as possible. The French helmet is made of riveted panels, where the seam is covered by the brass crest. The stahlhelm is better in every way, but it requires something like eight or nine pressings to achieve that shape. Germany had already a very advanced steel pressing industry, but it is remarkable that they opted for such a complicated shape under wartime conditions.

[@vfxeriksen8694]

The concept of head injury reports increasing simply because the soldiers were alive and well to report them is interesting. Just because there's a lot of something doesn't necessarily mean that something is bad. It could be the opposite as it was in this case. Very interesting.

[@517342]

It's an effect called survivorship bias. It also played a huge role in damages and injuries with bomber planes and their pilots in WW2. Very interesting to look at.

In Germany the similar helmets with a ball had been for artillrymen, preventing accidents among guncrew, and representing cannonball. The word Pickelhaube was in Germany never official termunly a popular nickname, officially this helmet was called Helm mit Spitze/helmet with point, so french , casque a point' is corect. Only a different helmet, used by Police in German Part of Austro- Hungarian Empire was realy officially called Pickelhaube. And Pickelhaube translated as Gurkenhelm is possible, but: Haube, was centuries ago sometimes really a helmet, see the Sturmhauben used by Landsknechte, spanish Moiron was in HRE known as Spanische Sturmhaube, Zischägge for their roots as Orientalische Sturmhaube. ( compare Zischägge with imperial Metal Version of Helm mit Spitze, especially Neck piece). But today, and in time when Helm mit Spitze was used, Haube means a Kind of womens headgear, you today see only in use, when a woman wears Dress in very old Style ( before 1900) and a Pickel is in German a pickaxe or an icepick, okay the tool is sometimes called Spitzhacke/ pointed hew. Today, you no more see a Helm mit Spitze? Do some research about Historische Bürgerwehren ( historical citizens militias), since 1860s no more
