Stunningly restored footage showing the arrival of corporals in training in Wetzlar, Germany. At Wetzlar station the soldiers are received by gendarme Otto Wallenreich among others. After the arrival of the train, local notabilities, including the non-commissioned officer of Wetzlar District Command, welcome the corporals in training. Lead by the captain, his adjutants and the company lieutenant, the brigade exits the station, marches through Bahnhofstraße and takes formation at Wetzlar cathedral square. Because the mayor of Wetzlar is indisposed on this day, councillor Siegmund Hiepel inspects the soldiers together with the commander. The brigade marches off.

The officer seen at 4:08 with the skull on his Pickelhaube is Oberleutnant Rudolf Friedrich Ritter von Voightländer. He was born in Brussels in 1884 and joined Braunschweigisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 92 as a Fähnrich in 1903, commissioning as a Leutnant the next year. When the Great War broke out about five months after this was filmed, he was assigned to Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 78 (the regiment depicted in the newest version of "All Quiet on the Western Front.") He survived the Great War as a Major, serving for a time on the General Staff (Generalstab der Obersten Heeresleitung.) Ritter von Voightländer married after the war and held various jobs in the civil service. In 1937, he joined the Luftwaffe, being promoted to Oberst in 1941. He was made a Generalmajor in 1945 and spent time in captivity after WWII, being relased in 1947. He died in Tutzing, Bayern in 1959.

Al ver el video de soldados alemanes marchando en 1914, me impacta cómo la tecnología moderna nos permite acercarnos a estos momentos históricos con una claridad que antes no podíamos imaginar. Es fascinante ver las imágenes restauradas a color, porque nos hacen sentir más conectados con esos eventos lejanos, casi como si pudiéramos estar allí. Sin embargo, la admiración por la disciplina y el orden se mezcla con una profunda nostalgia y tristeza al pensar en las vidas que se perdieron en el conflicto. Este video nos recuerda cómo la humanidad, en su inocencia y también en sus odios, ha sido capaz de actos de gran sacrificio y también de destrucción. Me parece un ejemplo claro de cómo la historia sigue tocándonos emocionalmente, mostrándonos tanto nuestra capacidad de crear como de destruir.

It saddens me to know we keep repeating the same over an over in the name of Greed, Power and Resources. Not only the 1914 War. Actually at that time it was the Astro Hungarian/Prussian Empire War fighting their Aristocratic cousins of the British Empire, the French and Russian Empire. Then it was the Aristocrats. After 1918 they were replaced by Oligarchs, Dictators and greedy Corporations. Young men, just like now the poor young Russian and Ukrainian men, loose their lives to a greedy Power. I just hope we don't destroy our world as we know it.

All the soldiers were decorated with flowers, there was no gun which didn’t show a flower - even the horses I think were decorated. And of course all the people followed them.

I'm stunned, overjoyed, and fascinated by these restored and colorized films, and a little saddened too when I realize that no-one in the film, even the little children, are still alive. It's almost like seeing ghosts.

Back when Germany.... was germany. Not this shell that it is today. Occupied by enemies, judgement and condemnation rammed down their throats, scared of showing any military "pride" or being proud of their old traditions and their military triumphs. Beautiful, clean, disciplined formations. A wall of men and steel. Thank you for posting this clip, its quite a gem.

@maria oh No, but my ancestors are. Saxony, Westfalia, perhaps Thungeria. The records are sometimes hazy, but, the surnames so far point in this direction.

Just imagine, all of these people used to be alive once. Every single person had a unique story that defined who they are. They all came from a mother and a father. They all had a soul. When you take a second and analyze the faces of these people, you can probably guess how they felt. Some were happy about the war, some were sad about the war, some were angry about the war, some were anxious about the war. They never knew that this would be the war to end all wars. War never ends, take a second and appreciate the brave men and women who took part in war. Regardless of their identity, they fought for a reason. A reason that regarded their family, friends, personal choice, politics, etc. We all live here on earth once, war comes naturally and unfortunately everyone regardless has to pay the price. If there is no risk, there is no story. Always trust in god.

The Germans should be grateful to their ancestors for having the best culture in their history. Prussia represented the honor and glory of the German nation. He was never loved by his neighbors. He was always envied and hated by his so-called friends. Even his own siblings turned their backs on him. Prussia is the most unlucky culture of the German nation. Prussia fought with dignity. Prussia fought heroically. Prussia died. Rest in peace Karl.

Imágenes asombrosamente restauradas que muestran la llegada de cabos en entrenamiento en Wetzlar, Alemania. En la estación de Wetzlar, los soldados son recibidos por el gendarme Otto Wallenreich, entre otros. Tras la llegada del tren, personalidades locales, incluido el suboficial del Comando del Distrito de Wetzlar, dan la bienvenida a los cabos en formación. Dirigida por el capitán, sus ayudantes y el teniente de la compañía, la brigada sale de la estación, marcha por Bahnhofstraße y toma formación en la plaza de la catedral de Wetzlar. Debido a que el alcalde de Wetzlar está indispuesto ese día, el concejal Siegmund Hiepel inspecciona a los soldados junto con el comandante. La brigada se marcha. RESTAURACION ---------------------------------------- 2. Ampliado de 240p a 1080p 3. Imágenes coloreadas 4. Aumento de la velocidad de fotogramas a 60 fps 5. Metraje ralentizado a tiempo real

@gunhojput 21 день назад

@@ProtoIndoEuropean88 wow late reply lol, anyway it has everything to do with tolerence if people could see beyond the big power plays and the reasons why armed forces were created and built upon in the first place is nothing to do with defence as this war was planned back in 1890 something check The Great War of 189-: A Forecast. even today with the war in ukraine is a project of the powers that be and all it is is about money and money laundering the rich get richer and the poor die in droves different time same result. but if we the people knew the facts and we the people did not patrioticly run to join the war there would be no wars, but that time is in the future, can you not feel it growing. oh and i am not naive as my comment originaly was about this video and how innocent they look just like every other soldier who joined a cause to fight a stupid war.

It's haunting seeing people from over 100 years ago staring back at the camera - not knowing thousands more from the future would stare back at them. Even more depressing is that they were surprised but also curious to even see a camera back in those old days, that they'd continue to stare down at it.

Melancholie überkommt mich in die Gesichter unserer Urgroßeltern zu blicken. Ein Deutschland, das untergegangen ist und zu dem ich mich immer mehr hingezogen fühle. Musik, Literatur, Wissenschaft. Deutschland noch eine gesunde Nation auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Schaffenskraft. I am overcome with melancholy when I look into the faces of our great-grandparents. A Germany that has perished and to which I feel more and more drawn. Music, literature, science. Back then, Germany was a healthy nation at the height of its creative powers.
