In order to unite Germany, the Prussians had to dismiss Austria from their leading position in the German confederation. The tensions between Prussia and Austria regarding Denmark (previously conquered provinces Schleswig and Holstein) served as casus belli. The attackers were clearly the Prussians, although formally the war was declared by Austria. The result was the creation of North-german confederation under Prussian leadership.

I was hoping the reenactors were carrying Prussia's Famed Needle Rifle, but it appeared to be Mosin nagants T_T

Might be on a budget

There were upwards of 200 in the crowd I would say. It was very hot, and the flames from the battlefield didn't help!

That song is from Der Untergang(Downfall).

In 1862, Austria and Prussia allied to defeat Denmark and retake the provinces of Schleswig and Holstein. Issues concerning the governance of the two provinces led to tensions between the two states. Bismarck, Prussia's chancellor saw this as an opportunity to exclude Austria from Germany and make Prussia the leading German state (by far). Through diplomatic maneuvering, Bismarck got Austria to declare war on Prussia. Prussia crushed Austria and Konnigratz was the decisive battle.

RIP To the 1,935 Prussian soldiers and 31,000 Imperial Austrian and Royal Saxon soldiers who were killed in the Battle of Königgrätz

2:52 a song from the "Der Untergang" soundtrack?

Thanks for posting!

Several kamerads of mine share a communal interest in appropriating or sewing to-pattern accurate Prussian uniforms, preferably from a Mecklenberger Regimental uniform pattern. Pray-tell, do you happen to know of a decent website where such a sewing pattern could be ordered or printed from? Or, in fact, re-make uniforms purchased from?

the austrian helmuts looked much pleasing to the eyes :)

Well done. You Czech people are great. What a neighbour!!! :-)))

Great show for sure but why spoil the effect with totally unnecessary recorded music?

does anyone know where you can purchase the webbing used in this spectacular reenactment?

What I want to know is where do you get those repro uniforms? I would love to have a Prussian uniform like that

Very cool, very well performed. It makes American Civil War re-enactments look cheesy. Nothing against Civil War re-enactments, I like them, but this is clearly a different level.

Interesting video ! How many pple came to see this?

sehr cool :D

What reenactment group/groups were these in

@jrobertwood actually, make that about 1200.

Cool

Where is Franz Jaburek?

They were kinda penned in a narrow place. They did well considering as far as I can tell.
