Hi,

just a further post about the event in Eichenzell near Fulda that happened last weekend.

Thanks to "darkfire" from the forum www.sweetwater-forum.de there are some videos about that event on youtube. I hope he doesn´t mind that I publish some links on my blog to let you see those videos.

There are a lot more videos on youtube concerning similar events from the years before.

Just search for "Zeitreise Eichenzell"

Enjoy the videos.  :)


Cheers

Mike

"Zeitreise ins 18.Jahrhundert" - Reenactment in Eichenzell near Fulda in Germany

Hi,

today I went to a Reenactment event in Hesse. There are a lot of shows concerning the middle ages around here but I have never been to an event dealing with the times of the 18th century.

Here are some or better a lot of impressions I got today. If I had more time I would have joined one of those groups - my favorites had been the Hesse-Cassel Regiment of Dithfurt.

This 12pdr was also shot on this event and caused a lot of smoke and loudness.
