1908 Forges Horses Landkreis Leipzig Military Military Facilities Wurzen Farriers
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to 1908 in Saxony, Germany. The image showcases the Farriers Forges of the 8th Royal Saxon Field Artillery Regiment No. 78, offering a glimpse into the military use of horses during that era. In this historical snapshot, we witness skilled farriers working diligently at their forges, surrounded by an array of tools and equipment used for horse shoeing. These craftsmen played a crucial role in maintaining the mobility and effectiveness of cavalry units within the German military. Located in Landkreis Leipzig near Wurzen, these military facilities served as hubs where horses were cared for and equipped with proper horseshoes to endure rigorous training exercises and combat situations. The Beschlag Schmiede (horseshoe forge) depicted here was undoubtedly a vital part of ensuring that each horse received top-notch hoof protection. The photograph exudes an air of nostalgia as it transports us to a time when horses were indispensable assets on the battlefield. It serves as a reminder not only of Germany's rich military history but also highlights the importance placed on animal welfare during wartime. This remarkable piece captures both technical expertise and dedication to duty while providing valuable insights into early 20th-century military practices involving equestrian forces.
