Original Imperial German Pre-WWI Franco-Prussian War Veterans Association Banner ~ Embroidery - This is a fantastic Deutscher banner that was more than likely used for an anniversary or ”founding day”parade. Deutscher Kriegerbund (German Warrior League) was a war veterans and reservists association in Germany established in April 1873 in Weibenfense. Its origins lie in a Warrior Association established in 1786 by fusiliers of Frederick II of Prussia's army in Wangerin/Pomerania. The original purpose of the war veterans' associations was to provide their members and former soldiers with proper burial arrangements. Former soldiers felt the need for commemorative tombs that would preserve the dignity of their former comrades-in-arms and honor them even after their death. This type of association received a considerable boost after Prussia's victorious battles against the Danish (1864), Austrian (1866) and French armies in 1871. Size: 108” x 48”.
