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.
There is also a video made by the German TV http://www.ardmediathek.de/radio/hessenschau/Historisches-Milit%C3%A4rspektakel-in-Eichenz/hr-fernsehen/Video?bcastId=3301950&documentId=37126664

 |
| Hesse-Cassel Jägers |
 |
| Two allied Commanders |
 |
| This 12pdr was also shot on this event and caused a lot of smoke and loudness. |
 |
| Even indians have to go for morning toilet. |
 |
| The 1st Pennsylvania |
 |
| Some scottish fighters |
 |
| A part of the real big camp. |
 |
| Saxon artillery |
 |
| A very realistic Redcoat. |
 |

 |
| Again Hesse-Cassel Regiment of Dithfurt. |
 |

 |
| Hessian Jägers |
 |
| One event - Lords dueling with pistols. |
 |
| Their majesties of Hesse |
 |
| Also very impressive - a short introduction about fencing with foils |
This event will be again on 12./13. of August in 2017.
I´ll be there again for sure.
