We would like to briefly introduce ourselves:
The “Gefechtsstand Loreley” project is not a re-enactment group, but rather a collaboration between many groups from different countries.
It combines the experience of many groups from different countries, to create an authentic company or battalion command post, not just in terms of appearance.
The initial spark was “Hotton 2024”. Since the actual organisers on the German side did not want to organise the event that year, we were offered the opportunity to do so with less than three months’ notice.
This would never have been manageable for us with just one re-enactment group. It was only the collaboration of several groups that made this possible.
Here we were able to shine with our core competence: a functional command post and a functional structure for the participants (roughly company strength). The excellent support of our vehicle enthusiasts allowed us the necessary mobility.
When we were offered “Herve 2025” event, we knew that this would only be possible with the cooperation of many people.
Here, we had the opportunity to include a “Post-Station“, a „Fermelde-Station“ and a „Feld Lazarett“, thus expanding the circle of participants.
Special thanks also go to our vehicle fleet, which managed to transport an entire company by truck.
If desired, we can also take over the organisation of the German side and help ensure that terms such as group leader and platoon leader are not just spoken out loud.
If we are given the opportunity, our strength lies in implementing tactical leadership on the German side that is appealing to everyone.
In the future, the aim will continue to be to enable the participants (and hopefully also the organisers) to enjoy the events.
We want to remain true to this idea and look forward to future events with you.
Indeed the project has grown taller than the pure tactical structure.
Nowadays we are happy to work with groups who are specialised in:
– Feldküche
– Fuhrpark
– Geschäftszimmer
– Fernmeldestube
– Feldpost
– Kriegsberichterstatter
– Feld Lazarett
– Instandsetzung
– …
