The War in Denmark: Prussian outpost at the corner of Büffel-Koppel Wood..., 1864. Creator: Unknown
The War in Denmark: Prussian outpost at the corner of Buffel-Koppel Wood - from a sketch by our special artist, 1864. View of '...one of those rude straw huts improvised for the shelter of the Prussian soldiers on outpost duty in various directions around the encampment of their army at Broacker. The Buffel-Koppel Wood, which is traversed by the high road from Flensburg to Sonderburg, is situated between the inlet of the Nubel Noer to the west and the heights of Duppel to the east, occupying the little isthmus or neck of land which joins the Broagerland peninsula to the mainland of Sundewitt. It is essential, therefore, to the safety of the Prussian army, that they should guard this position against a sudden attack. As it commands the road to both the hostile camps, all passing strangers are stopped and narrowly scrutinised by the non-commissioned officers stationed there. In our sketch we see a gentleman on horseback, who has just submitted his passport to the inspection of the sergeant, and appears to be replying to his questions upon it'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

**A Glimpse into History: The Prussian Outpost at Büffel-Koppel Wood, Denmark (1864)**
This photograph print captures a moment in time during the War in Denmark, specifically highlighting a crucial Prussian outpost situated at the corner of Büffel- Koppel Wood. Created by an unknown artist and published in 1864's Illustrated London News, this image offers a unique glimpse into the lives of soldiers on duty.
The scene depicts one of those humble straw huts improvised for sheltering Prussian troops stationed around their encampment at Broacker. The wood itself occupies a strategic position between Flensburg to Sonderburg and is flanked by the Nubel Noer inlet to the west, Duppel heights to the east, and connects the Broagerland peninsula to Sundewitt's mainland.
As seen in this sketch, soldiers are stationed at key points along this high road from Flensburg to Sonderburg. Their task: scrutinize all passing strangers by inspecting their passports with non-commissioned officers on duty. In our photograph print, a gentleman on horseback has just submitted his passport and is responding to the sergeant's questions about it.
This historic image not only showcases life during wartime but also highlights the importance of this particular location in maintaining safety for the Prussian army. Step into history with us as we gaze upon this poignant moment from 1864, a testament to the bravery and dedication of those who served on both sides of conflict.
