The War in Schleswig: High-Street, Hadersleben - from a sketch by our special artist, 1864. Creator: Unknown
The War in Schleswig: High-Street, Hadersleben - from a sketch by our special artist, 1864. View of '...the principal street of Hadersleben, now the head-quarters of the allied Prussian and Austrian armies. This town, which is situated upon a gulf or inlet of the Baltic Sea, on the eastern coast of Schleswig, has a population of about six thousand souls. It is partly built on a small island, connected by bridges with the other portion of the town. Hence it was anciently called the Venice of Denmark, and the figure of the bridge is displayed among the heraldic insignia of the town. Its municipal privileges formerly included the right of coining money, and, by a charter granted in 1299, the Duke of Schleswig allowed this community to be governed by its own laws. Its history records, however, an ample share of those vicissitudes which have befallen the whole province, or duchy, under the suzerainty of Denmark. Since 1830, when great improvements were made in the harbour, the maritime trade of Hadersleben has much increased; and it is likely to profit by the intended continuation of the railway from Flensburg northward, passing through Hadersleben into the province of Jutland'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph print, taken in 1864 by our special artist, we see a glimpse into the midst of war-torn Schleswig. The High-Street in Hadersleben is bustling with activity as soldiers and civilians alike go about their daily lives amidst the chaos of conflict. This once-thriving town on Denmark's eastern coast has been transformed into a hub for the allied Prussian and Austrian armies, its population reduced to mere thousands.
The photograph captures the stark contrast between life before war and life during wartime. The picturesque bridges that connect Hadersleben's two parts now serve as makeshift gathering points for soldiers, while once-quaint buildings now bear scars of battle. Amidst this backdrop of destruction lies a glimmer of resilience - the determination to carry on in the face of adversity.
As we gaze upon this haunting image from 1864, let us remember the countless lives affected by war and pay tribute to those who fought for their homes and communities during one of history's most tumultuous periods. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst devastation, there is always hope.
