History of Pickelhaube - German Military Helmets by EraKart

The Pickelhaube helmets also known as pickelhelm are spiked helmets worn by German Military , Police and firefighters in 19th & 20th century, After Prussian army these helmets were used by other armies, Originally King Frederick William IV of Prussia designed the Pickelhaube in 1842, During the same time Russian military also designed a similar helmet known as The Helmet of Yaroslav Mudry. Both these helmets resemble a lot to Napoleonic cuirassier. The early Russian type was also used as CAVALRY, where the spike was used as a holder for horse hair plums,

Frederick William IV introduced the Pickelhaube for use by the majority of Prussian infantry on October 23, 1842 by a royal cabinet order. Leather spiked helmets were worn by Infantry, Train (Supply), Dragoner (Mounted Rifle), Pionier (Pioneer), and the Eisenbahn (railway)

Other German principalities adopted use of the Pickelhaube rapidly :

  • Oldenburg adopted it by 1849

  • Baden by 1870

  • Kingdom of Bavaria in 1887

Other countries that adopted pickelhaube along with German & Russian army were Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Portugal, Norway, and Sweden.

Design of original Pickelhaube & how we replicate :

The basic Pickelhaube was made of hardened (boiled) leather, given a glossy-black finish, and reinforced with metal trim (usually plated with gold or silver for officers) that included a metal spike at the crown. Early versions had a high crown, but the height gradually was reduced and the helmet became more fitted in form, in a continuing process of weight-reduction and cost-saving. In 1867 a further attempt at weight reduction by removing the metal binding of the front peak, and the metal reinforcing band on the rear of the crown (which also concealed the stitched rear seam of the leather crown), did not prove successful.

We use high quality leather and after the shape is achieved Brass badge with polished finish is attached, All the metal fittings are made from high quality brass. Erakart ensure that each pickelhaube is as close to the original as possible, Note : we sell only reproductions and not antique pickelhaube.
