Infanterie Regiment 52 , 6th Brandenburgisches , Von Alvensleben

Infanterie Regiment 52 , 6th Brandenburgisches , Von Alvensleben IR. 52 is a WW1 Living Historian Group that also engages in tactical events, IR. 52 represents a common Prussian Inf. Regt. during WW1

We are a group of living Historians that portray a WW1 German front line combat unit, Our impression focuses on the WW1 years of 1914 to 1918. We engage in tactical events as well as living history events, either way we represent a combat group and we are seeking motivated young or older men. A new recruit should be 18 yrs old and be in good physical condition, in combat you will be required to fi

ll sand bags , go on wiring parties, trench raids ext. New recruits should also have a clean criminal history and be able to posses a firearm. All members must follow the units equipment, uniform and authenticity guidelines, all members go through a 1 year probationary period, once you have been approved as a new member you will be added to the closed groups.Most of our events are in the North east of the U.S. , it is a must to have transportation to and from events. WW1 reenacting can be quite expensive, like any hobby, please check with us before buying gear we would hate to see anyone spend money on something that may not be right or something you just don't need. Our goal is to portray the typical German Soldat of WW1, not only by accurately recreating his appearance but also by researching and demonstrating his life, duties and occasional pastimes as he experienced during the Great War

Guten Abend, Kameraden!

My sincerest apologies for the lack of activity here in recent months. Covid-19 has pretty much turned normal life upside down- reenacting in general has come to a virtual stop.
We're definitely still here, and anxiously awaiting our first event of the year- whenever that may be..
We hope all is well with you and yours!

More to come..

A tribute to Hans Kuhlwein, Ruhe in Frieden...

02/16/2020

Greetings to one and all.
Apologies for a somewhat lengthy absence in updates- a lot has transpired in the past year...
This past September, our unit founder (and brother from another mother) Hans Kuhlwein passed away after a relatively brief, but valiant, battle with Stage 4 lung cancer.
It was his fervent desire that IR52 should maintain it's course, and we are proceeding in accordance with that desire, plus our own, so that IR 52 remains a vibrant and lasting unit.
As the new unit commander I remain dedicated to guiding this unit forward, both in scope and authenticity.
I won't always have the time for numerous updates, but I will do my best to keep information current, along with posting event photos and responding to people who get in touch with us.
