Feldartillerieregiment Nr. 28 Description of holdings: The estate contains documents on the popular uprising in Dresden in 1849, the German-Danish War of 1864, the German War of 1866 and the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71. Gustav von Schubert had made a name for himself as an artillerist beyond Saxony's borders and also reflected his time in his rich literary oeuvre. In addition, the estate gives a complex impression of the private life of an officer in the 19th century - from budget management to social obligations. The newly acquired documents include, above all, family correspondence by Gustav von Schubert and his wife, as well as letters from Hans von Schubert's parents and other persons and a curriculum vitae.
