An exciting weapons demonstration
A Prussian chief artilleryman will accompany you up to the Bastion Fuchs and present an arms demonstration to interested visitors. He will explain the handling of sabers and bayonet rifles, as well as their use and effect in battle. Here you will learn what made an "old warhorse," that as a soldier you absolutely needed good teeth and "what was 'on the pan'." At the end of the demonstration, the soldier will show the military loading and firing with the flintlock rifle.
