Set of Imperial German Militaerpass Documents
Two Imperial German military identification booklets, each with an imperial eagle crest to the cover. The first is titled "Militaerpass des Mannes Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Pieper, " issued to a member of the Provinzialtrain, class year 1909, numbered 687. The second is headed "15 Armee-Corps, Militair-Pass des Mannes Heinrich Heink, " numbered 200, with hand-inked unit and name details within the decorative border.
Such Militaerpass booklets served as a soldier's personal service record and identification document under the Imperial German military system, recording unit assignment, class of conscription, and personal details for the named holder.
The Militaerpass was the standard personal service record issued to enlisted men of the Imperial German Army, documenting conscription class, unit assignment, and service history for use in both peacetime reserve status and wartime mobilisation. The Provinzialtrain refers to the supply and transport formations organised on a provincial basis, responsible for logistics, munitions, and baggage trains supporting field units. The XV Armee-Korps was raised in the Alsace-Lorraine region, reflecting the territorial recruitment system by which German army corps drew conscripts from designated home districts before the First World War.
