The Schleswig-Holstein Difficulty:...proclaiming Prince Frederick...Duke of Schleswig-Holstein, 1864 Creator: Unknown
The Schleswig-Holstein Difficulty: the Burghers of Altona proclaiming Prince Frederick of Augustenburg Duke of Schleswig-Holstein from the balcony of the railway station, 1864. 'On the 24th December the Saxons entered...and relieved there the Danish guard, and were at once received with great demonstrations of welcome. All the members of the different societies which work in the Schleswig-Holstein cause...turned out in great glee. Duke Frederick was proclaimed at noon in the presence of the entire population, as well as half that of Hamburg. A great change was effected in the appearance of the town after the departure of the Danes in the morning, as many of the houses were adorned with German and Schleswig-Holstein flags, which also waved from the old Council House; and in the streets the people were moving about in a state of great excitement...The proclamation took place at the railway station, after an energetic speech from Dr. Callisen, a physician, it having been found that the space in front of the Council House was too small to contain the numbers who had assembled. The crowd then marched through the streets, singing "Schleswig-Holstein".' From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history during The Schleswig-Holstein Difficulty of 1864. The image shows the Burghers of Altona proclaiming Prince Frederick of Augustenburg as the Duke of Schleswig-Holstein from the balcony of the railway station. It was on December 24th when the Saxons entered and relieved the Danish guard, leading to great demonstrations of welcome from the local population.
The entire town was transformed with German and Schleswig-Holstein flags adorning many houses, while excited crowds filled the streets. The proclamation ceremony took place at the railway station due to overwhelming numbers, following an impassioned speech by Dr. Callisen.
This photograph not only captures a historic event but also conveys the sense of unity and pride felt by those who supported Duke Frederick in his claim to leadership. It serves as a reminder of how people can come together in times of struggle and stand up for what they believe in.
Through this image, we are transported back to a time when political tensions ran high, yet hope and determination prevailed among those fighting for their rights and identity. It is a powerful visual representation of resilience and solidarity that continues to inspire us today.
