EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking image from 1910, Her Von Jagow, the esteemed President of the German Police, is depicted on horseback, dressed in full hunting gear. The caption beneath the photograph reads, "The 'Hero' of the Recent Berlin Riots." The events alluded to in the caption refer to the Moabit Riots, a series of violent clashes between workers and the police that took place in Berlin, Germany, during the early 1910s. The Moabit district of Berlin was the epicenter of these protests, which were fueled by growing social and economic unrest. The workers, who were primarily employed in the city's factories, were demanding better wages and working conditions. The situation escalated into violent confrontations between the strikers and the police, resulting in numerous injuries and fatalities. Her Von Jagow, a respected figure in German law enforcement, was instrumental in quelling the riots. His ruthless and unyielding approach to maintaining order was credited with bringing an end to the violence. The caption pays tribute to his role in the suppression of the riots, acknowledging the controversial methods employed to restore peace in the city. This photograph captures a moment in German history during a time of political and social upheaval. The image of Her Von Jagow on horseback, dressed in hunting gear, serves as a visual representation of the power and authority held by the police during this period. The caption underscores the complex nature of the situation, highlighting both the heroism and the severity of the response to the Moabit Riots.
