Years ago I found of the rooftop the Küraß and Garde Küsseier Haube, and the Küraß and Kürassierhelmet. The family friends of us gave me the things only with one word don´t sell it.
So I restarted the thinks and started the history behind the things.
The family asked me about the history of the Jerusalem journey of the father´s Rittmeister.
This was for me the reason to write this article.

Guard cuirassiers came at that time very often from families wealthy industrialist. A sign of appreciation of money nobility by the Emperor.

In the higher prestige and almost solely to the nobility, however, was reserved for the Regiment Garde du Corps. The difference between the regiments was the color of the insignia on the uniforms: Guard cuirassiers Prussian-blue, Garde du Corps Regiment Porcounrot.
Paul was a so-called "One-year", indicated by the black and white cord around the shoulder pieces. One year had their equipment, uniforms, accommodation etc. to pay themselves, but were shorter than the regular forces. They bought their service. When the infantry was normal three years of service and "One-year" were really only a year. The cavalry, who belonged to Paul, the duty of the "One Year" has been shortened from three to two years.
The uniforms of "annuals were like" in appearance and quality, the officers' uniforms.
Paul has been adopted as a cadet / officer candidates. His helmet is a unique ensign helmet. Good to see the helmet body, the back has the "comb" and is not "smooth" is like the normal helmets of the lower ranks. By replacing the emblem, the rosettes on the chin scales by clovers, this helmet to an officer helmet. Furthermore, the parade eagle is not secured with a thumbscrew, but with Humpback screws, after Offiziersart.
He was dismissed as so-called ergo a cadet officer candidates, who came by recommendation of the officer corps in this position.
By Reserve exercises at the battleship Regiment of Driesen (Westphalian) No. 4, two times per year, about 8 weeks, he was promoted over the years, the captain of the reserve of Cuirassiers "by Driesen (Westphalian) No 4 .
He served in this regiment just after finishing his career with the Guard cuirassiers.
His patent for the captain he Reserveerhielt in December 1900.
Paul himself described this as a reserve training myself happy time, detached from everyday life, and also the responsibility of the family.

Jerusalem Travel:
In 1898 the German Kaiser Wilhelm II made with his wife Augusta Viktoria a trip to the Orient, whose chief aim was to visit the Holy Land as pilgrims and inaugurate the newly built Church of the Redeemer in Jerusalem. At the same time, this trip was of great political importance, as it demonstrated the close association of the German Reich with the Ottoman Empire, which was criticized in the other European powers entirely.
The Imperial Yacht 'Hohenzollern'
They started the journey to Constantinople, where the tour group went on board the imperial yacht 'Hohenzollern'.
By boat we then traveled to Haifa, where 25 October 1898 a German Emperor, for the first time since the Crusades, walked into the Holy Land. By land, we went to Jaffa and thence to Jerusalem. There was the imperial couple a week and made a trip to visit Bethlehem. On 31 October, the Reformation, then a dedicated Wilhelm II the German Evangelical Church of the Redeemer in Jerusalem. On 4 November drove the train by train to Jaffa and thence by boat to Beirut. After a trip to Lebanon and Syria, the Emperor was on 26 November 1898 again in Berlin.
Paul has been allowed to accompany his father as this was very frail, at this time. (Where I was able to see your documentation) Therefore, He was giving no Jerusalem cross.
Founded in 1898 by Kaiser Wilhelm II after his trip to Palestine a medal, called Jerusalem Cross.
Paul had when he wore his uniform and the score progressed to now the uniform of the Cuirassiers bear "by Driesen (Westphalian) No. 4 and not the uniform cuirassiers Guard. Paul and the son of Barkhausen went in front of the Kaiser....
