Chinese cloth

Chinese woven silk scarf in red. Chinese characters are sewn onto the cloth and formed from a light brown cord. The cloth came into the collection as a gift from Albert Haag in 1915, who was stationed in the Imperial Fortification in Ulm at the time. Haag had previously been a soldier in the German troops of the East Asian Occupation Brigade, which were sent to China in 1900 to suppress the Boxer Rebellion and fought there with the Allied forces against the Boxers. He was involved in the expedition in "Tientsin" (Tianjin) and "Kaumi" (Gaomi). He donated a total of seven Chinese objects, mostly from a military context, to the Gewerbemuseum Ulm in 1915/1916. Nothing is known about the exact circumstances of the acquisition.
