Image description

Ubergabe Einer Stadt. Fur die Kapitulation galten stets allgemeine volkerrechtliche Bestimmungen. Eine Festung durfte sich erst ergeben, wenn alle Mittel des Widerstandes erschopft waren, oder die Mauern einem Sturm nicht mehr standhielten. Nachdem der Wille zu Verhandlungen durch Parlamentare mit weisser Fahne kundgetan, erfolgte die Ubergabe der Schlussel durch den Burgermeister. Translation: Surrender of a City. General provisions of international law always applied to capitulation. A fortress could only surrender when all means of resistance had been exhausted or the walls could no longer withstand a storm. After parliamentarians with white flags announced their willingness to negotiate, the mayor handed over the keys. Illustration for Deutsche Kulturbilder, 1400-1900 (Cigaretten-Bilderdienst Hamburg-Bahrenfeld, 1934).
