Most of us think of the days of the pickelhaube ending in ww1 following the helmet becoming obsolete in 1916, yet still being used until 1918 as a ceremonial helmet and even into weimar germany with the firehelmets and of course Hindenburg’s pickelhaube he would wear at civil events.
Interestingly enough, GDR of all places decided to bring it back one last time seen here:
Even after that, the Berlin Military music festival Bundeswehr used pickelhauben with plumes in 2010, seen here, and I believe I saw a video of the same thing from 2008 and I would assume they did it again after
Occasionally you also see reanactors using pickelhaube in Berlin or Czechia or other places where Prussian battles happened.
There is also a video here of some guys visiting a Frederick the great memorial with Prussian crown prince Georg Frederich
Wonder if Georg owns any pickelhauben
