Welcome to the 12th Minenwerfer Kompagnie home page. We are the only dedicated mortar unit within the World War One reenactment community, making up the Great War Association (GWA). Twice a year, we gather with other member units for a private battle at the GWA owned site, outside of Newville, Pennsylvania for a weekend of living history and recreated battles. These reenactments often have an attendance exceeding 350, with people from all over the country and occasionally as far away as Europe and Australia. Between the major GWA events, our members travel to other regional reenactments and living history events to display and demonstrate our collection of WWI equipment.
The links below give specific aspects of our portrayal of an original Minenwerfer unit in the Great War.
