German imperial banners - question

Did you now - what units of Kaiser's Army used these banners? Probably, photos had been made in May 1945 in Berlin.

Nice photos, thanks for posting. Unfortunately a lot of the regimental standards of the Prussian army look very similar especially in black and white. Here's a gallery of some of them-

As you can see most have that large cross and eagle in the centre.

Infanterie-Regiment Graf Dönhoff (7. Ostpreußisches) Nr.44

One notably in the top photo you posted has no cross and looks more like this-
Image
Grenadier-Regiment König Friedrich der Grosse (3. Ostpreußisches) Nr.4

The second photo you posted looks like they may be Saxon standards, a bit like this-

Kgl. Sächs. 3. Infanterie-Regiment König Ludwig III von Bayern Nr.102

Hope that's helped a bit and sorry I can't make any definite identifications.

Cheers
Chris
