In the 19th century, Germans lived on one side of the Rhine in Mülhaym, Germany, and the French on the other.
The French crossed the German side of the river each year, collecting all the crops and taking them away.
At that time, the weak Germans, who could not ensure their unity, could not speak much, of course. When this happens every year, they find the solution by writing the situation to the Ottoman Sultan and asking for help.
The letter states:
"The French oppress us every year, they take our crops away from us. You are the sultan of an empire that distributes justice to the world, and the caliph of Islam. Save us from this persecution. Send soldiers. Provide us with the opportunity to collect our products this year."
The sultan, examining the request for help, which coincided with the collapse phase, did not consider it possible or necessary to send soldiers; He finds it sufficient to send only military clothes, and three sacks full of military clothes are sent with a letter of reply. Surprised, the Germans take the sack and read the letter:
"The French are cowardly men. We do not need to send janissaries to them. It is enough for them to see our janissary's attire.
Dress your men in the clothes of the Ottoman soldier in the sack. Crop time, meander through the river landmarks. That's enough for the French who see it from the front."
The owners of the vineyard immediately snatched up the clothes of the Ottoman soldiers. At the time of harvest, they start to wander around the river bank in their janissary outfits with great excitement.
The next day, the news from the opposite caused the Germans to shout for joy:
"The French, who think that there is help coming from the Ottomans, are leaving their villages in fear and fleeing towards the interior. You can easily collect your crops. The persecution is over."
This event has established a throne in the hearts of Mülhaym people. They put the janissary clothes they wore in the Karlsruhe museum of Mülhaym and open them to visitors.
They hang the Ottoman flag on the tallest building in the city. In addition, they still hold a carnival in the city on the anniversary of the event and celebrate it by representing the event.
This event remains as a diamond painting from the past, showing how the Ottomans saved the Germans from the hands and plunder of the French, wearing only a Janissary outfit.
