[ 2 ] After World War I ended, the 7.58 cm Minenwerfer continued to be used in the Interwar Period by Germany and was used by Belgium into the 1930s.
The solution they developed was a short-barrelled rifled muzzle-loading mortar for mine shell ammunition, built in three sizes. In 1910, the largest of these was introduced as the 25 cm schwerer Minenwerfer (abbreviated "sMW"; English: "25 cm (9.8 in) heavy mine launcher").

The Granatenwerfer 16 was a type of spigot mortar. Rather than being a muzzle-loaded weapon like a Stokes or Brandt mortar where the projectiles slide down a tube until it hits a firing pin to launch the projectile, the Granatenwerfer had a short metal spigot that was attached to a base that was adjustable for traverse and elevation.
The mortar was first introduced in 1915 as the Mortier de 240 mm CT (court de tranchee).It was a short barreled version which fired a 192 pounds (87 kg) bomb for 1,125 yards (1,029 m), using a propellant charge of 1 lb 9 oz (710 g).
