[ 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 Albrecht mortars came in a number of lengths and diameters 25–45 cm (10–18 in) each with their own projectiles. They consisted of a muzzle loaded smooth bore barrel built from wooden staves and wound with galvanized wire for reinforcement.
The 4 in (100 mm) mortar was the only official type to enter service before the end of 1914 (12 units). It fired an 8.5 lb (3.9 kg) pound steel bomb with studs to engage rifling grooves in the mortar barrel, similar to the German minenwerfer. The barrel was improvised by boring out a 6 in (150 mm) shell.
