Infanterie-Regiment Prinz Louis
von Württemberg

Duchy of Wuerttemberg 1756–1763

The colonel, eight officers, and most of the men of Infanterie-Regiment Prinz Louis von Württemberg were taken prisoner at the Battle of Leuthen on 5 Diciembre 1757. Johann Kaspar Schiller, Father of German poet Johann Christoph Friedrich Schiller, ensign and adjudant of Infanterie-Regiments Prinz Louis von Württemberg since 1757, seems to have evaded capture, however. He was promoted lieutenant of Infanterie-Regiment von Romann in 1759, and had achieved the rank of captain by the end of the Seven Years’ War.

Infanterie-Regiment Prinz Louis von Württemberg was reconstituted after the defeat at the Battle of Leuthen, and it served with the Kayserliche Reichs Executions und Combinierten Französischen Armée in Hesse from 1758. In 1760 the regiment returned to Silesia with the other Wuerttemberg units. In the course of Wuerttemberg troops reductions in 1765, Infanterie-Regiment Prinz Louis von Württemberg was disbanded.
