I know the following units were in Trier in 1897: 7. Rheinisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr.69, 3. Rheinisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 29 (founded in 1813) and the 3rd Bataillon of the 8th Artillery Rgt. In 1900 there was another Infantery Rgt. in Trier + the Staff of the 16th Division and the staff of the 31th and 80th Infantery Brigade and the 16th Art. Brigade. The number of troops in 1900 was 6.000, (more than 13% of population). The whole archive of the royal prussian army with enlistment rolls et.c was destroyed during a bomber attack on Potsdam in 1945. There is nothing left. For any questions regarding the prussian army, send a request to the following adress: Bundesarchiv Militaerarchiv Wiesentalstrasse 10 D-79115 Freiburg Regards Ernst Mettlach Trier/Germany ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Spang <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 1:20 PM Subject: [TRIER-ROOTS-L] Military service regiments > In the 1860-1870's were there specific Prussian Army units from > Trier?
