It was initially called Infantry Regiment No. 86 and received by AKO on September 27, 1867, which u. a. Allocation and recruitment regulated, the provincial designation "Schleswig-Holstein". Kaiser Wilhelm II had appointed his wife Auguste Viktoria to head the regiment on September 9, 1890 . From this point on, the association therefore added the addition "Queen".
