history

On February 20, 1679, the Great Elector gave Colonel von Ziethen the surrender to form a regiment on foot with eight companies .

From 1690 to 1697 the regiment was in Dutch pay . From 1808 to 1815 the association was known as the 1st Pomeranian Infantry Regiment and was then called the 2nd Infantry Regiment (1st Pomeranian) "Crown Prince of Prussia" until 1835 . Then it was called the 2nd Infantry Regiment for five years and then until 1860 the 2nd Infantry Regiment called the King's Regiment . From 1861 until its dissolution in 1919, it was called the Grenadier Regiment "King Friedrich Wilhelm IV." (1st Pomeranian) No. 2.

Since 1895 it was subordinate to the 5th Infantry Brigade within the 3rd Division in Stettin.

First World War

With the beginning of World War I , the association mobilized on August 2, 1914 . In association with the 5th Infantry Brigade, the regiment moved into neutral Belgium and took part in the battles at the Gete and at Mons . This was followed by extensive fighting on the western front . At the end of December 1914, the regiment moved to the Eastern Front , where it was deployed in alternating positions until the end of the war. Most recently it was subordinate to the 5th Reserve Infantry Brigade of the 3rd Reserve Division since August 22, 1918 .

Whereabouts

After the armistice in Compiègne , the remnants of the regiment marched home and were demobilized in Stettin on December 6, 1918 and finally disbanded on September 30, 1919. Free formations were formed from parts , which then merged as 1st and 4th battalions in Reichswehr Infantry Regiment 3.

The tradition took over in the Reichswehr by decree of the Chief of the Army Command General of the Infantry Hans von Seeckt from August 24, 1921 the 1st and 2nd companies of the 5th (Prussian) Infantry Regiment in Stettin. In the Wehrmacht, the 5th Infantry Regiment continued the tradition.
