history
On October 1, 1901, the association from III. Division of the 6th and 6th Mobile Batteries of the 4th and 6th Field Artillery Regiment formed in Erlangen . It was divided into two sections with three batteries and two traveling batteries.

First World War
At the beginning of the First World War , the regiment mobilized on August 2, 1914 . In association with the 5th Infantry Division , it initially took part in the border battles and the Battle of Lorraine , fought near Nancy - Épinal and from mid-September 1914 was involved in trench warfare between the Meuse and the Moselle . In mid-March 1915 there were two platoons from the 1st Battery for the deployment of the 19th Field Artillery Regiment . In the autumn of 1915 the regiment took part in the Battle of Champagne and fought in the Battle of the Somme in September 1916 . According to the instructions of the War Ministry of March 1, 1917, the association was converted to a III. Department added, which was set up from the light ammunition columns of the 1st and 2nd divisions and was immediately mobile. Subordinated directly to the 5th Infantry Division from March 6 to April 11, 1917, the regiment then came to the Army Field Artillery. On December 28, 1917, the subordination changed again and the regiment was subordinated to the artillery commander of the 5th Infantry Division. After trench warfare in Flanders and Artois , the association took part in the Great Battle of France on March 21, 1918 . After the German offensive came to a standstill, the regiment was in permanent defensive battles until the end of the war. Due to heavy losses, the regiment was formed in September 1918, eliminating the 3rd, 5th and 7th batteries in a total of six batteries. On November 5, 1918, the staff of III followed. Department.
More than 300 members of the regiment perished in the First World War.
Whereabouts
After the end of the war , the remnants of the regiment marched back to the garrison , where they arrived on December 19, initially demobilized on December 21, 1918 and finally disbanded in January 1919. Various free formations were formed from parts . For example, the Germersheim volunteer battery, the 1st Volkswehr battery, also the Zenetti battery of the artillery division of the Jägerkorps Erlangen and the 2nd Volkswehr battery in Limpach. With the formation of the Provisional Reichswehr , the units in the Reichswehr Artillery Regiment 24 were absorbed.
The tradition in the Reichswehr was adopted by the 8th battery of the 7th (Bavarian) Artillery Regiment in Nuremberg by decree of the Chief of the Army Command, General of the Infantry Hans von Seeckt , on August 24, 1921 . In the Wehrmacht , the tradition was continued by the 1st and 2nd divisions of Artillery Regiment 17 in Erlangen.
