kuk Dragoon Regiment "Archduke Albrecht" No. 9
Imperial Cuirassier Regiment Prince Emanuel of Portugal (K 12) in the War of the Polish Succession in 1734 - Gudenus manuscript
Albrecht von Österreich-Teschen - photography - namesake 1888
The Imperial and Royal Dragoon Regiment "Archduke Albrecht" No. 9 emerged from a cavalry association that was established in 1682 as the Sachsen-Lauenburg-Cürassiere for the imperial-Habsburg army . From this the Galician-Bukovina Dragoon Regiment "Archduke Albrecht" No. 9 developed in the course of time up to the Joint Army within the Austro-Hungarian Land Forces . From 1798 to 1801 the Dragoon Regiment "Liechtenstein" became the Dragoon Regiment No. 9 guided.
In 1769 the regiment was given the name Cavalry Regiment No. 26 in the newly established Cavalry Ranking List . However, the name continued to be after the regiment owner (who did not also have to be the commander) until 1798 . A binding regulation of the spelling did not exist (e.g. Regiment Graf Serbelloni or Regiment Serbelloni). With each change of ownership, the affected regiment changed its name.
After the system was changed in 1798, the numbered designation prevailed, which could possibly be linked to the name of the owner. At first the name was changed to Dragoon Regiment (light) No. 3.
Since 1895 the regiment had to use its name "for ever". Nevertheless, in 1915 all honorary names were deleted without replacement. From then on, the regiment was only called Dragoon Regiment No. 9 (This could not be enforced in practice, on the one hand because no one adhered to it, on the other hand because the very thrifty Austro-Hungarian military administration had ordered that all existing forms and stamps be used up first! )
The following numbering was subsequently introduced for the system: 1682/1 (to Ticino ), Cuirassier regiment K 12 (to Bleckwenn ).
Formation history
- In 1682 Colonel Julius Franz Herzog von Sachsen-Lauenburg received a patent for the establishment of a cuirassier regiment. On March 6th of the same year the promotion and formation of this regiment in Bohemia began.

Sardinian war

German war
- 1866 : Four squadrons assigned to the 1st Reserve Cavalry Division, the regiment fought at Wysokow, Skalitz and the battle of Königgrätz .
- At the beginning of the First World War, the dragoons fought in the regimental group as a cavalryman. Subsequently, the cavalry was increasingly used to support other branches of arms in individual squadrons or platoons for reconnaissance, security and liaison tasks, and after 1916 they were only used as infantry (dismounted) in trench warfare.
On August 21, 1914, the regiment (Colonel Johann Kopecek) fought in the 4th Austro-Hungarian Cavalry Division (Major General Edmund Ritter von Zaremba) in the cavalry battle near Jarosławice | Yaroslavychi (today Ukraine) against the 10th Russian Cavalry Division (Lieutenant General Count Fedor Arturowitsch Keller).
After the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian state structure and the proclamation of the so-called successor states in October 1918, the soldiers of non-German descent were called on by the interim government to stop the fighting and return home. As a rule, this request was followed. Thus the association was withdrawn from its previous high command, the Austro-Hungarian War Ministry, and could not be demobilized by it, but at most theoretically dissolved. It is currently not known whether, when and where such a dissolution took place.

structure
As a rule, a regiment in the Austro-Hungarian cavalry originally consisted of three to four (exceptionally more) divisions. (A division was used here to refer to a battalion-strength unit. The correct division was called an infantry or cavalry division.) Each division had three squadrons , each of which consisted of two companies . The number of riders in the individual sub-units fluctuated, but was usually around 80 riders per company or 160 riders per squadron.
(During the army reform begun by Emperor Joseph II , the company structure within the cavalry was given up.)
The individual divisions were named after their formal leaders:
- the 1st division was the colonel division
- the 2nd division was the lieutenant colonel (lieutenant colonel) division
- the 3rd division was the majors division
- the 4th division was the 2nd majors division
- the 5th division (if any) was the 3rd majors division
Due to the constant renaming, the regimental histories of the Austro-Hungarian cavalry are very difficult to follow. In addition, there is the constant and apparently arbitrary, sometimes multiple reclassification of the associations. (For example: Kuk Bohemian Dragoon Regiment "Prince of Windisch-Graetz" No. 14 )
As part of the army reform, the cavalry regiments, which at that time consisted of three divisions, were reduced to two divisions from 1860 onwards.
