history
The elector and archbishop of Trier, Karl Joseph von Lothringen, established two regiments of the Electorate of Trier on August 19, 1715 , which in 1716 had been in imperial service for 10 years under the names of Old Lorraine and Young Lorraine . The first owners were the Lorraine Hereditary Prince Leopold Clemens Karl (Old Lorraine) and his next younger brother Franz Stephan von Lothringen (Young Lorraine) . After the sudden death of the Hereditary Prince, Franz became the owner of his brother's regiment . His old regiment received Leopold von Lignéville , which was now called the Lignéville Infantry Regiment . In the early modern period, the regiment, as usual, had different names after the respective regiment owners . In 1769 the permanent number 3 was added to the name of the owner: Lorraine Infantry Regiment No. 3 .
Formation history, replacement, and locations
Initially, the regiment's soldiers were recruited from all over the Holy Roman Empire. This included the estates of the Austrian hereditary lands . Above all, the areas of the Teutonic Order offered a replacement. This was the case until 1806. "Forbidden nationalities" were French , Italian , Swiss , Poles , Hungarians and Croatians . From 1766 a differentiated "Reichs-Werbung" was applied. From then on, soldiers were recruited mainly in the Lower Rhine-Westphalian Reichskreis and imperial cities of the Lower Saxon Empire . The locations changed until 1771. After that, standing quarters in the Austrian hereditary lands were considered permanent garrisons , with permanent advertising areas for the German regiments. The regiment was recruited in Lower Austria from 1781 and in the Hradischer Kreis in Moravia from 1830 .

- ↑ In 1915 the additional designations were abolished, from then on it was only to be called Infantry Regiment No. 3 . However, this could not be enforced in common parlance, one reason being that the thrifty Austro-Hungarian military administration had ordered that all existing stamps and forms should be used up first
