SYW Kreis: Ansbach Dragoons





The District (Kreis) of Franconia supplied a dragoon regiment to the Reichsarmee during the Seven Years' War. This regiment consisted of 5 squadrons of 2 companies each, for a nominal total strength of 700 men. Troopers came from several towns and villages:
  • 1st company (Leibkompanie): Ansbach (58), Schönborn (1), Weißenburg (11)
  • 2nd company: all troopers were from Würzburg
  • 3rd company: Hohenlohe Gesamthaus (3), Bartenstein (6), Schillingsfürst (14), Pfedelbach (5), Oehringen (17), Langenburg (4), Ingelfingen (4), Kirchberg (4), Schwarzenberg (11), Castell (3)
  • 4th company: all troopers were from Würzburg
  • 5th company: all troopers were from Nuremberg
  • 6th company: Eichstätt (45), Rineck (11), Erbach (14)
  • 7th company: Bamberg (70)
  • 8th company: Bayreuth (46), Limpurg (23), Castell (1)
  • 9th company: all troopers were from Nuremberg
  • 10th company: Teutonic Order (44), Würzburg (21), Wertheim (5)


This completes the infantry and cavalry of the Reichsarmee so now all that is left to do is the artillery and generals.
