Field Artillery Regiment No. 12<br />The accession of Saxony to the North German Federation in 1867 also included the conclusion of a military convention with Prussia on 7 February 1867. Accordingly, Saxony retained its own contingent within the Imperial Army, but this had to be structured according to Prussian patterns.<a href="#B01"><sup id="A01">[01]</sup></a> From the previous artillery corps, a field artillery regiment no. 12 was formed into 4 foot and one riding section and a fortress artillery regiment no. 12. The latter consisted of the fortress department, the main armoury and the pioneer and train battalion. In 1871 the fortress department was transformed into the battalion of foot artillery No. 12, which in 1873 was given the name Regiment of Foot Artillery No. 12. In 1872, provisional provisions were adopted amending the organisation of field artillery. The two regiments to be newly formed have not yet been given a final designation. They existed under the name Field Artillery Regiment No. 12 "Corps Artillery" with two field and one riding divisions and the Field Artillery Regiment No. 12 "Division Artillery" with two field divisions. On 1 June 1874, the final reorganisation of the entire artillery came into force. Afterwards the regiments mentioned had the names 1. field artillery regiment No. 12 and 2. field artillery regiment No. 28. The 1. field artillery regiment No. 12 was divided into 2 sections with 4 batteries each and a riding section with 2 riding batteries.<br />1881 the regiment was strengthened by 2 batteries, so that the III. section (so far riding section) was also four batteries, two of them riding, strong. These two batteries were dissolved again in 1887. Therefore a new battery, the 3rd riding battery, was formed. The III. department received again the designation riding department. 1889 the I. and II. department to form the 3. field artillery regiment no. 32 to be newly formed. Each department now consisted of 3 batteries. In 1890 a new III. department of 3 batteries was formed, so that including the continuing riding department the regiment was now 12 batteries strong. In the course of the reinforcement of the army in 1899, the XIXth Army Corps with its headquarters in Leipzig was set up. The field artillery formed since that time 2 field artillery brigades. The Field Artillery Regiment No. 12 surrendered part of its stock to form the new Field Artillery Regiments No. 48 and No. 77, whereby the III. Division and the 3. Riding Battery were to be dissolved. The Field Artillery Regiment No. 68, also newly erected, was formed from parts of the Field Artillery Regiment No. 32. In 1913 the Riding Department received again a 3rd Riding Battery.<br /><br />Segmentation of the Regiment 1914:<br />Regiment Staff<br /><br />I.

These should cover the departure of officers, teams, horses and equipment. For the Field Artillery Regiment No. 12, the replacement department of the regiment in Dresden was the responsible replacement troop part.<br />After the armistice of 11 November 1918, the regiment began the return march. This took place on the ordered return march roads up to the loading place Münster. After their arrival, the regiment marched to the designated demobilization sites Leuben Reick, Niedersedlitz, Kaitz, Nöthnitz and Mockritz for the Königsbrück Riding Department. According to the order of the 23rd Infantry Division, the first demobilisation day was 19 December 1918. Although the regiment had officially ceased to exist on 31 March 1919, demobilisation continued until July 1919. On September 14, 1920, order no. 3191/I of the XII. Army Corps ordered the final liquidation of the regiment's liquidation body for September 30, 1920. The last parts of the personnel entered the Reichswehr artillery regiment no. 12.<br /><br />Bewaffnung<br />The reorganization of the army in 1867 introduced the continuous arming of the artillery with the Krupp breech guns, the 9 cm gun (drawn six-pounder) and the leaked 8 cm gun (four-pounder). In January 1874, the newly developed and tested 8.8 cm calibre guns were introduced as the heavy C/73 field gun and the 7.85 cm calibre as the light C/73 field gun. In spring 1897, the 7.7 cm calibre unit gun manufactured by Krupp, known as Feldkannone 96, was introduced. From this cannon the field cannon 96 n/A with pipe return and protective shield was developed. The rearmament of the field artillery with this cannon began in 1905 and ended in 1908. In addition, the light field howitzer 98 with a caliber of 10.5 cm was developed and introduced during the reorganization of the field artillery begun in 1899. This gun also received barrel recoil and shield, the introduction as light field howitzer 98.09 took place in 1909. The rearmament began in 1910 and ended in 1912. At the beginning of the 1st World War the 1st Field Artillery Regiment No. 12 was equipped with these guns.<br /><br />Kommandeure<br />1867 Oberst Köhler<br />1868 Oberstleutnant von Funke<br />1871 Oberstleutnant Heydenreich<br />1880 Oberst von Schweingel<br />1885 Oberstleutnant Groh<br />1886 Oberstleutnant Haberland<br />1890 Oberstleutnant Teichmann<br />1894 Oberst von Wilsdorf<br />1897 Oberstleutnant Gäde<br />1901 Oberstleutnant Heintze<br />1902 Oberst von Larisch<br />1906 Oberst von Watzdorf<br />1910 Oberstleutnant Baeßler<br />1914 Oberstleutnant Schulz<br />1914 Oberstleutnant von Wolf (from 22nd to 24th October 2006)9.1914)<br />1917 Major Tscharmann (from 16.2.1917)<br />1918 Lieutenant Colonel von Wolf (from 4.12.1918 until dissolution)<br /><br />Garnisonen<br />1867-1874<br />Dresden (Rod, I. and III.
