Contents of the inventory and notes on use: <br /> Inventory 456 F 76 contains the records of the 2nd Baden Dragoon Regiment No. 21, the Replacement Escadron assigned to the Association in the event of war, and the settlement office responsible for demobilising the regiment after 1918. The duration of the documents extends from 1856 to 1920, with the clear majority of the files covering the years around or after 1900. The collection is divided into the peace records dating back to the outbreak of the First World War, the war records dating from between 1914 and 1918, and the documents of the settlement office which subsequently became active. There are major gaps in the tradition, especially with regard to escadrilles. The numerous files of the regiment staff which have been handed down can also not be described as complete in all areas for the period after 1900. The 2nd Baden Dragoon Regiment was set up on 20 February 1850 and moved to Prussia for a short time in the same year. From December 1850 the association was stationed in Karlsruhe, then in Bruchsal and from 1862 again in Karlsruhe. From 1867 one escadron each was stationed in Durlach and later in Rastatt, the remaining four escadron were housed in Bruchsal. In 1855 the regiment was given the name "Margrave Maximilian". The association's participation in the Franco-German War of 1870/71 ended the independent military administration in Baden. On July 1, 1871, a consecutive number was added to the formation name as a result of the military convention concluded with Prussia and the associated classification of the Baden troops into the Prussian army. Thus the last valid designation was established as 2nd Baden Dragoon Regiment No. 21. Within the Prussian military, the formation was first assigned to the 29th Cavalry Brigade within the 29th Division of the XIV Army Corps in 1871. In 1890 the assignment to this large unit ended, until 1914 the regiment remained part of the 28th cavalry brigade of the 28th division within the peace army. In the years after 1895, the Association received a new barracks building in Bruchsal, the construction of which is also reflected in the present inventory (cf. 456 F 76 No. 9). Some soldiers of the regiment were detached to the East Asian Expeditionary Corps, which was supposed to participate in the suppression of the "Boxer Rebellion". To this end, the association provided logistical support from Bruchsal during the preparation phase and subsequently during the expedition. With the beginning of the First World War, the regiment was first deployed in Lorraine, while the installation of a replacement escadron began in Bruchsal. In the autumn of 1914 the association was transferred to the East and operations were carried out at Lodz and in Lithuania. Between the end of September 1917 and January 1918, part of the association was deployed behind the front in Lithuania under the name "Detachement Eschborn". The department's activities primarily related to the performance of police duties, such as patrolling bandits, searching for escaped prisoners of war and ensuring peace and order. With the change of the regiment commander the name of the formation changed. From mid-January to mid-April 1918 the department was run as "Detachement Heyl". With the end of the First World War the relocation to Bruchsal began. Until 1920, the demobilisation and subsequent dissolution of the regiment was carried out there by the liquidation agency set up for this purpose.<br /> <br /> Existing history: <br /> After the end of the First World War, the files of the formations to be dissolved in the area of the XIV Army Corps remained with the liquidation agencies concerned with their demobilisation. From January 1920, the establishment of a corps archive was begun, in which the documents of the settlement agencies were brought together. In this way, the holdings at hand were transferred to the Corps Archive in Heilbronn, which was established in autumn 1920 and incorporated into the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam as a branch on 1 April 1921. In the years 1947 to 1949, the documents, together with the other records of the XIV Army Corps, were sent to the General State Archives in Karlsruhe via an intermediate step in the Heeresarchiv Stuttgart. A detailed inventory history can be found in the introduction to inventory 456 F 8. The inventory 456 F 76 contains mostly Prussian bound files. For the most part, the files had probably already been brought into their present form by the registry formator, the rest was probably formed by the Heilbronn branch of the Imperial Archives following the demobilisation as part of the initial processing of the documents by the Imperial Archives. Access to the archival records belonging to the XIVth Army Corps had first to take place via the directories prepared in the Heilbronn/Stuttgart branch of the Imperial Archives or the Stuttgart Army Archives. As permanent finding aids these were insufficient, so that on the basis of the very summarily arranged lists the new indexing of the documents took place gradually. The present stock was revised in October 2012 for the supply in the Internet. It comprises 104 fascicles with a circumference of 2.1 linear metres.
