Contents of the inventory and notes on use: <br /> Inventory 456 F 75 contains the records of the 1st Baden Leib-Dragoner-Regiment No. 20, 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 1870 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 took action immediately thereafter. Larger gaps in the tradition exist in particular with regard to the escadrilles, of which only very few files have survived. However, also the numerous handed down files of the regiment staff are not to be called complete. The formation, later known as the 1st Leib-Dragoner-Regiment, was taken over from the Palatine military on 23 March 1803 as the Light Dragoner Escadron and remained stationed in Heidelberg for the time being. Participation in the Napoleonic Wars was followed by the stationing of two escadrilles each in Bruchsal and Mannheim and a fifth in Schwetzingen. In January 1804 the formation got the name 1. dragoon regiment, from 1809 dragoon regiment of Freystedt no. 1. In April 1839 the name changed again to dragoon regiment of Freystedt no. 2. In April 1839 the formation consisting of four escadres at this time was stationed in Mannheim. Because of the participation of important parts of the Baden military in the revolution 1848/49 the dragoon regiment was dissolved after the suppression of the revolution by Prussian troops with the exception of the 4. escadron. The 1st cavalry depot was formed from the remainder of the formation, before on February 1, 1850, the 1st cavalry regiment with four escadrilles was reassembled as the 1st cavalry regiment. The command was temporarily taken over by the later Grand Duke Prince Friedrich of Baden. 1851 the regiment was transferred to Karlsruhe, on 10 January 1855 a further renaming took place in 1st Dragoner Regiment. On September 20, 1856 it was finally given the name 1st Leib-Dragoner-Regiment. After two years of stationing in Bruchsal the formation was moved back to Mannheim in 1864. 1866 the Prussian-Austrian War was followed by a short reorganisation of the formation after the Prussian model and with the addition of a 5th Eskadron. Three escadrilles were then stationed in Mannheim, the other two in Schwetzingen. With the participation of the regiment in the Franco-German War of 1870/71, the independent military administration of Baden ended. 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 1st Baden Leib-Dragoner-Regiment No. 20. In peacetime, the regiment was assigned to the jurisdiction of the 28th Division of the XIV Army Corps and the 28th Cavalry Brigade, subordinate to this major unit. In 1887 the formation was relocated to Karlsruhe. Only the 4th Eskadron was initially accommodated in Durlach before the complete reunification in Karlsruhe was completed in 1897. A detailed history of the formation for the period from 1803 to 1897 can be found in 456 F 75 No. 1 and No. 2. Particular reference should be made to the documents relating to the deployment of German troops to China in 1900 (cf. 456 F 75 No. 81). 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 Karlsruhe during the preparation of the expedition. At the time of the mobilization in August 1914 the association was assigned to the 6th Cavalry Division. While the regiment soon moved to France, the Federation's replacement escadron remained stationed in Karlsruhe. After a brief deployment in France, the Leib-Dragoner Regiment was moved to the east at the beginning of November 1914, first in the Lodz region and then further east on the Düna. In the middle of January 1917 the horses were moved to Hadersleben in North Schleswig (today Haderslev, Denmark), where the training of escadrilles for use in infantry took place and the horses belonging to the association were used in agriculture during this time. From September 1917, the regiment was entrusted with border security in the Belgian-Dutch border area, before a new deployment in northern France followed in 1918, which, however, took place primarily behind the front line. With the end of the First World War, the return march to Germany began, where the demobilisation of the regiment began in Eppingen in December.<br /> <br /> 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 processing 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 75 contains for the most part 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 81 fascicles with a circumference of 2.2 running metres. It is under the signature 456 F 75 No. ... to order.<br /> <br /> Corresponding holdings and literature: <br /> holdings 65 manuscripts, no. 11382-11385, 11392-11394, 11760: Master and shunting books as well as descriptions of the regiment history of the 1st Baden Leib-Dragoner-Regiment no. 20.Bray-Steinburg, Wilhelm von: History of the 1st Baden Leib-Dragoner-Regiment No. 20 and its main regiment of the Baden Dragoner-Regiment von Freystedt from 1813 to the present, Berlin 1909.Cron, Hermann: Die Organisation des deutschen Armeres im Weltkriege.
