Austrian Line Infantry Regiments 1792-1815

Apart from England, Austria was the most consistent opponent of both Revolutionary and Napoleonic France, the Emperor of the Holy Roman German Empire from 1806 from Austria (-Hungary) was not only closely familiar with the Bourbons, but was also later connected with Napoleon. In this area of operations it was therefore the strongest land power in addition to Russia and part of the coalition forces. An attempt is made here, between the different periods of their operations. These can be roughly divided into the periods from 1792-1799, 1805, 1809 and 1812 to 1815. The following table lists all the regiments of the period and provides information in addition to the name and the supplementary district - which was also the main reasons for the standardization - and the garrisons. If changes have occurred in the period, they are listed with the year from the validity.

Structure of the Austrian line infantry regiment

Line Infantry Regiment list 
(Service Regulations of 1807)

Basically, in the Austrian army of the time all regiments are distinguished between "German" and "Hungarian". Among the latter are all the regiments, as the district supplements have Hungary or Transylvania. This difference also results from the special status that the Hungarian lands had within the Hapsburg monarchy. It was reflected not only in the various regimental strength, but also in the uniforms.

Structure from 1807 to 1809;

Each regiment of infantry of the line consisted of three battalions, including two field and a garrison battalion. The two field battalions were comprised of 6 Füsilierkompanien, organized into three divisions, and were simply numbered. The first battalion consisted of the 1st to 6 Füsilierkompanie, the second battalion of companies No. 7 to 12 and the garrison battalion comprised 4 Füsilierkompanien No.s 13 to 16. In addition, each regiment of two grenadier companies resulted in a division, but were taken to separate infantry battalions together.

As the name suggests, the garrison battalion was used to provide services in the garrison, and was therefore provided with less military-grade men. In wartime, this battalion could be increased by six Füsilierkompanien by the state (then with the additional companies of Nos. 17 and 18).

To complement the three battalions Abrichtungs one depot division existed with two companies, which included a total of 881 men and 416 among German men in the Hungarian regiments. The effective state of the infantry regiments varied greatly and depended on the degree of recruitment in the Supplementary districts. According to the service regulations of 1807 these included a German line infantry regiment, of a total of 3318 men, a Hungarian line infantry regiment with a total of just over 3638 men - each with no depots and grenadiers. Criste / Vedropolje indicate in their analysis of the organization for the campaign of 1809, the thickness of the line infantry regiments with 3.999 for German and Hungarian regiments of 4,359 men - again, regardless of depot and grenadier companies.

The staff of a regiment was under the Service Regulations of 1807. A staff consisted of a colonel, a lieutenant-colonel, two majors, one regiment chaplain, 1 regiment Auditor, a regimental surgeon, a regimental accounting officer, a regimental adjutant, 3 Battalion Adjutants, three senior physicians, 9 physicians, 6 "Ordinary "Cadets, 9 sergeants, 1 drummer regiment, 8 oboists, 8 leaders, a provost, 4 to 8 Fouriers.

Each company involved in peacetime 1 captain, 1 lieutenant, 1 sub-lieutenant, 1 ensign, 1 sergeant, 6 corporals, seven vice-corporal (common soldiers with being a commissioned officer), two drummers and a carpenter. Grenadier companies had instead of Ensign another vice-corporal. In wartime, each company included a total of 12 corporals - that had no vice-corporal - another sergeant and another carpenter, and the Füsilierkompanien had an additional 4 corporals. An infantry company consisted of 145 men with lots and grenadiers, within the varied Füsilierkompanien. German infantry regiments had a total of 218, Hungarian regiments a total of 238 men.

Each battalion held a flag.
