Austro-Hungarian Empire Infantry Regiments

Question

Does anyone know of a list, webpage, or book that lists the Austria-Hungarian infantry regiments in the first part of the 1800s.

I am particular interested in those that were in Austrian Silesia (Troppau / Opava area) or Moravia.

Thanks in advance.

Hi George I would start here and then go back threw the sources :

Maybe that helps also a little bit; problem is the language;  the website is in German but the pages after the links are in  Hungarian language.

As I understood after 1806 (collaps of the Holy Roman Empire) the following troops are from the Troppau area:

From the

1. (Schlesisches) Infanterieregiment:

• 4. Batallion

13. (Galizisches) Infanterieregiment

• Stab
• 2. Batallion
• 3. Batallion

Dieter,

This is what I was looking for! It probably didn’t turn up in my search results because my search was Eng,ish only.

Many wikipedia battle sites provide an order of battle section.

I have several instances of marriage records were a man, from the local community, in the unit, married locally. I am trying to get info on these regiments.

I looked up a couple of rather major battles in what is now the Czech Republic, Austerlitz, in the Napoleonic War, and Königgratz, in the Prussia-Austria war, and was disappointed in how little information was present on  the Austria forces.
