First World War

The 2nd Royal Bavarian Uhlan Regiment () was a Bavarian Army Cavalry Regiment formed in 1863 in Ansbach. From 6 July 1864 it was nominally commanded by King Ludwig II of Bavaria until he was succeeded by King Otto of Bavaria on 13 June 1886.

Peacetime service and uniform

The regiment was part of the 4th Cavalry Brigade of then II Royal Bavarian Army Corps and later III Royal Bavarian Army Corps. The peacetime uniform was of dark green with crimson plastron and facings. A czapka with crimson top and white plume was worn in full dress.

Active Service

During the Franco-Prussian War the 2.Ulanen Regiment fought at Worth and Sedan in August and September 1870. It then undertook patrol work during the Siege of Paris.

In August 1914 the regiment saw action at the Battle of the Marne and in Flanders. It was subsequently transferred to the Eastern Front.

Disbandment

In common with the other Royal Bavarian cavalry regiments, the 2.Ulanen Regiment was disbanded in February 1919. Between the wars its traditions were preserved by the 2nd Squadron of the Reiter-Regiment Nr. 17 which formed part of the garrison of Ansbach.
