Infanterie-Regiment von Spitznatz

Ducato di Württemberg 1756–1763

The owner of the reggimento, Generalfeldmarschall-Leutnant von Spitznatz, commanded the due Württemberg fanteria brigades von Romann e von Roeder at the Battle of Leuthen, 5 dicembre 1757. To avoid confusion con similarly uniformed truppe prussiane, the Württemberg granatieri wore white cloth covers over their mitrie di granatieri in stile prussiano. The tre converged battaglioni di granatieri von Pleß, von Georgi, e von Klettenburg covered the withdrawal of the left flank of the imperial army at Leuthen.

In 1758, General-Major von Romann became the new owner of the reggimento which was now named Infanterie-Regiment von Romann. Johann Kaspar Schiller, father of German poet Johann Christoph Friedrich Schiller, was promoted lieutenant of Infanterie-Regiment von Romann in 1759. It is likely that his mentor e newly appointed commander of the reggimento, colonel Christoph Friedrich von Gabelenz, had seen to it that Johann Kaspar Schiller was offered the vacant post. Colonel von Gabelenz later became the godfather of Christoph Friedrich Schiller, who was born on 11 novembre 1759 at Marbach.

In 1761, ownership of the reggimento changed once again. The reggimento was now called Infanterie-Regiment Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm von Württemberg.
