Army of Württemberg

Army of Württemberg

The army of the German state of Württemberg was until 1918 known in Germany as the "Württembergische Armee". Its troops were maintained by Württemberg for its national defence and as an unit of the Swabian Circle, the Confederation of the Rhine, the German Confederation and finally of the Imperial German Army. In addition, above all in the 18th century, there were also subsidised regiments that were left to the regular army and to other dukes and foreign powers to finance. This practice was often criticized as "soldier trading" or "Soldatenhandel".
