The Fußartillerie (Foot Artillery)
This page lists all Fußartillerie Regiments of the German empire in 1914 including the kingdom of Bayern (Bavaria). All Regiments except Sachsen (Saxon) wore a Dunkelblau (dark blue) Waffenrock with black collar and black Brandenburg cuffs with a blue vertical pane and white shoulder straps. Bayern (Bavaria) used black vertical panels on the black Brandenburg cuffs. The collar, lower section of the cuffs, and piping on the front opening and rear skirt was red. The Garde Regiment, Shooting School and Proving Commission had collar and cuffs decorated with yellow Litzen for men, gilt for officers. Sachsen (Saxon) Battalions wore a green Waffenrock w/ red collar & cuffs piped in green, however, the front opening and rear skirt were piped in red. All Regiments wore a leather Pickelhaube with gilt fittings and ball top except Bayern who wore a spike top until 1916. The chart below lists the Regiment with garrison, cuff details, shoulder strap color with number or cypher, and details of the helmet Wappen (front plate). For color plates of all Shoulder strap cyphers, and helmet Wappen, the links at the top of this page will open these color plates in a new window. * NOTE* The correct abbreviation for Fußartillerie is "AF"
