abstract
  • The 1st Bavarian Landwehr Division (1. Bayerische Landwehr-Division) was a unit of the Bavarian Army, part of the Imperial German Army, in World War I. The division was formed on August 21, 1914 as the "Reinforced Bavarian Landwehr Division" (Verstärkte Bayerische Landwehr-Division) and was also known initially as the Wening Division (Division Wening), named after its commander, Otto Wening. It became the 1st Bavarian Landwehr Division in September 1914. The division was disbanded in 1919 during the demobilization of the German Army after World War I. The division was formed from various separate Landwehr units. Although called Bavarian, the division initially included several non-Bavarian units. Its 14th Landwehr Infantry Brigade included one Bavarian and one Württemberg regiment. Its 60th Landwehr Infantry Brigade (initially commanded by Lt. Gen. Hans von Blumenthal, who had come out of retirement) included one regiment formed in Alsace-Lorraine and one formed in Thuringia. The Thuringian regiment included Prussians and soldiers from the principalities of Reuss Junior Line and Schwarzburg-Sondershausen. The 60th Landwehr Infantry Brigade would be transferred to the newly formed 13th Landwehr Division in May 1915. In January 1916, the 1st Bavarian Landwehr Division was reorganized and became all-Bavarian.
