This blog is dedicated to the preservation of the heritage of the German cavalry soldier during the First World War and the years immediately before and in particular, the 2 Chevauleger Regiment of the Bavarian Army. Our approach is primarily through the use of living history where we strive to recreate the material culture as closely as possible and give a depiction of the regiment during the First World War era. Comments are welcome that are appropriate to the focus of this blog. Horrido!

The Chevaulegerlied
March music has always been a staple of every army and the German Army was no exception. Many marches were naturally "military", composed for the Army's use. However, popular musical pieces were also adapted for use as marches. One official march of the 2 Chevauleger was adapted from the opera Das Nachtlager von Granada by Konrad Kreutzer. If you want to hear the tune, you can listen to it below.
