11th Hussar Regiment, Cavalry regiment in Krefeld, Germany
The 2nd Westphalian Hussar Regiment Number 11 operated as a cavalry unit within the Royal Prussian Army, stationed at the barracks on Westparkstrasse.
Established in December 1813 in Düsseldorf, the regiment originated from the remaining cavalry forces of the former Grand Duchy of Berg.
The regiment received the name 'Dancing Hussars of Krefeld' after Emperor Wilhelm II ordered their relocation to provide partners for aristocratic social events.
The regiment's memorial plaque remains mounted at the Düsseldorf police headquarters, commemorating their service from 1813 to 1906.
The city of Krefeld invested four million marks to construct new barracks, demonstrating the economic value placed on hosting the military unit.
