German Awards - Jubilee Medal 2. Kronprinz Infantry Regiment

The jubilee medal for the 2nd Kronprinz Infantry Regiment was awarded along with 3 other medals on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of its founding. Anniversary of the 4th oldest Bavarian regiments, donated with the permission of Crown Prince Rupprecht. Other regiments included the 10th König Infantry Regiment, the 1st Shevolezherov Regiment, and the 2nd Shevolezherov Regiment. Medals were awarded in memory of former servicemen.
The regiment was formed in 1682 for the Kurbarian army under the name "Degenfeld on Foot" under the command of Elector Max Emanuel. In the 19th century, the 2nd Infantry Regiment was called the Kronprinz, because the owners of the regiment, along with the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, were the Kurprins, and later the Crown Princes. Throughout the history of the regiment, the regiment participated in many wars. The name of the regiment has changed several times. So, among other things, they called the "2nd Grenadier Regiment of Kurprinets," "Fusilier Regiment of Kurprinets" and "2nd Line Infantry Regiment of Kurprinets." In World War I, it was part of the 6th Army under the command of Crown Prince Rupprecht and suffered heavy losses. After the war, the tradition was adopted by 3 companies of the 19th Bavarian Infantry Regiment.
