This is a list of Imperial German artillery regiments[1] before and during World War I. In peacetime, the Imperial German Army included 100 regiments of Field artillery (plus the Lehr instruction unit) and 24 regiments of Foot artillery (plus another Lehr instruction unit) who operated the heavier pieces. Some of these regiments had a history stretching back to the 17th Century, while others were only formed as late as October 1912.[2]
