Until 1872 the foot artillery was still called fortress artillery.
In peacetime it was organized as a regiment.
During the First World War, the foot artillery was initially used in battalions and later only in batteries.
It was very seldom that a regiment-wise deployment took place.
Only after the reorganization under Hindenburg and Ludendorff were the units deployed again in battalions.
