Order of Battle On Mobilization
On mobilization in August 1914 at the beginning of World War I, most divisional cavalry, including brigade headquarters, was withdrawn to form cavalry divisions or split up among divisions as reconnaissance units. Divisions received engineer companies and other support units from their higher headquarters. The 7th Division was again renamed the 7th Infantry Division. Its initial wartime organization was as follows:
- 13.Infanterie-Brigade:
- Infanterie-Regiment Fürst Leopold von Anhalt-Dessau (1. Magdeburgisches) Nr. 26
- 3. Magdeburgisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 66
- 14.Infanterie-Brigade:
- Infanterie-Regiment Prinz Louis Ferdinand von Preußen (2. Magdeburgisches) Nr. 27
- 5. Hannoversches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 165
- "1/2" Magdeburgisches Husaren-Regiment Nr. 10
- 7. Feldartillerie-Brigade:
- Feldartillerie-Regiment Prinz-Regent Luitpold von Bayern (Magdeburgisches) Nr. 4
- Altmärkisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 40
- 1./Magdeburgisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 4
