bolewts58 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 The Freikorps Hessen-Thüringen-Waldeck (also Hessisch-Thüringisch-Waldecksches Freikorps) was formed in January 1919 at Truppenübungsplatz (Military training center) Ohrdruff, Thuringia from remnants of the Imperial 38. Infanterie-Division. It was commanded by Oberst von Kornatzky. It had a strength of 3,457. ORDER OF BATTLE Freiwilligen-Regiment - 3 Battalions - Minenwerfer-Kompanie - Infanterie Geschütz-Batterie Freiwilligen Husaren Regiment 14 - 2 Squadrons., - MG-Squadron Freiwilligen Feldartillerie-Regiment 55 - 3 Batteries By September 1919 when this sports medal was awarded Freikorps Hessen-Thüringen-Waldeck had become part of Reichswehr Brigade 11 of the Vorläufige Reichswehr (Preliminary Reichswehr), which had been formed in June 1919. There were several Freikorps/Reichswehr Sports Wettkampfen (sports competitions) held in Munich in September and October 1919 and you often find different types of sports medals from these competitions awarded to different units.
