From 1852 until the dissolution of the federation it was stationed in Bonn. The Hussars were subordinated to the 15th Division. The regiment led since 1857 by the Prussian king and later German Emperor Wilhelm I. The regiment took part in the wars of liberation 1813/15, the Prussian-Austrian war 1866, the German-French war 1870/71 and the First World War.
