Maß- und Rangierbücher des Zweiten Husarenregiments are official regimental administrative records documenting the structure, personnel, and organization of the 2nd Hussar Regiment within the Hessian-Prussian military tradition.
These books are part of the standardized military personnel and organization registers used in German armies to record the exact composition of units—listing officers, non-commissioned officers, enlisted men, company assignments, rank progression, and service status.
The “Maß” (measurement) and “Rangier” (ranking/ordering) components refer to the systematic classification of soldiers within the regiment, ensuring precise documentation of hierarchy, seniority, and assignment to squadrons. Such records were essential for administration, pay, promotions, and mobilization planning.
