Hitlerputsch 8. / 9. November 1923 - what units fought against the rebels?

[Oberbootsmann]

Hello. I've tried to find more information regarding the units of Reichswehr and Landespolizei who fought aginst Hitler and the other rebels on 8. / 9. November 1923 in Munich.
Does someone have an idea what units and how many soldiers participated in the divestiture of the Hitlerputsch?

Regards

I think response might be better if you placed the question in the Political Organizations Forum. Searching some background sites, all I could find mentioned was the 19th Inf Rgt, the local Officer School and of course members of the Bavarian Landespolizei and the Polizei Direktion Munchen including both local Precinct and some Kripo officers. I noted in one site concerning a book on the Dissolution of the Nazi Party in the Verbotenzeit, that there exits Reports on the Putsch prepared by the Munich Police Directorate for the following trial. You might search for those. I would imagine they would be in the Institute f. Zeitgeschichte in Munich.

Hi Joe. Thank you very much for your posting. I was looking for any information that I.R. 19 was involved in the Putsch and you have confirmed it.
May I ask where you found the information regarding I.R. 19?

It will take awhile to locate the sites I accessed using my history.

Hi Joe.

Thanks for your help. I've also found a website confirming that I.R. 19 was involved in the "Beer Hall Putsch".

Unfortunately it is just in German:

Did you find this sub-chapter in the Bundesarchive dealing with JR19?

The march to the Feldherrnhalle..............

Hello to all ; a little complement..................

The march to the Feldherrnhalle on 9 November 1923.
By Hans Weber.

I was on 8 November 1923 with the Bund Oberland in Bürgerbräukeller; the majority of upland formations came in the pioneer school, Schwindstrasse, under General Aechter. All in great readiness.

In the night for November 9, 1923 our Company (1. Company, First Battalion, battalion commander was Hauptmann Ludwig Oestreicher and Company Leader Oberleutnant Peter Schederecker) received the order to occupy the Bogenhauser bridge and we marched immediately to our goal. At the bridge was an inn where we lodged for the night. Today there is a bank branch.

In the morning arrived there many workers, professionals, and they went in the English Garden on the Bridge to the Krauss-Maffei. We were all warmly welcomed, even with amazement, there was not a single bad word.

Other formations were at the Ludwig bridge - here was a gun, the city Reichenbach bridge, bridge Cornelius, all occupied.

During the early morning appeared before our eyes with several trucks, the "green police state" (Grüne Landespolizei) and found us - in readiness - at the bridge, without a word, they stood just across the length of the bridge. The leader of the Bavarian State Police and our company leader, Oberleutnant Schederecker knew him from the World War. That was good, and later crucial.

They negotiated on the bridge, nearly in the middle, both formations were at the beginning of each access of the bridge.

When the shots at the Feldherrnhalle fell, the coup collapsed, we walked armed before the eyes of the Green State Police. There was no attempt to disarm us by the police.

With a forced march we left the city of Munich, thru the Perlacher forest as far as Höhenkirchen, towards crossroad, in rainy cold weather. We hid our weapons among the farmers (machine guns, rifles, pistols, etc.) and they covered them with potatoes, turnips and straw, as much as was possible in a hurry. Late at night we traveled by train to the station Giesinger, as a criminal, with disappointed depressed mood, we returned to Munich.
