Infanterie Regiment Nr.7 "von Standorf"

When their ancestral lands were occupied by the French Monarch Louis XIV, the von Standorf family gladly accepted asylum in Beimbach-Schönau.  This was granted due to their familial ties with Hubertus II (The von Standorfs are closely related to Reichsfürstin Wilhelmine)

As the youngest of the Colonels, Joachim von Standorf is often underestimated.   Although not yet thirty he displays great potential as a General and his eagerness for combat promises a great future.

Regimental details are thus:

Officers wear metallic "Gold" lace and buttons.
Grenadiers have a Red and White cap bag.

Inhaber: Joachim, Ritter von Standorf
