The 2nd Landwehr Division (''2. Landwehr-Division'') was an infantry division of the Imperial German Army during World War I. It was formed on the mobilization of the German Army in August 1914 under the "Higher ''Landwehr'' Commander 2" (''Höherer Landwehr-Kommandeur 2''). The Landwehr was the third category of the German Army, after the regular Army and the reserves. Thus Landwehr divisions were made up of older soldiers, who had passed from the reserves and were intended primarily for occupation and security duties rather than heavy combat. However, the circumstances of war often changed this. ==Organization at mobilization== On mobilization, the Higher ''Landwehr'' Commander 2 commanded four mixed Landwehr brigades (''gemischte Landwehr-Brigaden''), each of which generally included its own infantry, cavalry and artillery. The initial wartime organization was as follows:〔Hermann Cron et al., ''Ruhmeshalle unserer alten Armee'' (Berlin, 1935)〕〔(2.
