Trabant (military)
A trabant (Ital. ''trabanti'', from the German ''traben'', Lat.: ''satellites'') was a historical name for an attendant, bodyguard or life guard, especially in the Middle Ages, who usually travelled on foot (as opposed to horseback).〔Meyers Großes Konversations-Lexikon〕 The role of a ''trabant'' was to protect a member of the aristocracy, a senior official or a senior ''Landsknecht'' officer, or to carry out their orders. For a long time it was customary for them to dress in short white hose and a waistcoat in the Spanish style. In earlier times they were armed with a halberd and a dagger. Later they were also used as cavalry.〔Brockhaus Bilder-Conversations-Lexikon〕
The ''trabant'' guards frequently formed the core of household troops or, as in Brandenburg, field troops as well. The ''Gardes du Corps'' were formed from the 2 companies of trabants serving the Electorate of Brandenburg's grand elector, who fought with him in 1675 at the Battle of Fehrbellin.
In the order of battle in 1682 for the newly created Saxon Army there were 172 horses listed in the Trabant Horse Guards (''Trabanten-Leibgarde zu Roß'') as well as 65 men in the Trabant Foot Guards (''Leibgarde der Fuß-Trabanten'').〔Larraß S. 1/2〕 In 1701, the Saxon ''Gardes du Corps'' was formed out of the Saxon trabants. This Saxon regiment met its end in Napoleon's 1812 Russian campaign. In the endless march on Moscow and the subsequent retreat, almost all the trabants lost their lives. The Elector did not reinstate this guards regiment.〔Sachsens-Militär-Vereinskalender 1915 p. 82〕
