The two duchies Schleswig and Holstein belonged militarily speaking until 1864 to Denmark. In 1867 the duchies became Prussian provinces. Military records can be in the State Archive in Copenhagen, in the Landesarchiv Schleswig-Holstein in Gottorf and for certain time frames records can be found in the Niedersächsische Staatsarchiv of Oldenburg/Oldenburg. Generally speaking, it is easier to find officers in military records for Schleswig-Holstein than it is to find soldiers of lesser rank. | The two duchies Schleswig and Holstein belonged militarily speaking until 1864 to Denmark.
