Biographical Essay (by Digby Smith)
Karl Joseph Graf Hadik von Futak was born in 1756 in Leutschau
(now Levoca in Slovenia) in Hungary. He was the son of FM
Andreas Graf Hadik, who had raided Berlin in the Seven Years
War. He entered Austrian military service in the cavalry
and was promoted to captain on 1 March 1766 and to Major
on 29 May 1779, in his father's Hussar Regiment. On 1 May
1784, he was promoted to Oberstleutnant. Hadik fought
in the War of the Bavarian Succession in 1779 and was distinguished
in the raid on Gebersdorf. He also fought in the wars against
the Turks in 1788/89 and was distinguished at Belgrade. In
July 1789, he was promoted to Oberst and made commander of
Hussar Regiment "Graf von Blankenstein" N°16.
In 1792 Count Hadik commanded his hussar regiment in the
Netherlands and on 29 September, forced the crossing of the
Sambre against superior forces. He fought in the Austrian
defeat at Jemappes on 6 November of that year. In 1793 he
again distinguished himself in the action at the crossing
of the Sambre. On 16 October 1793 he held up a far superior
French force all day on 16 October; for which he was promoted Generalmajor on
24 February 1794. The same year in April, he commanded a
cavalry brigade in (Baillet de) Latour's division of the
Prince of Orange's corps in the Netherlands. On 7 July 1794,
he was awarded the Military Maria Theresian Order (KC). In
1795 Hadik commanded a brigade in Clerfayt's Army of the
Lower Rhine, in Germany, and in 1796, he served in Erzherzog
Carl's Army of the Lower Rhine and fought at Wetzlar, Amberg,
Würzburg and Aschaffenburg. For his actions at Würzburg,
on 29 April 1797, he was awarded the Commander's Cross of
the MMTO. On 10 April 1797, Hadik received his promotion
to Feldmarschalleutnant. Early in 1800 he commanded
a division in Novara and fought at Cadibona, in the siege
of Genoa and at the battle of Novi on 15 August. He commanded
a corps (although still an FML) at Marengo, where he was
mortally wounded. He died on 24 July 1800 in Alessandria.

as a squadron commander. In 1800 he was at Freiburg on the
upper Rhine and he fought at Stockach, Engen, Mösskirch,
Biberach, Memmingen, Erbach, the Iller River, Ulm, Neuburg,
Deussenhausen, Vettenhausen and Deubach, where he was wounded.
On 4 July 1800 he was promoted to Major. On 10 December he
transferred to Dragoon Regiment (vacant) N°13 and was
then appointed Flügel-Adjutant to Erzherzog Ferdinand
in
Ödenburg.
In 1804 Hardegg received his promotion to Oberstleutnant in
the Hussar Regiment "Ott" N°5. He then transferred to
Uhlan Regiment "Schwarzenberg" N°2.
Already the following year he was promoted to Oberst and
given command of Uhlan Regiment N°2, but he then fell
ill until December 1805. In 1809 he was appointed commander
of the advance guard of FML Hennequin's division (three Jäger
Battalions and Uhlan Regiment N°2) and was distinguished
in the storm of Berchnig and at Aspern. The day after the
victorious battle he was promoted to Generalmajor and
given command of a brigade in II Army Corps at Wagram, where
he defended Baumersdorf village with seven battalions against
the repeated assaults of Prince Eugene, Marmont and Oudinot
and then formed the rearguard of the Austrian army from 6-11
July. For his distinguished service in the campaign of 1809
he he was awarded the Commander's Cross of the MMTO in April
1810.
In 1813 Count Ignaz Hardegg was initially commanding a brigade
in FML Moritz Liechtenstein's 1st Light Division. He was
then promoted to Feldmarschalleutnant on 2 September
and given command of a division in I Corps. He commanded
Bennigsen's advance guard of the Reserve Army of Poland,
until relieved by Russian troops. He then made a forced march
to arrive on the battlefield of Leipzig at dawn on 18 October.
As he led the advance guard of the left wing (Prince Hessen-Homburg)
Hardegg was seriously wounded at Dölitz. For these actions,
he was awarded the Russian Order of St. George 3rd cl. and
appointed 2nd Proprietor of the Cuirassier Regiment N°8.
After his recovery he returned to the army and fought at
Nogent-sur-Seine on 10/11 February, against GdD Louis-Auguste-Victor
Bourmont Comte de Ghaisnes. On 15 February 1814, he stormed
Moret village. After the battle of Montereau his division
was sent to the Army of the South at Dijon against Augereau.
On 3 March, he occupied Chalons and on 11 March Bourg-en-Bresse.
From 18-30 March, he fought around Lyons. In 1815 he accompanied
the Russian Czar Alexander I.
In 1829 Count Hardegg was appointed Military Commander in
Linz and in November 1830 appointed Commanding General in
Transylvania together with the appointment to Privy Councillor.
After the death of Grand Duke Constantin of Russia he was
awarded the proprietorship of the Cuirassier Regiment N°8
(September 1831). At the end of that year Ignaz Graf Hardegg
was promoted to General of Cavalry and Vice President of
the Aulic War Council. Three years later he became President
of this highest military office. In 1836 Emperor Ferdinand
I. awarded him the Order of the Golden Fleece. Hardegg died
on 17 February 1848 in Vienna.

Biographical
Essay (by Digby Smith)
Johann Peter Karl Graf Hennequin von Fresnel und Curel was
born in France in 1762. After the French Revolution he entered
Austrian military service (1793) with the rank of colonel.
On 27 September 1799, he was promoted to Generalmajor.
In 1800 he commanded a brigade in Schwarzenberg's division
of the Right Wing in the battle of Hohenlinden (3 December).
In 1805, Count Hennequin was in Schwarzenberg's Avantgarde,
under FML Klenau, commanding a grenadier brigade. On 1 January
1807, he was promoted to Feldmarschelleutnant. In
1809 he commanded an infantry division in Bellegarde's I
Army Corps at Aspern, Wagram and Znaim. During the campaign
of 1813/14 he served in the main army and fought at Arcis-sur-Aube
on 20-21 March, where the Austrians defeated Napoleon. On
21 January 1817 Hennequin received promotion to General
der Kavallerie. He died on 25 February 1831 in Galicia.

Essay (by Digby Smith)
Friedrich Joseph Ludwig Karl August Erbprinz zu Hessen-Homburg
was born on 30 July 1769 in Homburg vor der Höhe, in
Hesse. He entered Austrian military service in April 1789
as Captain in the Infantry Regiment "Stain" N°50. He
fought in the war with Turkey (1788-90) and was very distinguished
on 26 June 1790 at Kalefat. Although his battalion was not
designated for the assault, he asked FZM Clerfayt if he could
take part and volunteered to lead a charge by two squadrons
of Hussar Regiment "Toskana" which drove the Turks back to
the Danube. For this, he was awarded the Knight's Cross of
the Military Maria Theresian Order on 19 December 1790 and
promoted to Major in Chevauxleger Regiment
"Levenehr" N°19. In May 1792, he was promoted to Oberstleutnant in
the Cuirassier Regiment "Hohenzollern" N°4. On 2 December 1793, he was
distinguished at Dangendorf together with LtCol Klenau and at Neuburg. In 1794
Prince Friedrich received his promotion to Oberst in Chevauxleger Regiment
"Modena" N°13. On 14 September 1796, he was wounded at Neuburg. Soon afterwards,
he led his regiment into action again at the battle of Biberach on 2 October
and at Schliengen on 24 October. Shortly after the end of the First Coalition
War (1797) he was promoted to Major General.
In March 1799 the prince was given command of a cavalry brigade
in Erzherzog Carl's army in Swabia. On 25 March of this year,
he fought in the battle of Stockach. The following year Prince
Friedrich received his promotion to FML and commanded a division
in the center at the defeat in the battle of Hohenlinden
on 3 December.
In the campaign of 1805 he commanded a cavalry division in
Riesch's corps of Mack's main army. On 14 October, he fought
at Elchingen against Marshal Ney and was wounded at the Danube
bridge. He was taken to Ulm, where he was then captured in
the capitulation of that place on 15 October. Like all senior
officers, he was released on parole.
In the 1809 campaign, Prince Friedrich again commanded a
Cuirassier division, this time in Liechtenstein's Cavalry
Reserve Corps. He fought at Aspern and at Wagram. In the
latter battle, he was distinguished in the defence of Aderklaa.
On 26 July 1813 he was promoted to GoC and appointed commander
of the Reserve Corps of the Army of Bohemia. He fought at
Dresden, in the centre, between Plauen and Strehla. On 16
October, at Leipzig, he was distinguished on the left wing.
On 18 October he was the commander of the 1st Column (40,000
men); he stormed Dölitz (where he was wounded) and Lössnig.
He then advanced to Connewitz. For this he was awarded the
Commander's Cross of the MMTO on 30 October. On 29 December
1813 the prince was the commander of the 5th Column in the
Rhine crossing at Schaffhausen. He occupied Berne and blockaded
Auxonne. In 1814 he fought at St Georges, Longsard, Dorieux
and pushed Marshal Augereau back on Lyon. On 20 March, he
took the key mountain post of Dardille and entered Lyon.
On 11 April 1814, Prince Friedrich signed an armistice with
Marshal Augereau. In 1815, he again commanded the reserve
of the Austrian army on the upper Rhine. In 1820 he resigned
from the Austrian army to rule the landgraviate of Hessen-Homburg,
where he died on 2 April 1829.

he was appointed Commanding General in Galicia. Next year
he served in the war between Russia and Turkey. Hessen-Homburg
was sent to St Petersburg as Austrian ambassador and was
awarded the Order of the White Eagle and a sword of honour
from the Czar. From 1829 to 1839 he was again Commanding
General in Inner Austria and the Tyrol. On 6 June 1832 Prince
Philipp received his promotion to Feldzeugmeister.
After the death of his brother he was forced to return to
Hessen-Homburg to rule that landgraviate. Beside he was appointed

I. promoted him to Field Marshal on 28 November 1846.

Biographical
Essay (by Digby Smith)
Johann Karl von Hiller was born Modena in 1748. He was the
son of a nobleman and entered Austrian military service in
1770 in Iinfantry Regiment
"Sachsen-Hildburghausen" N°8, as a cadet. In that same year, he transferred
to Dragoon Regiment N°38 "Karl Eugen von Württemberg", as a lieutenant.
In 1771, Hiller transferred back into the infantry and in 1774, he bought himself
a captaincy in Grenz Infantry Regiment N°5 "Warasdiner-Kreuzer", under
"questionable circumstances". He fought in the wars against the Turks in 1788/89
and was awarded the Military Maria Theresian Order (KC) on 15 November of that
year, as an Oberstleutnant, for his active defence of the Croatian border.
In the next year, he was created a Freiherr (baron) and was promoted
to Oberst for his participation in the capture of Berbir in 1789. Until
his death in 1790, Hiller enjoyed the patronage of FM Graf Loudon. On 24 February
1794 Hiller was promoted to Generalmajor and appointed General-Kriegskommissär of
the army in Italy, responsible for the provision of supplies for the army.
His ruthless pursuit of his career brought him many enemies in the army.
In 1796, he fell foul of his new commander, FZM Graf Oliver
Wallis, and was sent to serve under FZM Baillet de Latour
in the Army of the Upper Rhine as GM of infantry. Here, he
found favour with Erzherzog Carl, but a new adversary in
the person on Carl's Adlatus, FML Graf von Bellegarde, who
would play a crucial role in Hiller's downfall in 1813. Hiller
fought in the battle of Würzburg as brigade commander.
Following this campaign, he had to retire due to grounds
of ill health. He returned to duty in 1798 and in 1799, he
commanded a division in the Vorarlberg Corps, again under
Erzherzog Carl. Hiller fought in the 1st battle of Zürich
on 4 June and was badly wounded in the knee in the assault
on the Mount Zürich redoubts.
On 6 March 1800, he was promoted to Feldmarschalleutnant and
he served in the defence of the Tyrol. In 1801, he was appointed
(briefly) commander in Agram (Zagreb) and 2nd Colonel Proprietor
of Infantry Regiment N°2 "Erzherzog Ferdinand Karl".
Later that year, he was posted to Innsbruck as military commander
of the Tyrol and Vorarlberg.
In 1805 Hiller was charged with the defence of the south
Tyrol. In 1807, he returned to command the Karstädter-Warasdiner border
area. Here, he fell out badly with his old patron, Erzherzog
Carl, over the policy adopted in these areas.
In 1809 he was still FML and Commanding General of the VI
Corps in southern Germany, the only corps commander not of
high nobility status. He was soundly defeated at Landshut
on 21 April by Napoleon. Hiller defeated Marshall Bessières
and the Bavarian General von Wrede at Neumarkt an der Rott
on 24 April, which earned him the Commander's Cross of the
MMTO. At the battle of Aspern, his corps was on the far right
wing of the army. Although Marshall Massena tried everthing
to hold the little village of Aspern Hiller finally threw
him out and occupied the village. Immediately after the battle,
Hiller was all for attacking the French on Lobau island,
but this was rejected by Erzherzog Carl. There was now considerable
bitterness between Hiller and the Erzherzog. On 4 July 1809 – one
day beforde the battle of Wagram - Hiller asked to be relieved
of his command. His wish was granted immediately. For his
distinguished service at Aspern he was promoted to FZM on
3 August 1809 and returned to command the military border
area.
In 1813, he commanded the Army of Inner Austria and went
into Italy, to repossess Illyria and Venice. On 19 November
1813, he clashed with Prince Eugene's rearguard (GdD Comte
Paul Grenier's division) at San Michele and successfully
defeated it. His failure to defeat Prince Eugene soundly
enough, caused him to be removed from his command.
In 1814 Hiller was appointed Commanding General of Siebenbürgen
(Transylvania) and also Colonel Proprietor of the Infantry
Regiment N°53. He died in 1819, as Commanding General
in Galicia, in Lemberg on 5 June.

Biographical
Essay (by Digby Smith)
Born on 18 August 1765 in Bartenstein, in south west Germany
the prince entered military service in the French Emigré Corps,
Legion Mirabeau, on the upper Rhine in 1792. He quickly became
a Colonel in the cavalry. He then transferred to Dutch service,
where he was distinguished in the defence of Bommel Island
at the end of 1794. Prince Ludwig Alois then entered Austrian
service when Holland fell under French influence. On 12 July
1797, he was appointed 2nd Colonel in Infantry Regiment Kerpen
N°49 and fought under Erzherzog Carl until 1799, when
he retired.
He returned to Austrian service on 24 September 1799 as a
Major General and was given command of a brigade in the Defensive
Army. In 1803, he was appointed Proprietor of the Infantry
Regiment N°26, which post he held until 1814.
He fought in the 1805 campaign, commanding a brigade of grenadiers
in Italy, including the battle of Caldiero, 29-31 October,
where he was distinguished.
On 22 February 1806 he was promoted to Feldmarschalleutnant and
in 1807 he was appointed Governor of Galicia and refused
Napoleon's order to enter the armed forces of the Confederation
of the Rhine to which his principality belonged.
In 1809 he was commander of a division in Orsini's IV Corps
and fought at Aspern and Wagram and retired at the end of
the campaign. In 1813 he re-entered Austrian service and
was distinguished in the defence of Seiffertshain, Leipzig,
on 18 October of that year. He thence went on to the blockade
of Dresden.
In 1814 he fought in the allied victory at La Ferté-sur-Aube
on 28 February. Later the prince occupied Troyes and became
governor of the town. He was also engaged at Arcis-sur-Aube
on 20-21 March, where the Austrians defeated Napoleon. On
29 April 1814, he was promoted to Feldzeugmeister.
He retired on 17 July 1816 and took service in France under
the Bourbons as Lieutenant General in the German Legion which
bore his name. In 1823 he was commander of the French army
sent against Spain. In 1827 Prince Ludwig Alois was promoted
to Marshal of France, appointed Peer of France and Inspector
General of Cavalry. When he died (on 31 May 1829) he did
not leave enough to cover the costs of his funeral.

Friedrich Karl Wilhelm Fürst zu Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen
(born in Ingelfingen, southwest Germany, on 16 February 1752)
entered Austrian military service in the Cuirassiers in 1772.
In 1781, he was a major in Dragoon Regiment N°39 "Waldeck",
which unit he commanded as Colonel in the wars against the
Turks in 1788/89.
In 1793 he served in the Army of the Upper Rhine, under GdK
Graf Wurmser. In 1794 he fought on the Rhine, under FZM Hohenlohe-Kirchberg
and was distinguished in the actions at Kaiserslautern (20
September) and Oggersheim (9 October). On 11 October of that
year Prince Friedrich was promoted to Major General. In 1795
the prince took part in the successful assault on Mainz (29
October) and was victorious in the action at Bacharach (17
December). In 1796 he served in Germany under Erzherzog Carl
and was at the battle of Würzburg as a cavalry brigade
commander.
In 1799, the prince fought on the Rhine as a brigade commander
in FML Graf von Riesch's cavalry division and was distinguished
in the battle of Stockach, on 25-26 March, when his Cuirassiers
overthrew GdD Jean-Joseph-Ange Hautpoule's cavalry division.
On 3 November, on his own initiative, he attacked the French
under Ney at Löchgau-Erligheim on the River Enz and
inflicted a smart defeat on them. This victory caused the
French under Lecourbe, to lift the siege of the fortress
of Philippsburg. For this action he won the Knight's Cross
of the Military Maria Theresian Order on 21 November 1799.
On 2-3 December 1799, he commanded the 3rd Assault Column
under FML Graf von Sztaray, in the victory at Wiesloch over
Lecourbe's troops. On 6 March 1800 he was promoted to Feldmarschalleutnant and
commanded a cavalry division in the Centre at the defeat
in the battle of Hohenlinden on 3 December. In 1801 he was
made Proprietor of Dragoon Regiment N°7. In December
1805 Prince Friedrich Karl commanded the Austrian cavalry
in Prinz Johann von Liechtenstein's 5th Column at Austerlitz.
He retired in December 1809 and died on 16 June 1815 in Kaschau,
in Hungary (today: Slovakia).

Biographical
Essay (by Digby Smith)
Friedrich Fürst zu Hohenlohe-Kirchberg was born on 3
December 1732 in Kirchberg. His Austrian military career
began when he joined the Infantry Regiment N°29 "Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel".
He fought in the Seven Years War as a captain of grenadiers
and was wounded in the battle of Leuthen (5 December 1757)
and again at Landshut on 23 June 1760, where he stormed three
Prussian redoubts. For this he won the Knight's Cross of
the Military Maria Theresian Order on 22 December 1761. The
prince married the Countess Friederike of Reuss-Greitz in
1770, the same year in which he received his promotion to
Major General. Prince Friedrich Wilhelm took part in the
War of the Bavarian Succession (1778-79). In 1780, he became
Colonel-Proprietor of Infantry Regiment N°17. Three years
later, he was promoted to Feldmarschalleutnant. As
division commander the prince fought in the wars with the
Turks from 1787-92. On 7-8 October 1789, he beat the Turks
in the battle of Persenji, Wallachia. For this he received
the Commander's Cross of the MMTO. On 15 October 1789, he
was promoted to Feldzeugmeister and appointed to Commanding
General in Transylvania (Siebenbürgen).
In 1792, he was given command of all available Austrian troops
(50,000 men) on the upper Rhine. On 2 August 1792, in concert
with the advance of the Austrian main body under the Herzog
von Braunschweig, he crossed the Rhine at Mannheim and advanced
on the fortress of Thionville on the River Moselle. Following
an unsuccessful bombardment of the place from 3-5 September,
Hohenlohe-Kirchberg's corps (together with the Hessians and
the French émigre corps) was sent off to Clermont
on the Verdun–Chalons road, to cover the southern flank
of the Prussian advance on Valmy. Following the fiasco there,
he withdrew eastwards and adopted a defensive position behind
the Moselle. From 4-7 December, he was able to defend Trier
on that river from the attacks of GdD Pierre de Riel Beurnonville's
Armée de la Moselle. Beurnonville was sacked for his
failure. On 31 December 1792, Hohenlohe-Kirchberg was awarded
the Grand Cross of The MMTO. At the end of that year, Hohenlohe-Kirchberg's
corps was in Luxemburg, and on 23 May 1793, he played a decisive
part in the allied victory at Famars. In the last months
of 1793, and until May 1794, he acted as General Quarter
Master (Chief of Staff) to the main allied army in Flanders
under FM Prinz von Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld. Hohenlohe-Kirchberg
was responsible for the French defeat of Avesnes-le-Sec on
12 September 1793. In 1794, he commanded a corps on the upper
Rhine and was responsible for the recapture of Speyer on
17 September. His failing health forced him then to retire.
He died on 10 August 1796 of a high fever in Prague.

Biographical
Essay (by Digby Smith)
Friedrich Franz Fürst zu Hohenzollern-Hechingen was
born on 31 May 1757, in Gheule castle, near Maastricht. He
entered Dutch military service in 1775, but transferred to
Austrian service in the 4th Cuirassiers "Friedrich Anton
Fürst von Hohenzollern-Hechingen", his uncle's regiment,
in 1776. He fought in the War of the Bavarian Succession
and in the wars against the Turks. In autumn of 1789, he
was distinguished in the siege of Belgrade. The next year
the prince was promoted to Oberstleutnant and in 1793,
to Oberst. That year he fought in many engagements in Flanders,
including Neerwinden (18 March), Leuven (23 March) and Wattignies
(15-16 October). In 1794 he was also often in action, particularly
at the sieges of Landrecies and Charleroi. In 1795 his regiment
was initially at Mainz, later with the Army of the Upper
Rhine. On 4 March 1796 Prince Friedrich Franz was promoted
Major General and served in Italy as General of Command of
Allvinczy's Avantgarde in his Corps of the Friaul. He was
involved in the attempted relief of Mantua and fought at
Castiglione on 5 August, where the attempted relief failed.
He also fought in the next Austrian defeat at St. Giorgio
on 15 September and was then forced to take refuge in Mantua.
He then fought in the garrison's sortie from La Favorita
on 16 January. On 29 April 1797, the prince was awarded the
Knight's Cross of the Military Maria Theresian Order.
In the wars of the Second Coalition (1799-1801) Prince Friedrich
Franz again fought in Italy and was repeatedly distinguished,
as in the battle of Magnano (5 April 1799), the Trebbia River
(17-20 June 1799), Novi (15 August 1799). He was also beaten
by Marshal Macdonald at Modena on 12 June of that year. After
this campaign, he was promoted to Feldmarschalleutnant.
In 1800, he fought in the siege of Genoa (La Boccetta, 9
April, Sassello, 10 April, Monte Creto, 13 May); he then
commanded Genoa from 4-14 June. In the winter of 1800, he
fought at the Mincio River on 25-26 December and was again
distinguished.
In 1805, he commanded a division in Werneck's corps in Swabia.
On 13 October, he left Ulm with his division, escaped from
the capitulation of Trochtelfingen and saved his command.
On 19 October, he joined up with Erzherzog Ferdinand's group
at Gunzenhausen and reached Bohemia. At the end of the year,
he clashed with the Bavarians at Wonau (2 December) and Stecken
(5 December), scoring up more victories, even if minor.
In 1809, he took over the command of the III Corps, with
which he fought at Hausen and Thann on 19 April and at Eggmühl
on 22 April. At Aspern and Wagram, he commanded the II Corps,
with distinction. On 3 August 1809, he was promoted to General
of Cavalry. From 14 October (November ?), he was appointed
Commanding General in Inner Austria, with his GHQ in Graz.
In 1812 he was given command of the Austrian Reserve Corps
in Galicia.
In the spring of 1813, Prince Friedrich Franz was sent back
to Graz to organize the raising of new troops, to guard against
enemy invasion from Italy. In 1815, he was given command
of the II Austrian Corps under Schwarzenberg; he then returned
to Graz after the campaign.
In 1825 he was appointed President of the Aulic War Council
(Hofkriegsrat) and five years later (18 September
1830) the prince received his promotion to Field Marshal.
He then retired and died on 6 April 1844 in Vienna.

Biographical
Essay (by Digby Smith)
Johann Conrad Hotz, called Friedrich Hotze, son of a doctor
and surgeon in Hessian service, was born on 20 April 1739,
in Richterswil, in the Swiss Canton of Zürich; In October
1758, he entered the Württemberg Cuirassier Regiment
"Phull". In 1761, he was promoted to captain. The problems that the Duke of
Württemberg had with his nobles led to constant shortages of funds for
the military, which left many officers, including Hotze, without pay. He turned
to Prussia, but the end of the Seven Years War meant that his services were
not required. He returned home, then took Russian service in May 1768, under
Czarina Katherina II, as a lieutenant in the Ingermannland Dragoons. He saw
plenty of action, mainly in Prince Rumjancev's division, which was fighting
the Turks in Wallachia. There he was wounded in a failed assault on Giurgiu,
Romania. Hotze then served under Suvorov and rose to be a major. This Russo-Turkish
war was ended by the Peace of Kütschük Kainardschi in 1776. Hotze
returned to Switzerland. On the way, he had an audience with Emperor Joseph
II, who promised him a position as major in the Austrian army. In 1777, the
emperor travelled through Hüningen, on the upper Rhine and Hotze again
approached him. Two years later, Hotze was appointed Major in Cuirassier Regiment
N°26 "Berlichingen". He was mobilised for the War of the Bavarian Succession,
but saw no action. Shortly after this, Hotze transferred to Cuirassier Regiment "Voghera" N°27.
In 1784, Hotze was promoted to Oberstleutnant and given command of the
1st Galician Uhlan Corps, which later became the Uhlan Regiment N°1 in
the Austrian army. It was Hotze who introduced the lance into Austrian service.
The emperor was so pleased with Hotze`s performance, that he appointed him
commander of the new regiment, in the rank of Oberst (1786). In 1787,
he was posted to Cuirassier Regiment N°4. He was then sent by Emperor Joseph
II back to Russia, to help organizing the Russian cuirassier regiments for
Katherina II. His regiment did not fight in the wars with the Turks.
In 1792, his regiment was in the Breisgau in Esterházy's
corps. In spring 1793, they were posted to GdK Graf Wurmser's
army on the upper Rhine. Hotze was now promoted to Generalmajor.
In the storming of the Weissenburg lines on 13 October, Hotze
commanded the 3rd Column, which contributed to the victory.
For this, he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Military
Maria Theresian Order on 25 October of that same year. On
22 December 1793, his command was scattered by a heavy French
assault on the Liebfrauenberg and had to fall back over the
Rhine.
In 1794, he fought in Hohenlohe-Kirchberg's corps on the
upper Rhine. He fought at Heiligenstein, Schweigenheim, Westheim,
Landau, on the River Queich, at Schifferstadt, Neuhof and
Oberholzheim, against GdD Louis-Charles-Antoine Desaix's
corps of the Armée de la Moselle. The next year, he
again fought under Wurmser, at Edighofen and Kaiserslautern.
For his careful conduct in the last campaigns, he was promoted
to Feldmarschalleutnant in March 1796.
In 1796, Hotze was involved in all major actions in southern
Germany under Erzherzog Carl. He commanded the advance guard
in the battle of Malsch (9 July), held up the French for
several hours in the battle of Cannstadt (21-22 July), commanded
the centre at the battle of Neresheim (11 August) and held
the field. He was also distinguished in the actions of Neumarkt
and Lauf and in the battle of Würzburg. On 29 April
1797, he was awarded the Commander's Cross of the MMTO.
He was now called home to Switzerland to take command of
the troops there, trying to fend off the depredations of
the French Revolutionay armies. Unfortunately, he arrived
only at the time of their defeat at Aarwangen. The new Swiss
government deprived him of his citizenship, for consorting
with the Swiss government in exile. It was Hotze's efforts
that caused the Canton of Graubünden to call upon Austria
for help against the French. Hotze was sent to that province
when hostilities broke out in 1799. He defended Feldkirch
against Massena's troops on 7 and on 22-23 March, recaptured
the St Luziensteig fortress on 6 May, then, together with
Erzherzog Carl, he defeated Massena at Winterthur on 27 May.
In the 1st battle of Zürich (4 June) he commanded the
left wing; although wounded in the left arm, he forced the
French to withdraw. Hotze was again appointed commander of
the Vorarlberg Corps in August 1799 and was killed whilst
on a reconnaissance ride on 25 September in the second battle
of Zürich. The confusion in the Austrian command following
his death, was largely responsible for them allowing Soult's
division to cross the River Linth unopposed and to roll up
the Austrian corps that day.
