Le Königlich Bayerisches 2. Chevauleger-Regiment Taxis " est un des plus anciens régiments de cavalerie bavaroise; il fut créé en le 29 juin 1682 lors de la création de l'armée permanente par le jeune Electeur Bavarois( Kurfürsten) Maximilian II. Emanuel ("Der blaue König " ) Ce régiment fut commandé par Louis marquis de Beauvau de Croan " .Ce fut d'abord un régiment de cuirassiers , qui devint en 1790 un régiment de dragons , piur devenir en 1811 une régiment de Chevauleger régiment , passant aisni d e la cavalerie à la cavalerie légère
Dans son histoire le regiment a changé maintes fois de garnsions. vous allez trouver si apres les noms des diverses villes de garnisons: Dingolfing , Ried , Braunau , Ulm , Memmingen , Amberg , Wasserburg , Rosenheim , Neumarkt ok , Munich , Ingolstadt , Neuoetting , Landsberg , Speyer , Zweibrücken , Ansbach , Dillingen / Donau (1872 - 1909) et à partir de 1909 jusqu'à la dissolution Ratisbonne .
Depuis 1747 , le régiment reçoit le nom de " Taxis " ,car il est étroitement liée à la maison de Thurn et Taxis donc le prrince était un des chefs du régiment .
L'Électeur cré donc ce regiment en 1682 au camp à Schwabing , et en 1688 débute la guerre contre les Turcs en Hongrie suite au siège de Vienne . Le point culminant a été la prise de Belgrade par les troupes de l'électeur en 1688 ,qui sont les ordres de l'Empereur Léopold Ier. L'action des cuirassiers bavarois a été décisive.
Quand Louis XIV en 1689 ,envahit le Rhin Palatinat les troupes bavaroises sont retirés du Front Hongrois aisni que la majeure partie de l'armée bavaroise pour combattre sur le front de l'Ouest de 1689 à 1697
Apres une brève période de paix , durant laquelle le régiment a dû etre démonté pour abaisser les couts d'entretien commence en 1702 la Guerre de Succession d'Espagne qui voit la Baviere se ranger aux coté de la france contre les Alliés qui sont l'Empire et les puissances maritimes Angleterre et Hollande . Tout d'abord, l'armée Bavaroise remporte des succés en 1703 mais en 1704 , les troupes franco Bavoires subissent des reversé nottament à Blenheim . AinsiI l'elcteur doit abandonner sa progressionv ers les Pays pour revenir en centre Europe La guerre continue jusqu'en 1713 /1714.A cette époque la Bavière ne pouvant plkus fournir en nombre suffisant des soldats le régiment recrute de nombreux français et néerlandais
Apres la guerre le regiment retourne dans ses casernements bavarois et l'armée face aux problèmes fianciers subit des coupes sombres .
Durant cette premiere partie du XVIIIe siecle la Baviere va faire les frais de diverses campagnes militaires nottamement durant la guerre de sucession d'Autriche qui débute avec la mort de l'empereur Charles VI en 1740 sans postérité masculine
Monte sur le trone impérial sa fille Marie-Thérèse ,ce qui déclenche les revendications des divers grands électeurs sur les terres héréditaires autrichiennes. Karl Albrecht de Baviere même couronné Empereur comme Charles VII combat dans la guerre de Succession d'Autriche de 1741 jusqu'à sa mort prématurée en 1745 contre les Autrichiens . Le régiment prend part à cinq campagnes durant lesquelles on voit la Baviere passer de mains en mains
Le nouvel électeur Max III. Joseph conclut immédiatement la paix avec Marie-Thérèse et combat aux coté des troupes autrichiennes jusqu'en 1748 puis durant la guerre de Sept Ans , 1757-1762 .
