34th Division (German Empire)

[3] The division was disbanded in 1919 during the demobilization of the German Army after World War I.

The division was recruited heavily in the densely populated Rhine Province and in the Province of Westphalia, as its primary recruiting and garrison area was Lorraine,[4] whose German population was insufficient to support the divisions of the XVI Army Corps.

The 34th Infantry Division fought on the Western Front in World War I.

It participated in the initial German offensive and the Allied Great Retreat.

Divisions received engineer companies and other support units from their higher headquarters.
