The Zieten Hussars,, last designation: "Hussars Regiment 'von Zieten' (Brandenburg) No. 3", was a hussar regiment of the Prussian Army and later the Imperial German Army, founded in 1730 and named after its first Colonel, Hans Joachim von Zieten.
Hans Joachim von Zieten's Zieten-Hussars shadowed the Austrian army, keeping Frederick informed of their movements and position as he awaited the right moment to strike. When the Prince finally did cross in early June, Frederick saw his opportunity to attack.
In 1745, Zieten, at the head of 500 hussars, led the now legendary Zietenritt, a 22-hours long ride behind enemy lines with the object of delivering the king's order to General Markgraf von Schwedt at Jägerndorf (?) in Upper-Silesia.
He joined his father’s hussar regiment as a cadet in 1785, but first experience of combat was in the Revolutionary Wars. Zieten then fought at Auerstaedt in 1806 and in many major battles of the Befreiungskreige (Wars of Liberation), distinguishing himself particularly at Leipzig in October 1813.
To mark the occasion, he was appointed colonel of the 3rd Zieten Hussars, a regiment of the Imperial German Army. From 1904, he served as its colonel-in-chief and in 1906 he was appointed a field marshal in the German Army.
