History:

The history of the Tyrolean Fusiliers starts in 1323, when the national defence of Tyrol is set up. In 1917, the history of the Imperial Fusiliers begins and consequently also the history of the regiment of the Imperial Fusiliers number I.

In 1813, the fusiliers of the Tyrolean province are mentioned by name for the first time. On September 19, 1870, sanctioned by the Emperor, the Tyrolean Fusiliers become part of the national defence force and are divided into ten battalions. On Mai 1, 1893, these battalions are reconstructed and divided into three provincial fusiliers regiments.

This date marks the beginning of the first regiment's history. The provincial fusiliers regiment number I is being formed of several provincial fusiliers battalions: the number I "Unterland", the number II "Innsbruck/Wipptal", the number III "Oberinntal and the number X "Vorarlberg". Its regimental headquarters are in Innsbruck. With the military reform of 1901, the Innsbruck-based imperial and royal 88th provincial fusiliers brigade is set up, consisting of the provincial fusiliers regiments number I and number II.

The first regiment is renamed imperial and royal provincial fusiliers regiment number I.

In 1906, the regiment is being transferred to Trient to be trained and brought into action as frontier guards. From that time, this group is called imperial and royal provincial fusiliers regiment Trient number I.

At the beginning of the First World War in 1914, the regiment is being transferred to the eastern front. Their battlefields are at Przemyslany, Dunajew, Lelechowa, Magiera, Limanova, Pilica, Zaleszezyki, Eszernowitz, and in the Carpates.

When Italy joins the war in 1915, the regiment is being transferred to the southern front where the fusiliers are going into action, mainly at strategic points such as the "Ortler", the "Tonale Gardasee", the "Col di Lana", the "Monte Grappa", the "Ortigara", the "Fleimstal", the "Sieben Gemeinden", "Flitsch" and the "Isonzo".

On January 16, 1917, by order of His Majesty Charles 1st, the three provincial fusiliers regiments are renamed into Imperial Fusiliers regiments.

With the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in November 1918, involving the disbanding of the Imperial Fusiliers regiments, the military history of the regiment number I ends too.
