The 37th and 38th Mixed Landwehr Brigades were raised in the X Corps area (the Province of Hanover, the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg, and the Duchy of Brunswick).

During the war, most divisions became triangular - one infantry brigade with three infantry regiments rather than two infantry brigades of two regiments (a square division). In the case of Landwehr divisions, the mixed Landwehr brigades were converted to regular infantry brigades before being triangularized and were often used to form new units. The 1st Landwehr Division's order of battle on 15 January 1918 was as follows: 34th Landwehr Brigade Landwehr Infantry Regiment No. 31 Landwehr Infantry Regiment No. 33 Landwehr Infantry Regiment No. 84 3rd Squadron, Light Cavalry Regiment No. 12 Artillery Command 128 Field Artillery Regiment No. 96 Pioneer Battalion No. 401 1st Ersatz Company, Pioneer Battalion 'Prinz Radziwill' (East Prussian) No. 1 2nd Landwehr Pioneer Company/II Corps Trench Mortar Company No. 301 Divisional Signals Command 501 1st August 1914  Early actions 1914 and 1915 1st July 1916  Actions during 1916 -17 1st February 1918  Actions during 1918 If you can provide any additional information, please add it here.
