The Landwehr made up the bulk of the Prussian troops after 1813. Many infantry and cavalry regiments were raised. The biggest proportion of Landwehr came from the Silesian part of the Kingdom of Prussia, they had yellow facings on their uniform.
They were militia troops with questionable fighting qualities, but many battalions gained significant combat experience during the War of German Liberation and later on until 1815. The main part of the unirform was the litewka, a national attire of the time. It was Prussian blue, but not standardized.
