Plan der Belagerung von Kaiserswerth durch die Alliierten, 1702 by A.F. Pauli The plan presents Allied troops after 11 of June (Hessichen Staatsarchiv Marburg, link) |
According to Jany's "Geschichte..." Prussian troops were under General von Heiden command. "Feldzuge..." mentions Prinz Leopold von Anhalt-Dessau.
Prussian infantry (10 regiments, 12 battalions): Prinz Philipp (2), Prinz Albrecht (1), Prinz Christian Ludwig (2), Lottum (1), Anhalt-Dessau (1), Anhalt-Zerbst (1), Varenne (1), Schlabern dorff (1), Endow (1), Canitz (1)
Prussian cavalry (6 regiments, 14 squadrons): Prinz Philipp (3), Barfus (3), Heiden (2), Bayreth (2), Schonning (2), l’Ostange (2)
Prussians had 12 cannons (evidently regimental)
Also Franconian foot regiment Janus von Eberstedt presented at the siege.
Brief description of the siege is available here (link). Later additional Imperial troops joined the siege. 6 Hessen-Kasel battalions arrived on 11 June: Grenadiers, Leib, Lowenstein, Erbprinz, Schepping, Du Mont. Finally Nassau-Saarbrucken had 39 battalions & 28 squadrons with 80 cannons & 20 mortars.
Allies made an unsuccessful assault on 9 of June. Dutch troops lost 24 officers & 464 other ranks killed, wounded 136 & 1311. Prussians lost 19 officers & 108 other ranks killed, wounded - 14 & 180.
On 15 of June 1702 Blainville agreed to capitulate on the terms of free passage. The garrison left the fortress with 2 cannons & 2 mortars.
I am quite curious about your sources, do have the one from Het Staatsche Leger bij Dr J.W. Wijn, Vol.8, part 1, pages 686? He has a slightly larger list of regiments present
