After their joining with the Allies, the principalities were again required to engage in action. The Lippe Princes raised new troops and, as others German rulers, called from November 1813 to volunteers to raise a Landwehr. The Lippe troops were organised with the Waldeck troops into the Waldeck- Lippe regiment.
This regiment had a line battalion (3 Detmold, 1 Schaumburg and 2 Waldeck companies), a Landwehr battalion (2 Detmold, 1 Waldeck and 1 mixed Schaumburg-Waldeck companies) and a Freiwillige Jäger company. The organisation is completed in February 1814 but this regiment did not take part in any action.
