The Waffenring der Deutschen Kavallerie was founded in 1928. Patron was the imperial Field Marshal August von Mackensen. From 1931, the association held annual so-called arms days. The official organ of the Waffenring der Deutschen Kavallerie was the newspaper „Deutsche Reiter Zeitung“. The first cavalry day took place in Dresden in 1931. In 1933 the chairman was Th. Schröder. At that time, the Waffenring had around 550 clubs with around 52,000 members. Further weapons days took place in Düsseldorf in 1933, in Hamburg in 1935 and in Breslau in 1936.
