The valor of the Black Troop is commemorated in Theodor Körner's poem "Lützows wilde, verwegene Jagd" ("Lützow's wild, daring hunt"). As Lützow's adjutant, he met his death at the Battle of Gadebusch. Among other notable members of the corps were Friedrich Fröbel and Friedrich Ludwig Jahn. This incident was portrayed in the 1927 film "Lützow's Wild Hunt" directed by Richard Oswald.
