The 4th (Prussian-Saxon) Artillery Regiment was formed on January 1, 1921 in Dresden.

On October 15, 1935, the regiment was renamed Artillerie-Regiment 4.

On August 15, 1940, the regiment was motorized and thereafter designated Artillerie-Regiment (motorized) 4. At the same time the regiment was also restructured. The newly organized regiment was now subordinated to the 14th Panzer Division.

In 1942 the regiment was renamed Panzer-Artillerie-Regiment 4 . The regiment was upgraded to include a self-propelled flak battery (Flak Panzer Wirbelwind or possibly a SdKfz 7/1 mit 2cm Flakvierling 38), 2 self-propelled batteries (105mm leFH SdKfz 124 Wespe) and 2 self-propelled batteries (150mm sFH SdKfz 165 Hummel)

In January 1943, the regiment was destroyed in the Stalingrad pocket.
