AFAIK, Landwehr Units, (Ldw) were introduced by Austria after the 1805 defeat, as a mesure to increase the army volume keeping low the recruitments and mobilitation costs.
....So Austrian Ldw should appear starting from 1809 scenario.
Prussian introduced Ldw service on the Austrian model only in 1813: first Ldw formations entered active service starting from Summer 1813.
Please confirm!

Austrian army article in the Encyclopedia of the Napoleonic Wars
For home defense, the eastern nobles were obliged to supply the manpower for Hungarian and Croatian insurrectio (untrained militia) battalions, which would prove largely ineffectual in combat in 1809. Stirrings of Germanic nationalism did prompt the war party and Archduke John to press for a similar institution in the western areas. In June 1808 the Landwehr (home defense militia) was established, intended to relieve regular troops from garrison and communications-protection duties. From these, Freiwillige battalions were raised in Vienna, Austria proper, Bohemia, and Moravia from men prepared to join the field armies.
Idem, but from the prussian army article
When Prussia changed sides in 1813 to join the Sixth Coalition against France, the reform plans mothballed during the French occupation were put into effect. On 9 February all exemptions under the Kantonsystem were abolished for the duration of the war, thereby making all able-bodied seventeen- to twenty-four-year-old males liable for being drafted. On 17 March the king founded the Landwehr (country defense), the aforementioned militia force that enlisted the nation’s manpower for the present war above the needs and beyond the organizational capacties of the regular army. Discharged veterans and Krümper were called up to expand the army to a strength (including Landwehr) of 130,000 by March 1813, and 270,000 by August. In the campaigns of 1813–1815, the Prussian Army consisted of almost one-half Landwehr and to an even larger degree of short-service recruits. Additionally, on 21 April 1813, the king authorized the Landsturm (literally, country storm; figuratively, last call-up, meaning a type of militia), a last line of defense composed of the fifteen- to sixty-year-old males not enlisted in the regular army or Landwehr. It was supposed to fight a guerrilla and scorched-earth war against any invader. The concept materialized only briefly and locally before it was largely abandoned, on 17 July 1813, as being too revolutionary.

Nikel's confirming my thesis........ 
Thanking him for searching........
That means extra fixing job for me!
to Pocus: I'll see to remane Ldw to depot battalions or town militias in scenarios before reported dates.
