    Born 1874

    Sekonde-Lieutenant 4.3.1895 in Bavarian Inf Rgt 20, where he still was when the World War started

    Oberleutnant 9.3.1904

    Hauptmann 28.10.1909

    Major 19.5.16

    charakterisiert Oberstleutnant aD

    His only pre-war award was the 1905 Luitpold army jubilee medal.

    By April 1916 he is shown with BMV4X and EK2.

    Received Crown to his BMV4X on 8.8.18 (obviously had an EK1 by then) and would have acquired a Bavarian army XXIV Years Service Cross in 1916. No awards gazetted in the Personal Nachrichten to him from other German states or the Central Powers by December 1917.

    The Honor Rank List shows no staff service for him. (Its deficiencies are more and more obvious, alas.)

    Since he was only 61 in 1935, chances are he had run afoul of either some provision of the "Aryan paragraphs" or had otherwise politically offended the Nazis and been shoved out in the 1934/35 civil service purge.
