A. Schaumann, please help with his data

[dedehansen]

Hi gents,

I am looking for the personal and military data from A. Schumann.

What I know for sure is that he was an officer who served:

Schleswig - Holstein 1848 - 1851, not sure if he served the whole time

Hannover 1866 

Prussian army 1870 / 71

I found a Rittmeister Schumann from Dragoner Regiment 2 Schleswig Holstein Army,

but there is no first name, so I am not sure if it is him.

Every help highly esteemed.

Kind regards
Andreas

Andreas,

After I posted my response, I noticed that you have his name as Schaumnn in the title but not in the body of the message, so, now I am convince this is your man.

 

There was no officer named Schumann in the Hannovarian army in 1866 as far as I can tell, nor was there an officer in the Prussian army 1871 named Schumann who served with another contingent prior to 1866.

There was a Hannoverian Rittm. Adolf Carl Freidrich Schaumann who entered the Prussian army after Hannover's defeat.  I can't find any connection to the Schleswig Holsetein army, but, his last assignment might be a clue that he is your man.  This is Schaumann's career from 1866:

Adolph Carl Friedrich Schaumann  (*13.06.1822  †12.04.1903)

1904   listed in the DOA event hough he had already died

1897                                  living as an  Oberstlt. z.D., in Hannover

19.04.73-14.07.85             Kom. d. Landw. Bez. Rendsburg  (II./Landw. R. 85)

12.12.71-19.04.73             b. St. d. Hus. R. 5

1867-12.12.71                    aggr. d. Ulan. R. 16 u. dann Esk. Chef im Ulan. R. 16

1866                                       hann. Garde Hus. R., Reg. Quartiermeister

Orden 1885  PRAO4  PKrO3  PDK  HG3  MMV2

Orden 1871:  PDK  HG3  MMV2

 Oberstlt.  14-08-75 (Charakter)  Major    21-10-69  Rittm.    20-06-59  Pr.Lt.     23-10-46  Sek.Lt.  12-01-38

I think this officer is a strong candidate!

Hi Andy,

I would love to believe you, but the A. Schaumann I am

looking for, has only these medals:

Dienstauszeichnungskreuz Preußen

Kriegsdenkmünze 1870 / 71 Kämpfer

Langensalza - Medaille

Erinnerungskreuz an die schleswig - holsteinische Armee 1848 / 49

Maybe there is an other A. Schaumann out there?

Thanks
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

have you tried the Landesarchiv in Schleswig? They seem to have documents from that time and occasion.

Also there was the  Staats-Handbuch für die Herzogthümer Schleswig-Holstein. I didn´t find his name in the 1849 edition, though.

Andreas,

Well, at least you can discount this one.  

As a general statement, it would be quite helpful if future posts requesting identifications and such include all known information- such as awards in this case. Knowing this would have helped eliminate this Schaumann immediately.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Gents,

sorry Andy, as I already have written, that I have found only one

Rittmeister Schumann who served as Rittmeister with the

schleswig - holsteinische Armee 1848 / 49, I thought this

was the key message.

Hi GreyC,

here is the scource I talked about:

maybe this is from interest?!

Kind regards
