Kriegsmarine Admiral Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Can someone help with this abbreviation of the Kronen-Orden? Pr. Kronen-O. 2. Kl., Schwerter u. Stern m.Schw. z. "Prussian Order of the Crown 2nd Class with Swords and Star ..." What does the part "m.Schw. z." mean? The recipient of this award was Char. Vizeadmiral Alfred Begas upon his retirement.

I was unable to find out because that order is listed as "HSH" in the Rangliste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Krause Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 The abbreviations are partly different over the years and in various sources. EH, HSEH, HSH... Best, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I don't think any other Imperial German decoration had as many different abbreviations in the official sources than the Herzoglich Sachsen-Ernestinischer Haus-Orden. To elaborate on what Daniel said: • HSH: Prussian Army and Imperial Navy / Reichsmarine rank lists, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Reuß j.L. court and state handbooks, Siekmann's Rangliste der Beamten der Militärverwaltung. • EH: Reichsheer ranklists. • SEH: Saxon and Bavarian rank lists, Bavarian, Saxon and Baden court and state handbooks. • HSäH: Handbuch für das deutsche Reich, Deutscher Ordens-Almanach. • HSEH: The Prussian, Württemberg , Hessen, Braunschweig and Schaumburg-Lippe court and state handbooks. • SEHO: Anhalt and Sachsen-Meiningen court and state handbook. • HSachsEH: Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach court and state handbook. • icons: Sachsen-Altenburg, Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha court and state handbooks. The Prussian Königlicher Haus-Orden von Hohenzollern also has many abbreviations. The main Prussian sources used icons, as did the Reichsheer and Reichsmarine rank lists in the Weimar era. Then you have HOH, PrHoh, PrHohenz, PH, PHoh, PHH, PKHOvH, PrHvHhz, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is then the abbreviation for the Jubiläumsmedaille für die bayerische Armee from 1905? The one you wrote is the medal from 1911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 For some reason, the rank lists that include this medal fail to distinguish between the two. Bavarian rank lists do, but they use icons (a J in a circle for the Jubiläumsmedaille and a PL in a circle for the Prinzregent Luitpold-Medaille). However, I have noticed that the Bavarian Kriegsranglisten and Kriesstammrollen on Ancestry often use "PRLM" when it should be the Jubilee Medal.

Kriegsmarine Admiral Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) What does the abbreviation BL5 mean? EDIT: It's the Belgian Order of Leopold, Knight's Cross. Should be 4 instead of 5.

Kriegsmarine Admiral Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I have another question regarding the Roter Adler Orden. Let's say an officer had the Roter Adler Orden 2. Klasse mit Eichenlaub und Schwertern. If he was awarded the Stern zum, would the Stern also have the Eichenlaub und Schwertern or just the Schwertern if it was written in the Rangliste as RAO2ExmSTx?

Any officer who had the RAO2E would receive the star with oaks as well, right. The star would have swords if awarded for war merit, or "swords on ring" for a later peace time award. The abbreviation you quote looks like a war time award, so: both cross and star with oaks and swords. I don't think this could be any different.
