    1. Hello Andy, thanks a lot for your help. Unfortunately I couldn´t find any details about the city where he ´s buried. Kind regards Karsten
    2. Hi Andy, Erwin Immanuel Fischer was born 26th October 1866 in Smazin, Kreis Neustadt (West-Prussia). He married Clara Toni Hirschborn on 21st November 1903 (born: 15th April 1884) divorce from his wife Clara on 22nd July 1918 He received his bavarian citizenship on 4th January 1919 He died on 5th Ocotber1938 Regards Karsten
    3. Hello all, thanks a lot for your great research Andy. He's mentioned as Oberstleutnant a.D. on his gravestone. So he was never Oberst. It seems that he has also lost his prussian citizenship. He received a bavarian citizenship at the beginning of 1919. He married a second time but finally he was destitute. I will take further research. But now I have an evidence. Thanks to Andy =) Thanks a lot and Best regards Karsten
    4. Hello all, I need research-help for Oberstleutnant Erwin Immanuel Fischer (Patent Oberstlt. with 27th January 1914) In 1914 he served in 3. Großherzogl. Hessisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 168 I have the following informations according to his award documents: till Ocotober 1914: Chef des Generalstabes des Gouvernements der Festung Metz till December 1915: Chef des Generalstabes der Armee-Abteilung von Strantz He held this position till december 1915 and was replaced by Wilhelm Wild I have no further informations for his service in WW1. I hope someone, especially Glenn J and arb, can assist. What was his last rank? Where did he served after december 1915? I couldn´t find him in Ehrenrangliste des Herres 1914-1918 Thanks and best regards Karsten
    5. Hi all, it was allowed to wear different classes at the same time when they were awarded for different wars. vEpp received his MVOs for service in China, Southwestafrica and WW1. Best wishes Karsten
    6. Hello all, it´s Kurt von Schleinitz! You will find his biography on that website also: http://www.germancolonialuniforms.co.uk/ Best regards Karsten Ek2 = MMV2 Last order = RumSt5 -> see
    7. Hello again, thanks for your input. But I was not asking for the rule of successions. I was asking for your argument with 5 and 10 years.... But don´t forget that there were also exceptions, see attached photo (from my ex-collection)! It shows a saxon NCO (Unteroffizier) with: GSWA-medal/ MEZ2 and sFAM A proud saxon with his saxon award on the last position So never say never! Best regards Karsten
    8. Hello, could you please explain 5 and 10 years for both FA-medals. I can't follow you in that case. FA-medal in bronce was awarded to enlisted men and FA-medal in silver was awarded to NCOs You wrote: the saxon medals should always come first or second, but never be third after an medal from the colonies. Are you sure? We have seen some bars wir the craziest succession of medals/ decorations But I don't like also the shown medal bar, due to other reasons. Best regards Karsten
    9. hello all, the photo shows Bayme Mohamed Husen! A former Askari. He fought together with his father for Lettow-Vorbeck in WW1 His father was KIA and Bayme Mohamed Husen was taken POW in 1917 The photo shows him as an acteur for the movie "Die Reiter von Deutsch-Ostafrika"! Best regards
    10. Hi, it could be identifiable. We have the Stanislaus ribbon on the last position! So it could be the Stanislaus 3rd class with swords. Some german fighter's received that award for their participation on the battle of the Peitang-Forts! Not many of them fought also in German-Southwestafrica! So may be identifiable. Best regards Karsten
    11. Hi all, I would suggest a "Marine-Oberstabsingenieur" or something like that. Most of them had the combination of RAO4 and KO4 Best wishes Karsten
    12. Hi all, and here the second one. It shows a unknown saxon colonial official with a nice combination of awards: KO4Xw DSWA-Denkm. for fighters SA3bX On the right side (next to his leg) is stamped the year 1908.....So we have to search for someone who had the nice combination of KO4Xw and SA3bX and who served also in Halle/a.S. in 1908! He has to be one of the following candidates: ProvAmtAssistent Bannier Karl DSWA KrO4xw 1907 SA3bx 1908 ProvAmtInsp Engst August R. DSWA KrO4xw 1907 SA3bx 1908 Intendanturreg Kemter Georg DSWA Feldintendantur KrO4xw 1907 SA3bx 1907 ProvAmtAssistent Kießling Karl F. DSWA KrO4xw 1907 SA3bx 1908 Feldlazarethinspektor Posselt Eduard DSWA Romansdrift KrO4xw 1907 SA3bx 1908 ObVeter Scholz Paul DSWA 1. Feldregiment (beritten) KrO4xw 1906 SA3bx 1906 Proviantamtassistent Schulze Emil O. DSWA KrO4xw 1907 SA3bx 1908 ProvAmtskontrolleuer Hille Ernst Hermann DSWA Karib KrO4xw 1907 SA3bx 1908 and Ober Intend. Sekr. Seifert who received also KO4Xw and SA3bX who is shown in "Rangliste der Intendanturbeamten für 1914 ". Seifert was born in 1873. So we have 9 candidates in total.I hope that of of them served in Halle/a.S. in 1908 Thanks a lot and best regards Karsten
    13. Hi all, after the sucessful identification of Hptm. von Schlichtegroll: I hope that´s also possible to identify the following two colonial officials. For first the prussian one. The photo shows a prussian colonial official with the following nice award-combination: KO4Xw AEZ DSWA-Denkm. for fighters Centenary-medal The photo was taken in Oels (in Silesia/ near of Breslau) Only 4 candidates are possible....Those candidates are: Kaserneninspektor Annighöfer--> received KO4Xw in 1907 Lazarettinspektor Blümel--> received KO4Xw in 1908 but retired also in 1908 Lazarettinspektor Dybilasz--> received KO4Xw in 1906 Kaserneninspektor Sasse--> received KO4Xw in 1906 but served in Plön (cadet school) after his colonial service After those infos I would tend to Kaserneninspektor Annighöfer and Lazarettinspektor Dybilasz but of course we can not exclude Kaserneninspektor Sasse and Lazarettinspektor Blümel. So I hope that one of those 4 candidates served in Oels between 1907 and 1914. It would be great if someone could give back a name to this nice photo. Thanks and best regards Karsten
    14. Hi Chip, thanks a lot for your confirmation...... .....and unnecessary posts don´t exist Thanks and best regards Karsten
    15. Thanks a lot again Glenn, so the photo must be taken between 1905 and March 1909. Nice Best regards Karsten
    16. Wow thanks a lot Glenn Hans von Schlichtegroll received his MVO4 on 11th March 1911 but when did he receive his RAO4? I was thinking that the china-medal is a bronze one because it´s looking so dark like the Jubiläumsmedaille.....so I was researching in the wrong way Thanks a lot for identify him. Best regards Karsten
    17. Hi all, today I received this nice and interesting photo. It shows a bavarian officer (captain) with the following awards: -Jubiläumsmedaille -SA3b -China-medal in bronze for fighters (in my opinion it looks like a bronze one) -bavarian long service cross for 24 years Unfortunately I´m not able to identify the insignia on his shoulderboard but the photo was taken in Munich.... ....so I assume that he was a member in one of the following regiments: Infanterie-Leib-Regiment 1. Infanterie-Regiment „König“ 2. Infanterie-Regiment „Kronprinz“ Right? I checked all bavarians participants of China 1900/1901 but no sucess..... ....my hottest candidat is: OberleutnantFärber Bayr. 11. I.-R. 7 Unfortunately the SA3b is missing....but I have no idea if Oblt. Färber received the saxon award some years later. For those candidates I couldn´t also find any infos: Leutnant Frhr. v. Stengl Bayr. 22. I.-R. 5 HauptmannKraft Bayr. 23. I.-R. 6 HauptmannGraf v. Berri della Bosia gen. v. Külberg auf Gansheim u. Berg Bayr. I.-L.-R. 7 LeutnantRaila Bayr. 2. I.-R. 5LeutnantNeumaier Bayr. 10. I.-R. 7LeutnantLeeb Bayr. 4. F.-R. So one of them could also be possible.....If nobody of them would match, it could also be possible that the china medal is a steel-version. I would be very thankful if someone could identify him. I have only the bavarian 1911-Rangliste and had no sucess. Maybe he was retired at 1911. Thanks a lot and have a nice day Karsten
    18. Hi Andreas, thanks a lot for your fast respond. Very nice to see the "african" decorations of Albert Freiherr von Schrenck von Notzing Do you also have the certificates? Or is there anything on the backside of those awards which shows that these belong to Albert Freiherr von Schrenck von Notzing?? Best regards Karsten
    19. Hi Andreas, can I ask why? Yes I have a photo of Albert Freiherr von Schrenck von Notzing, see here: Best regards Karsten
    20. Hi Heiko Haha I hope so....maybe one day Hi Chris, indeed small world....but good to know that both are saved in our community. So by any questions.... Best wishes Karsten
    21. Hi Chris, here von Pappritz 2nd document.... normally I don´t collect IronCross-Documents BUT I want to reunite the estate of Pappritz....so I had to buy it. His documents for IronCross 1st and KO3 (for China).... best wishes Karsten
    22. Hi all, here is the picture without any red stripes and in better quality Best regards Karsten
    23. Hello Christian, thanks a lot for your friendly words. If you are interested for pictures with a higher quality, send me a personal message. Interesting picture but it seems that Kraehe isn´t wearing his "china-awards"?! Best wishes Karsten
    24. Hello, here we have two pics of Konrad Kraehe First picture shows him as a captain with the combatant ribbon (KO4x). The Photo was taken in 1910 The second one shows him some years later as a General der Infanterie but with all his awards . I know six years of delay but I hope the search is still of interest. Best wishes Karsten
