Great stuff. Here's another - Hptm dR Rüffer, mentioned in Schleschische Zeitung Nr 576 dated 10th Nov 1918:- 

Hi Dave, 

Thanks for the interesting info on Loeb! 

Hi Daniel, 

Yes the Müllers are a problem in that respect. I have found another late winner, although I'm sure you have him already - Hptm Harry Nadrowski. He was still in the army in 1927, and the announcement of his HOH3x was published in 'Die Presse' (Thorn) on 03rd December 1918:-

Here's another one - Lt dR Fritz Loeb

Hi webr55, 

I think you are right. Here is another photo of Jacobi - I think it's him 

Hi Dave, 

Thanks for the info, it has helped me to find a bit more on Maximilian Müller. He was promoted on 28th September 1914, and awarded the EK1 around March-April 1916. The EK1 announcement appears in the Berliner Tageblatt dated 23rd April 1916. I have also found another death notice which gives high praise from his commanding officer. 

Many thanks Saschaw for your post. 

Hi Solomon, it doesn't look much like the Wilhelm-Ernst cross. But it might be the Mecklenburg-Strelitz kreuz für auszeichnung im kriege (1st class)? 

Wow - I had no idea that Herr Dierig had such an interesting career! 

Maximilian Müller died whilst serving with Flieger-Abt (A) 203 in 1918. I don't have the exact regiment that Gustav Müller served in. Does anybody know when these two men earned their high awards? 

Thanks, 

Matt. 

Hi Dave, great info as always. Here is another one from the same publication (Nr 555 dated 29 Oct 1918). I have also saved a few death notices for some Hohenzollern recipients if anyone wants to see them.... 

Oblt dR Hubertus Hermstein. Published in the Schlesische Zeitung Nr 553 dated 29 October 1918 :- 

Here is the photo 

And this is who it reminded me of 

Generalleutnant Nikolaus Schemmel 

Generalleutnant Viktor von Aigner 

Generalleutnant Helwig Luz, circa 1928

Hi Dave, 

Thanks for the extra career info! His EKII was announced in the Hamburger Anzeiger on 31st Dec 1915, and his EKI appeared in the Hamburgischer Correspondent on 29th Oct 1917. I haven't found the HH notification yet...

Another really late one - Lt dR Alfred Koyemann. Published in the Hamburger Anzeiger dated 20th December 1918 

Hi all, 
There was another aviation recipient of this award - Kurt Jaenisch

Best Regards,

Thanks KIR.  

Thanks Dave and Daniel. It's always nice to see the extra info you have on these men. 

Ok I have another late entry - Lt dR Wilhelm Kotthoff. This is from the Oldenburgische Volkszeitung dated 26th November 1918 :- 

Hi all, 
Just found this in the Bergsträßer Anzeigeblatt dated 30th October 1918:- 

Hi Ian, 

Thanks a lot, it's appreciated. Just to add to my earlier post, below are the only recipients that I'm aware of:- 

Ascheberg, Percy Baron von (circa 1924-27) 

Beroldingen, Egon Graf von (circa 1915-1918) 

Blomberg, Karl-August von 

Boenigk, Oskar Freiherr von (circa 1933-34) 

Brandt gen. Flender, Fritz von (on 16th July 1915) 

Kettler, Maximilian Frhr von (circa 1920-27)

Hi all, 
This man appears to be displaying the Hoh3x on his ribbon bar. Can anyone read the name on the photo? 

Hi GdC26, 
Yes thanks - it mentions 4 years service as Enhrenritter before being entitled to become a Rechtsritter. If Ian doesn't mind my hijacking his thread, I am going to post a rather grainy photo of an aviator who is wearing the Johanniter orden. Unfortunately I don't know his name, but as it's an uncommon award I am hoping that he can be identified. The man is probably from FFA 19. 

Hi all, Did you need to have the Ehrenritter before becoming eligible for the Rechtsritter?

I believe the man on the left is wearing the Prussian observer's badge. It looks like the poor chap has lost both his legs. 

Great! Many thanks
