Thanks a lot !!!

Unknown officer with LOTS of awards

Hi Deutschritter, I have the same awards as you show. Except that I wasn't aware of the Baltenkreuz....

Luftwaffe Oberst Carl Seber

Hptm Müller (IR 51) is Friedrich Alfred Müller, originally from IR 137. Born 25.03.1882 in Weilerbach. Probably the MWB dated 05.Sep.1918 (same date as Majors Nollau & v Sommerfeldt u Falkenhayn).

Rudolf Wendte

Rudolf Lohse ?

Major Walther Schweitzer

Thanks Glenn for the ID. Ok here is another unknown officer. I believe his ribbon bar shows the HOH3x in third place.

Here is a pic of Rittmeister Hans Hohl https://digital.slub-dresden.de/werkansicht/dlf/281564/30/0/?tx_dlf[highlight_word]="Hans Hohl" 1885&cHash=fbebd2ccae06b5e193895f0d3f92f75d

Hi all, The man on the left is Ltn Lüdeke of Fliegerabteilung 14. Is he wearing the Kriegsverdienstkreuz from Reuß ? The other man is the CO Hptm Schaefer.

Here is another recipient, but unfortunately I'm unsure about his name.

Ludwig Graf von Holnstein aus Bayern

Hi, I don't have much really. He began the war as head of FFA 7 before before becoming Stofl 1 in 1915. I have a note that he was CO of FEA 1 around 1915-1916 when Friedrich Mallinckrodt made some flights. Possibly also CO of FFA 19 but no dates and not confirmed. Promoted Major on 18 Oct 1918.

I think this is Lt dR Philipp Höhn, brother? of Jasta ace Fritz Höhn. They both served in 7 Garde-Inf-Rgt.

Viktor Schobinger

Hello all, Many thanks for your replies. I suspected he had the HOH3x, but I couldn't find confirmation anywhere. I also have him as CO of FA 4 in May 1917, but I don't know how long he stayed in this unit. His brother Alfred is interesting too. He also appears to have had come connection with the air service....

Hi all, Just reviving this old thread. Here is the man in question, and I have also attached a document of Kasta 18 signed by a Hptm Wegener. Are they the same person? Any additional info is welcomed

Not confirmed yet, but the Hptm dR Decker in MWB 21.11.18 could be Franz Decker. He is mentioned in the Kölner Lokal-Anzeiger dated 06.1.1916. Difficult to read, but it mentions his awards up to this time.

A new first name, Oblt dR Otto Plümacher from FAR 7 & FAR 84. From Solinger Zeitung 05.8.1918

Hi Christophe, Very nice photo and excellent detective work! I love seeing photos of actual awards being worn, rather than just the ribbon bar

Hi all, I think this is another photo of the same officer.
