I am seeking information about
Karl Leichenstern, b. 29 May 1847, major general in the Bavarian army, 1899-1901 commander of 10th Königlich Bayerische Infanterie-Brigade.
I only know that his father was Ludwig Leichtenstein, d. 1866 at fortress Rosenberg, lieutenant colonel.
The Prussian Maschine doesn’t list him, perhaps he retired before 1914. I found an entry of him from 1906 where he was categorized “zur Disposition”.
Kind Regards
Hermann

The inauguration of the Monument to the Battle of Nations (Völkerschlachtdenkmal) was a very big event. Here are some pictures and videos.

First letter is a "P", so could be read as "Pense" (Poensgen?).

"prot." is actually correctly written, if a bit sloppy. Compare the "g" in "wegen", for example.
Thank you Dave,
Somtimes you don't see the wood for the trees.

Thanks Chris,
You must be familiar wirh the old German script (Sütterlin). May be 1-2 percent of Germans can read such a text. The particular problems are abbreviations. For example: Bez. A. for Bezirksamt, or 1.P.E.K. for a special military unit.
I'm not a military epert. I'm a family researcher. And of course it's handwritten. You can't be sure about each individual letter.

I found the medal on the Homepage of a German trader und the heading: "Zu den drei Weltkugeln"
Galerie d´Histoire, André Hüsken, Hamburg
This is the oldest and biggest mansonic lodge in Germany
Hüsken offers the medal for 180 Euro. Did you make a good deal?

Last try. What about him? Max von Bock und Polach. He has the grand cross of the Saxe Ernestine House Order and the 1870 EK II. But he ist a Prussian field marshal.

I'm not a military expert. I just compare the images. Another try: Heinrich Leo von Treitschke

He must be one of the Edler von Planitz Generals, perhaps Paul Edler von Planitz, Saxon war minister. But I'm not sure.

Karl Leichtenstern, b. 1847, Generalmajor

Thank you, Andy. I collect old photographs. I have a CAB of Leichtenstern and I want to post it on Wikipedia. So, I try to write a short biographical article about him. I hope Wikipedia will accept it. Leichtenstern must be a relevant person. I am not sure if he is.
One of his brothers was a well known physician.
