This man is wearing a perculiar uniform. It looks like the old pre-ww1 type with Litzen for generals. I doubt they are sowed unto a red backing. No stars on the shoulderboards so he is the lowest general rank in the army (generalmajor). Maybe he got a promotion and upgraded his uniform.

 

Kind regards, Laurentius

The lace under his shoulderboards means AD ,that is Retired and his  uniform certaiinly looks as a Pre War  blue Waffenrock with red collar piped blue and with Alt Larisch Stickerei on it

Magnifique ! a little question, tinplate or aluminium ? perhaps lacquered felt ?

Very Very decent. a question ,the sweatband is leather made or waxed cloth ?

Hello dpast32, Simius rex made me to remember that the Front in WW1 was more or less determined by the range of the Heavy Artillery in front of Your Lines but also by the ubication of Army Corps Headquarters or even Army HQs

Hello Gents , the Coat of Arms looks German and Eichhorn  is a possible Name

dpast32 , As i posted before, the musics in the German Army and others served in action as stretcher bearers , Hilfskrankentrager .

As far i could appreciate by the photos they are good quality pieces , perhaps you can search over the Order of the Crown some manufacturer mark ?

Archduke Albrecht of Austria Teschen was made Prussian Generalfeldmarschall in the year 1893 ,two years before his death still being General Inspector of the AH Army, aged 78. in his long service he received nearly 48 awards and orders , The Golden Fleece, the Pour Le Merite , Il Collare della Annunziata , the Order of the Redeemer, a Brasilian order,a Montenegrin one, a Great Cross of the Legion de Honneur, at least 6 Russian orders or crosses, even two Serbian orders, 

Hello, Normally a Divisional Staff consisted in a Chief of the Staff, a Personnel Officer, a Inteligence Officer, a Operations Officer, a Logistic one , a Civilian affairs officer,apart a Divisional Chaplain or two, a  Divisional medical officer ,Divisonal Veterinarian and so on. The Army Corps Staff was organized among the same lines but tended to be composed of Field Officers of the rank of Lt Colonel onwards inclusive with General rank for example the Army Corps Artillery Chief or the Army Corps Medical chief Officer 

Hello , Austro Hungarian Cavalry comprised : Dragoons, Uhlans , Hussars ,and Tyrolean and Dalmatian Mounted Rifles. In the year 1914 all types of Regiments marched to the War wearing their  normal uniforms of Peacetime but with the headdressess covered with Pike grey cloth covers or painted in Pike grey colour. the exception were the Machine Gun squadrons ,uniformed in Pike Grey special uniforms . The uniforms were light blue with regimental facings for Dragoons and with madder red breeches for example. But your question is if the AH Cavalry weared Field Grey uniforms and the answer is Yes . at the end of 1914 they begun to receive dark blue grey breeches instead of the red , later they received Pike Grey infantry type Blusen , and finally from mid 1915 the so called Pelzulanka in Field Grey colour and same colour Blusen with regimental colour collar patches for Dragoons , Red patches for Uhlans and Honved hussars and Dark or Light blue ones for Common Army Hussars. Mounted Rifles received the same items and their collar patches were rifle green in colour . Later ,the Cavalry received Steel helmets in dull brown colour .

Respectfully , a pasticcio or collage from authentic uniforms pieces 

Once I read the memories of a Chilean General  in active during the twenties and thirties of the XX Century and a sentence expresed by him remained in my memory. When we retired we were obliged to the wear of civilian cloths and always i felt myself as disguised
