Good evening!

@Deutschritter: Could you please share where the first picture of Roßbach and Hauenstein is from? That would be great!

Almost two years ago, sorry, but I do not remember. Here is another nice one of Roßbach: https://www.deutsche-biographie.de/121476162.html

can someone translate this list of awards for Von Hartz?

Is it possible to upload this great awards list in a larger version? It can hardly be read. Thank you! I see he received the Turkey Eiserner Halbmond in 1917, but what could the last decoration (1.4.1918) from Turkey be?

According to my sources, this was, as one might assume, one "mit Schwertern/with swords", making it a BZ3a⚔.

 

My best guess: you simply forgot to mention these, given we're talking about a "Great War" award...

 

 

Oh yes, I would think so too, especially regarding the date ... BUT, what is strange, the Rangliste 1926 (https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015035971137&view=1up&seq=130&q1=Prager) and 1927 (https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015035971129&view=1up&seq=123&q1=Prager) both have him with (BZ3a) , not (BZ3a⚔) ... might it somehow be a pre-war award and the date 2 September 1915 is his Erlaubnis to wear it?
