Be so kind and take a look: I have him as commander of the Deutsch Ordens-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 152 (at the beginning of WWI) not the Infanterie-Regiment von Alvensleben (6. Brandenburgisches) Nr. 52 ... am I mistaken?

Thank you

Thank you, Glenn!

Right, I also have his father as Oberverwaltungsgerichtsrat. Well, he might be converted, but of Jewish descent.

This still doesn't explain why he was ennobled. I wonder whether it's got something to do with his mother's family. There were several Generals Malotki von Trzebiatowski.

 

The father of Helene Hahn (mother of Johannes von Hahn) Malotki von Trzebiatowski was as Oberstleutnant/Oberst commander of the 6. Pommersches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 49 in Stargard. Does anyone have a first name? Gustav August Wilhelm Malotki von Trzebiatowski? Thanks!

August Ludwig Oskar Johannes Hahn, since 23 October 1907 von Hahn ... served as Oberstleutnant in the staff of the Infantry Regiment Hamburg (2nd Hanseatic) No. 76.

Hi Andreas,

 

no, he entered his regiment as a Fahnenjunker. His Patent would have been backdated on account of his being an Abiturient.

Glenn

Thank you, Glenn ... I am often amazed about your vast knowledge of military history!

Thank you very much, Gentlemen! I do have one more question, if I may. I read, he was promoted to Leutnant on 18 August 1911, but receiving a Patent from 20 August 1909 (according to Rangliste). Does this imply, he came from the Königlich Sächsisches Kadetten-Korps (Cadet Corps)?

I agree, gentlemen, thank you both!

Looks like a KVK. I'm assuming this guy is related to the aforementioned von Hahn?

Sorry, I do not know. Von Hahn was from Erfurt, Johannes Hahn from Oberlößnitz near Dresden. Von Hahn may be related to Eichenlaubträger Major Hans Robert Fritz „Assi“ Hahn from Gotha, not far from Erfurt.

Thank you, Solomon! Maybe War Commemorative Medal (Austria) instead of War Commemorative Medal (Hungary)? What do you think?
