IR 134

Hi. Recent Ebay find and for only 4 € no bad deal. Emil Fürstenau, ca.1901 as Hauptmann and Kompaniechef at the Unteroffizier-Vorschule Marienberg. Can someone please give me the exact date from when to when he was there? Gruß Stefan

The Guy on the extreme left of the 1st pic looks like a war-painter. First thought was Ernst Vollbehr, but after seeing photos of him at that time it must be another one. Gruß Stefan

Nachtrag: Schmidt lived after the war in Plauen and died there in 1928. Gruß Stefan

Hi Christophe, may I ask you where the picture is from? Are the other two officers named? Thanks Gruß Stefan

Hi Christophe, I suppose this pic shows him as regimental commander of IR 134 before October 1903. In this month he led the Regiment to his new garrison town Plauen. He had a son - Hans - who was also an officer in IR 134, St. Henry KC 1916, killed 1919 in Chemnitz. Gruß Stefan

Really wonderful. And I think, in good hands Gruß Stefan

Pic of Halkett. (must be at far right) @Heiko: Have a great interest on your Photo Gruß Stefan

Ok, found out, that the later Ritterkreuz and Eichenlaubträger Hermann Flörke became commander I./IR 53 in March 1939. Possible that Richard Sinz then left the army, but not sure. Sinz survived the war and died 10.02.1964 in Göppingen Baden-Württemberg. Gruß Stefan

Hi Christophe. I suppose you mean this entry: Oberstleutnant Sinz - commander of Pi.Btl.24 - 04.09.1939 - Warta at the river Warta That´s not Richard. I believe that´s the above mentioned Konrad (who was a pioneer) but he definately fell 1941. I take a look at the Volksbund-database and there is also no Sinz listed fallen in 1939. So the entry in AHF seems to be a mistake. Gruß Stefan

Hello @ all. I´m searching info´s about the further career of the above saxon officer. [not to be confused with Konrad Sinz (maybe brother?) born 14.2.91, killed in Russia 1941 as Oberst and Pionierführer LI. AK] He´s born 27.2.1893, active officer in IR 134, St. Henry 21.7.1915. After War he joined the police. As a Major of the Landespolizei transferred in October 1935 to I./IR 53 in Weißenfels. 1939 Oberstleutnant and commander of the batallion. As far as I know he survived the war. As he was a Oberstleutnant in 1939 it seems possible that he later became a general, but I have no info about that. Many thanks for help. Gruß Stefan

Still wondering, which unit the Leutnant in post 254 belongs to. I have absolutely no idea which saxon unit wears a Number 9 on the shoulderboards :(

Were did you get the Postel-pic? He was an old 134er Gruß Stefan

:cheers:

Thanks a lot so far Rick. Can you confirm the units from Georg and Franz? Gruß Stefan

Hi pals. A friend asked me for further Infos (promotions; orders ...) of the following members of the Dreyse-family. Georg von Dreyse, born 1897 died 1979, probably in FAR 24, later Reichswehr-AR 3 Franz von Dreyse, born 1895, died 1937, probably in FAR 58 Hermann von Dreyse, born 1898, fell 1918 as a member of westfalian Jäger-Bataillon 7 So, Rick, Glenn and all the others, don´t dersert me PLEASE. Many thanks in advance. Stefan

Good morning Claudio. Really a fantastic saxon set. Top.

I don´t think so. Heinert died in the GDR. Funerals with orders from an "imperialistic, militaristic" State in my opinion wasn´t common during that time. As I stay in contact with the grandson of Walter Heinert I would be interested where you get these piece of bar Gruß Stefan

Hi Christophe. Are you sure with Max von Hopffgarten in Post 215? A friend of mine said, that the same pic is in regimental history of Reserve-Jäger-Batl. 26 and it says that this is Oberst Pudor. Gruß Stefan

Post 216 is Fortmüller Gruß Stefan

Interesting signature. Alexander Rühle von Lilienstern, a former officer of IR 134 and recipient of Kommandeurkreuz 2. Kl. of saxon St. henry order. Gruß Stefan

Hi Christoph. Where did you get the wonderful medal bar of Hartung? Gru? Stefan

Good morning Christophe. Whenever you show us these wonderful pictures I still love my saxons more and more Last Pic was made in Dresden, am I right? Then it could be saxon J?ger (13 or maybe Reserve 26). As far as I recognize the soldier on the right is wearing a green J?ger-Troddel. Gru? Stefan

I think that fits. The left person is wearing saxon engineer-uniform. Gru? Stefan

Hi Christophe. Really a fantastic collection, wonderful to see. Where did you get the pics in post 138-145? Regards Stefan
