IR 134

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.

Really wonderful. And I think, in good hands

Pic of Halkett. (must be at far right)

@Heiko: Have a great interest on your Photo

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.

Hi Stefan,

Here is an interresting link for you

http://forum.axishis...20220&start=105

I have not find him as General during WW2.

Regards

Christophe

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.

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.

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 wonder if that bar is the one from his funeral pillow.

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

OK, Rick cannot find any high awards for this guy, so lets seee if our Saxon collectors know the document.

First off, a fancy certificate citing him for his brave fighting in Flanders in October 1917.

Have seen this doc in a number of forms, this particular one at battalion level...

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

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

his son MIGHT have been Leutnant dR (Pio Bn 12) Kurt Sch?ne, who received SA3bX 04.12.15 and no other Saxon Order during the war.

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

but I went back and found him for you.

Hello Mike.

Maaaaany thanks for your help.

I hope you don?t had any trouble therefore to go to the archive again.

My interest in Stadler results from the fact that he served in WW 1 in IR 134 as a young officer. He was born in Plauen where his father (?) have had a embroidery-company.

I sent you my mail to your adress.

Gru? Stefan

With the help of a friend of Ingo and me we found out, that the person is

Alfred Hanson from IR 181. The same pic. is in the regimental history

Gru? Stefan

As far as I know souch type of uniform was introduced for experimental purposes in the late 20ths/early 30ths but never was introduced. Today?s german Bundeswehr parade uniforms look?s the same way.

Will take a look in the Kraus-Book of Reichswehr uniforms this evening.
