IR 134

Hi pals.

Stadler fell 7.9.1942 on the Eastern Front (Finland). His Death notice say, that he was a regimental-commander. He received German cross in Gold on 24.12.1941 as Major and commander III./IR 379 (169. ID) so I assume, he later became commander of the regiment.

Could anyone help me with my question?

Gru? und Dank

Stefan

Another famous St. Heinrichs recipent.

Might that be Dankwardt from IR 170????

awards fit.

Best regards

Daniel

Definitely Werner Dankwardt from IR 170. Funny: About 2 weeks ago i gave Daniel some copies from an issue of WGM-Rastatt magazine where his estate was showed.

Gru? Stefan

and tell me, if there is a list of the fallen members in it? And if so, could take some lookups for me?

Kind greetings

Stefan

Daniel Krause lives in Potsdam?

What a coincidence!

Although I?m native from saxony, I still live in potsdam.

Could you bring me in contact with him?

Kind greetings

Stefan

how would YOU like to enlist as our Gnome In Saxony and see what is actually in the Army Archives in Dresden?

That sounds pretty good! It would be a great honour to me to help you in this way!! (since the files for IR 134 are nearly complete in Dresden while most of the other saxon infantry documents were destroyed!!)

I?m still working on my "IR 134 Offiziers-Stammliste " - particularly with the help of saxon ranklists - and a list for the fallen regimental-members.

Gru? Stefan :cheers:

Thanks for reply Rick. You are reliable

I?m not common with this type of order-abrevation. Could you translate it to me? And, perhaps, have some date of awards?

Gru? Stefan

Hello.

I have a copy of death notice of above person (he fell 18.7.1918 near Fontenoy as leader of 8. company/Saxon Res.Inf.Rgt. 243) There it is mentioned that he was a knight of the St. Heinrichsorden. But in the book of Georg Richter: Der K?niglich S?chsische Milit?r-St. Heinrichsorden 1736-1918, he isn?t listed. Could it be, that he was a wearer of the St. Heinrichs-Medaille?

He still was wearing the Verdienstkreuz II. Klasse; Albrechtsorden II. Klasse and EK 2/EK 1. Could someone tell me the date of award?

Thanks

Stefan

This is the one I have been trying to find:

Geschichte des F?silier-Regiments Generalfeldmarschall Prinz Albrecht von Preu?en (Hann.) Nr 73. Im Auftrag des F?silierbundes 73 nach amtlichen Unterlagen und unter Mitarbeit von Mitk?mpfern bearbeitet und herausgegeben von Hans Voigt. (Berlin: Bernard & Graefe, 1938) (Deutsche Tat im Weltkrieg, 70).

I've seen it but loose the bids. Maybe more than I want to spend i guess.

Here another one on german evil-bay

A picture of Zehmisch as a F?hnrich 1914 (scroll down)

Gru? Stefan

Wooooaaahhh Kurt Zehmisch?

Boys you are greeeeeaaaaat.

For me, interested in IR 134th history Kurt Zehmisch is a very faboulus name. He was involved in the Christmas-Peace 1914 in Flanders. Also he had written a Diary which his son, who is still alive and live in Kurt Zehmischs native-town near Plauen, keeps.

Last year was the reopening ceremony of the regimental-monument in Plauen which was destroyed after 1945-. There I met the son and he told me, that his father served in WW2 in Inf.Rgt. 185 (raised in Plauen) and got missing. In civilian life Kurt Zehmisch was a Teacher.

Yesterday, after some looks at the photo i also thougt that might be Kurt Zehmisch, but I was unsure.

Now, I?m still out of words .

Gru? Stefan

The photo was taken in Plauen so it seems very likely to be an officer of Inf.Rgt.134.

What could be a possibility is Res.Inf.Rgt. 243 (3rd bataillon/243 was raised from IR 134 and some officers of IR 134 served in RIR 243), Reserve-Rgt. 133 or maybe Landwehr-Rgt.133. But I tend to the first one: IR 134

Gru? Stefan

Hello Christophe.

The email has well arrived. Many many thanks.

To identify this officer first i think we had to identify the medalbar.

1. the St. Heinrichs-Orden of course

2. maybe AR 1X?

3. EK 2

4. ?

Rick or somebody please heeeeelp

Definitely the photo can be dated at period 1918-1919 (Black wound badge)

#5. Kommandant d. something.

Kommandant der Gesteins-Bohrabt. Masch.Gruppe=could mean Maschinen-Gruppe

Gru? Stefan

Although it does not seem to fit the text, Bruckenbau is the only logical answer I can think of?

In my opinion it means Stra?enbaukol.

This one looks like "Landsturm___. Arzt".

Landsturmpfl.=Landsturmpflichtiger Arzt

And #6. "b. s?chs. O.H.L., Fernspr. ____. Zug 1151"

Stat.Zug=Stations-Zug

Sent you a message.

Gru? Stefan

Hi Deruelle. Do you have the original of this photo?

Gru? Stefan

Nr. 4: Wumba=Waffen- und Munitionsbeschaffungsamt

Nr. 7: "beim Kommando der Mittelmeer-Divis.[ion]

Gru? Stefan

In my opinion the person from komtur?photo is not Hultzsch.

Attached a scan from "S?chsischer Kameraden-Kalender auf das Jahr 1934" (Saxon Comrades-Calendar" from the Saxon Military-Association 1934) You?ll see Hultzsch as a major without the ?lberg-Kreuz.

Also have a look at the mustache.

Gru? Stefan

So, taked a look in the brochure. The opening ceremony for the monument the picture shows was on 24th october 1924.

It was removed after 1945 but nothing specific is known about that. The inscription on the left side with the iron cross under it is:

"IHR WARET TREU

BIS IN DEN TOD"

Gru? Stefan

This is the monument for the saxon 192nd Infantry-Division. The "Ugly pile" is the garrison-church in the albertstadt in Dresden (Today Dresden-Neustadt). Because it was used for the two confessions - katholic and protestant- that?s why it was built in an roman and gothic style and looks so strange. The monument itself did not exist today. I have a brochure from the "Arbeitskreis S?chsische Milit?rgeschichte" about the military monuments in Dresden. The monument is mentioned there. Will take a look inside at the evening.

PS: The Officer in Greatcoat looks a little bit like Alfred M?ller, Kdr. of the 4th Infantry-division of the reichswehr.

Gru? Stefan

Thanks for Stabswache. I still can't figure out the first part.

That means "Kav[allerie].-Stabswache

Gru? Stefan

One Question: the biografical study from E. Roth about saxon officers named above: What is the exat citation? Is it possible to buy?
