    1. We have a Karl von Hake, but I think we don't have him yet: Fritz Adolf Carl von Hake, born 15.8.1874 in Soldin. 1914 Hptm in 5. GzF. Cdr of IR 462, Maj aD. Died 30.9.1958 in Bad Hersfeld (acc. to data from myheritage). His HHOX is mentioned along with his other awards in a publication "Geschichte der brandenburgischen Familie von Hake", 1928:
    2. Maybe we had him here already: The Olt "von Winkler" in our list can only be Hartwig von Winckler, originally from IR 152, later a flyer. 1888-1954, in WW2 Lw Oberst: https://www.tracesofwar.com/persons/73850/Winckler-von-Hartwig.htm
    3. The Hptm dR Winkler from RIR 11 was Amtsgerichtsrat in Zobten during WW1, but I couldn't find his first name. There was an Oskar Winkler who was Amtsgerichtsrat in Delitzsch in 1924 (acc. to their address book), but I am not sure whether they are identical.
    4. Olt Jancke (or maybe rather the Lt dR Janke) is Dr. Herbert Jancke (1886-1959), Oberfinanzpräsident: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Jancke Name found below in Breslauer Hochschul-Rundschau 1918:
    5. This should be a new one: Rudolf Berkemeyer, also received the Hessen. From the Verzeichnis der Universität Rostock, 1918.
    6. Hptm dL Sunkel can only be Heinrich Friedrich Sunkel, born 2. Mai 1877 in Rotenburg/Fulda, Amtsrichter (ancestry).
    7. Major Dencker can only be Fritz Hermann Dencker, cdr of FußAR 10: (Glenn provided the info: https://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=104571) Died 28. Aug. 1952 in Haselünne as OTL aD acc. to data from myheritage (they have his birth date as 24 Jan 1869 in Solingen). Hptm Davids is Adolf Wilhelm Davids, born 24.4.1881 in Schleswig, died 31.3.1933 (ancestry). We had him here already: https://gmic.co.uk/topic/39659-ek2-18701914-spange-baden-mystery-medal-bar/
    8. Hptm aD Dettinger can only be Karl Dettinger. He is listed in the ERL under "wiederverwendete inaktive Offiziere", originally from IR 132, and in the VL listed from Stuttgart.
    9. The Lt dR "Belimack" in our list is probably a misread Fraktur writing of "Behmack". Belimack does not exist as a name. We have a Lt dR Kurt Behmack in the VL, from MG-Kompanie of IR 72. From Bunzlau/Schlesien. This looks like another fascinating story: born 1887, he was from a Jewish family, became Zahnarzt in Torgau, emigrated to Paraguay in 1939 and returned to Germany, died in 1962. https://stolpersteine-torgau.de/index.php/orte-biographien/karl-marx-platz-6-behmack
    10. Constantin Rudolf Karl Maria Freiherr von Berchem-Königsfeld, 1889 (Steinach) -1948 (Berlin) (acc. to myheritage)
    11. Thanks! Now I could find him: Born 13. Mai 1879 in Barmen, in address book Düsseldorf 1941/42 as Major z.V. Died 22. Dezember 1959 (https://michaelwiescher.com/getperson.php?personID=I411&tree=Beeckmann)
    12. The Hptm Beeckmann in our list was from FAR 35, Patent as Lt in 1900, Major aD in 1918, but I couldn't find his first name.
    13. Trying to find the first name of Hptm dR Skrodzki from RIR 38. He cannot be the Hptm dL (1914) from GGR 5, that was Friedrich/Fritz, born 1864 in Limburg, in captivity from 1917 to 1919. He can only be the Lt dR in the 1914 RL, who was originally in GrenR 11 (with location Neutomischel): Erich Skrodzki (1883-1955) https://marjorie-wiki.de/wiki/Erich_Skrodzki His death certificate lists him as "Direktor des Rechnungshofes des Deutschen Reiches a.D.".
    14. Karl Wilhelm Solff, born 19.6.1872 in Schwelm, died 20.9.1941 in Baden (acc. to ancestry). Other awards, acc. to Deutsche Luftfahrer-Zeitschrift 1918: Adolf Soldan died as Oberst aD in Bad Nauheim in 1950 (death cert. at ancestry).

    20. Haase's Personalbogen as teacher explicitly lists, among other awards, a "Hoh. Hausorden": https://archivdatenbank.bbf.dipf.de/actaproweb/image.xhtml?id=4424b649-22bd-45d2-9461-288e0eb77244 https://archivdatenbank.bbf.dipf.de/actaproweb/archive.xhtml?id=Vz++++++1d7f76af-59b8-40a8-9395-a5e761f394ca
