    1. Kiewitz is Werner, 1891-1965, later diplomat and eventually head of the Ordenskanzlei des Bundespräsidialamtes. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_Kiewitz His HHOX is mentioned in several publications, such as the Kurowski book above.
    2. Yes, he is in Verlustlisten as "Weidenhammer" as well. I find two references for him (during his lifetime) which seem to be independent from each other: - A 1967 book, "Deutsche Offiziere in Staat, Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft" by Franz Kurowski lists Rudolf Weydenhammer with the "Ritterkreuz des Hausordens von Hohenzollern". - The German Who's Who 1970 lists him with "Hohenzollern-Hausorden". I couldn't find out whether earlier volumes list it as well.
    3. Hptm dR Lohmeyer from Pioniere should be Paul Adolf Fritz Lohmeyer. Born 25.11.1875 in Thorn, in Verlustlisten with PR 23, later Präsident der Reichspostdirektion Frankfurt. Died 13.10.1944 in Königstein according to his death certificate at ancestry. https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/item/Z4CCYIBOPQCCUIXCM2OGWPPV5K3HVQXJ
    4. Lt dR Lütke is probably Andreas Ludwig Lütke, Lehrer in Travemünde, from IR 394, and IR 162 before. Born 17.10.1886 in Schwartau. Verlustlisten Dec 1918 have him as vermisst. I find nothing about him after WW1.
    5. Lt dR Lützkendorf is most probably Otto Max Lützkendorf, born 1894 in Wegeleben. "Reichsbankdiätar" after WW1, found in Berlin address books until at least 1973.
    6. Oberst aD Ernst Mahrenholz, 1867-1945 (in Magdeburg), death certificate at ancestry (it says: KIA by artillery fire)
    7. Here is a Dr. Rudolf Weydenhammer (1890-1972), whom several sources credit with the (Royal) HHOX. During WW1 in Bayr. FAR 3. He was heavily involved in the Austrian 1934 putsch, later Wehrwirtschaftsführer, in the Aufsichtsrat of BMW and also Ehrensenator of Munich Univ.: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Weydenhammer In our list, we have a Robert Weidenhammer, who got the HHOX in 1917 as Major, but it cannot be him.
    8. Wolfgang von Werder, 1876-1944 https://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Personenregister/W/WerderWolfgangvon.htm Eberhard Joachim Graf von Westarp, 1884-1945 https://geneall.net/de/name/68277/eberhard-joachim-graf-von-westarp/ "Weske" from IR 99 is the later Prof. Dr. Carl Wesle, 1890-1950, per Verlustlisten and bio at Univ. Kiel, which mentions his HHOX: https://cau.gelehrtenverzeichnis.de/person/17898c38-1ea4-e1a1-fda1-4d4c604dc2b7?lang=de#:~:text=Weitere Informationen-,Ehrungen,-Zeitraum
    9. Franz Freiherr von Stengel, 1867-1947 Kurt Freiherr von Watter, 1866-1937 https://www.leo-bw.de/web/guest/detail/-/Detail/details/DOKUMENT/labw_findmittel_06/labw-1-330003/Watter Kurt von Freiherr
    10. Hans Mohs, 1870-1940, was researched at AHF: https://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=202533&start=60 Erich von Oldershausen, 1872-1945 https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_von_Oldershausen
    11. Hptm dR Hoernigk is Curt as per Verlustlisten. No other reserve officer with that name in artillery in 1914.
    12. Some genealogical data for the Counts Holnstein: Emanuel Graf Holnstein aus Bayern, (1868-1950), Oberst aD Heinrich Graf Holnstein aus Bayern, (1881-1959), Major aD Ludwig Graf Holnstein aus Bayern, (1873-1950), Oberst aD
    13. Same with Gottfried Fuchs from FAR 14, who we have listed as Oswald. There is a fascinating story behind this one: He was of Jewish origin, born in Karlsruhe in 1889, a very successful football player esp. before WW1. Played several times for the German national team. He had to emigrate during the Nazi era, finally coming to Canada. In 1941, he changed his name to Godfrey E. Fochs. Died in Montreal in 1972 (after some 'complicated' relations with the DFB: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottfried_Fuchs ) Several books tell his story, such as this one (the scans below are taken from it): https://books.google.de/books?id=jb5IEAAAQBAJ
    14. This should be Dr. Karl Heinrich Rother, who is so far listed as Heinrich Rother in our list. Dr. phil. from Univ. Breslau in 1912.
    15. Bitterberg is also mentioned as one of three teachers with HHOX in this postwar notice (Bielefelder General-Anzeiger, 9.12.1918). The other two are Waldemar John from Spenge (Matty had him already, https://www.kreisheimatverein.de/online-bibliothek/biografien-2/john/) and Christian Stellhorn from Gadderbaum, first name acc. to Adressbuch Bielefeld (Bethel, in Gadderbaum). He is found at least until 1950.
    16. First name: Walter Angenete from Herford Bielefelder General-Anzeiger, 15.6.1918 Born in 1879, acc. to this link: https://www.ve-friederizianer.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Friederizianer_195_online.pdf
    17. We might have had these two before, I am not sure. Only new initials, not complete first names: Lt W. Grosse/Große from Minenwerfer Kp. 13, from Minden Bielefelder General-Anzeiger, 10.2.1917 Lt W. Heilmann from Minden Bielefelder General-Anzeiger, 31.3.1917
    18. First name: Bruno Lehnemann Westdeutsche Landeszeitung (Gladbach), 21.9.1918 Born 1892, an architect - and he was with Speer later on: https://wiki.hv-her-wan.de/index.php?title=Bruno_Lehnemann Seems he died in 1944, acc. to this list: http://www.burschenschaftsgeschichte.de/pdf/lexikon-namensverzeichnis.pdf
