The "Richterzeitung" 1918 lists two Amtsgerichtsräte with HHOX:
1) Amtsgerichtsrat Brachwitz, Berlin -> this is Fritz Georg Richard Brachwitz, born 16.4.1875 in Berlin, 1912/13 Amtsrichter in Thorn, first name acc. to Adressbuch Thorn. He must be the HdR Brachwitz from RIR 6.
2) Amtsgerichtsrat Otto from Nienburg. I have not yet been able to find his first name, but he should be the Olt dR Otto from Nienburg/Weser in IR 82 in the 1910 Prussian ranklist. Probably would be found in the Adressbuch Nienburg.He might be the Hptm dL from LIR 31 without first name in our list.
Acc. to the Richterzeitung, he also got Hamburg and Bremen Hanseatic Crosses.

The same 1967 book also lists a "Ritterkreuz des Hausordens von Hohenzollern" for Prof. Dr. Jonathan Zenneck, 1871-1959, who was also Hptm dR in the Marineinfanterie:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Zenneck
The book includes the attached citation for action during the first Flandernschlacht in Nov 1914. I wonder if this is rather the Princely one?

Hello Friends,
I have Weydenhammer as Weidenhammer in my lists, Bavarian Officer.
BMV4X, EK2, BZ3bX, HT, ÖM3K, TH
No Hohenzollern, either Royal or Princely...
...and lots of THANKS!!!
Best,
Daniel
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.
