Very interesting. He got his Dr. med. from the University of Frankfurt in 1918.

Wow what a spectacular bar! Do you know the name of the wearer?

Thank you, that’s what I thought! I have never seen it on a German bar though. Do you have examples where it was awarded to Germans?

Hello!
According to the last photo.
The left one is the bulgarian war medal 1914-1918 with swords.
The right one is unknown to me. Is the middle stripe blue or black? As far as I know, the slovakian medal of bravery (1940) had a blue middle stripe
Yes, right. The second to last ribbon in the bottom picture is the Bulgarian war medal.
The stripe in the middle of the last ribbon is blue, so yes, it could have been this ribbon for the Slovak Bravery Medal:

We have two Lauteschlägers in the list, but I think this is a new one.
In the list, we have:
- Reinhard L., born 1872, in 1914 Hptm in FAR 61, held RAO4X and KO4X, among others.
- Ernst L., born 1869, in 1914 Maj in IR 81.
Both got the HHOX already in 1917.
But then there is another one, in 1914 Olt dL in Landwehrbezirk II Darmstadt, from Artillery. It must be him.
Regierungsrat and Hptm dL R. Lauteschläger (I don't find his full first name.)
From Darmstädter Tagblatt, 9.11.1918
Ah - it's Rudolf, as per Adressbuch Darmstadt 1918:

Not sure if this has been posted before: here is the link to the digitized 1918 journal "Suomi Finnland: Nachrichtenblatt für das deutsche Militär in Finnland":
https://digital.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/werkansicht?PPN=PPN780157494&PHYSID=PHYS_0001
It also mentions Finnish awards to Germans.0 -

I recently got these two ribbon bars, which obviously belonged to a Baden native. The last ribbon on the longer bar has been puzzling me since then, I had never seen it before. It was obviously improvised by the outfitter, see the picture. Could this be one of the ribbons for the Slovak Bravery Medal?

KRICHLER, Reinhold. 1940-41 Maj., Kdr. II./Flak-Rgt. 36 (to 03.41). 03.41 appt Kdr. Flak-Abt. 121.
01.04.42 promo to Obstlt. 01.44 Obstlt., Kdr. Flak-Abt. 214 (still 09.44).
It seems that he was in IR 161 during WW1.
He is not in the list above as he was not commander of a Flak-Regiment, only of an Abteilung. The source I used does not cover Abteilung commanders. But it is a good point, I will see whether I can extend the list to include those as well.0 -

I did not know the HHO3x came with Eichenlaub
Update: While the Royal HHOX didn't come with oak leaves, it seems that there was a version of the Princely no-swords Hohenzollern with Eichenlaub, see below one that was sold. I didn't know that, what do the Princely statutes say about it?

Some more info on Bavarian Olt dR Dr. Sonnenschein from FAR3, prosecutor and flyer.
From Münchner Neueste Nachrichten, 29.6.1918
I find two Dr. Sonnenscheins before 1919 who would fit:
Dr. Wilhelm Sonnenschein from Werden a.d. Ruhr, who received a Dr. iur. from the University of Erlangen in 1904. (NOT him)
Dr. Adolf Sonnenschein, 1886-1965, who received a Dr. iur. from the University of Greifswald in 1913. He was also Regierungspräsident in Osnabrück from 1922 to 1933: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Sonnenschein_(Verwaltungsjurist)---> and yes, I can confirm that he is the Bavarian Reserve Officer "Adolf Sonnenschein genannt Wasserfall" in FAR 3. His file is in the Bavarian Hauptstaatsarchiv, with the same birthdate as the Adolf above:

Dr. jur. Hans Friedrich Blunck (1888–1961)
in Germany: Imperial: The Orders, Decorations and Medals of The Imperial German States
Posted
Blunck was a writer and president of the Reich Literature Chamber (Reichsschrifttumskammer). Also got the Goethe medal. I am not aware that he actually served in the Wehrmacht, but may have held a reserve rank.
