A little more info on Dr. Gerhard Kip.
30.6.1918
Born 2.6.1884 in Neuenhaus/Bentheim. Dr. phil. Univ. Halle 1910. I couldn't find his death year, but he got the Federal Merit Cross as Oberstudiendirektor a.D. in Wiesbaden in 1958: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Bundesverdienstkreuz/1958
And I suppose this is a Princely one? Thun (27.6.1918).

Here is an interesting notice: several officers of IR 74 got the HHOX at the same time. It seems they were all listed in the Staatsanzeiger with date 28.05.1918.
We have some of them already with full names, but not these (but now we know they must all be from IR 74):
Hptm Fischer (couldn't find first name)
Hptm dR Brandes (couldn't find first name)
Lt Teichmann, should be Carl Otto (sometimes Karl), from Harderode, acc. to VL
Lt dR Wendebourg, should be Gerhard acc. to VL, died from his wounds around July 1918

And indeed, a few days later, several further recipients from the Hagen region were posted:

Paul Noelle/Nölle - new first name, from 1. GzF.
Erich Schmolinski - we had him, went into RAD.
August Tempelmann - new first name.

No new info here, but it looks like in the 1930s, people seemed to regionally collect names of HHOX recipients (we had an example here earlier from Halle). Those lists would have been interesting - from Hagen only one is named here, Rektor Franz Wurm (we have him already).

New first name: OTL aD Otto Schmitz, died 1926.

If it was in the Sächsische Staatszeitung, I would say he must be included unless we have absolute proof that he did not get it.
Same with a notice from the Offizier-Verein.All sorts of weird things happened in the final stages of the war (and afterward), procedures were not always followed.

Very interesting! So he didn't update his Spange anymore after WW1.

Ok, digitization of the Hannoverscher Kurier has advanced to 1917. Not much new info so far, but here are some cases we already have, as a start:
Hptm Günther Tidow was from Hannover, had the Hessen as well:
7.12.1917
Walther Wriede from Lüneburg, born 1894 (Matty had him already), KIA 1918:
2.12.1917
