David M Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Hi GentsI am looking for career details on Gustav Freiherr von Buddenbrock. Although he was a prussian General (b. 1810-d.1895) I could not find him in the index of Priedorff Soldatisches F?hrertum and I am hoping to find out some more about his career here.I am especially interested in if he could have received th CHGL4 (Knights Cross Churhessian House Order of the Golden Lion) as a Major. I have him as a Major in 1850.Hope to hear from youDavid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David M Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 So I guess he was not a Major in 1850? Would it be possible to find out which Buddenbrock was?All I show for him are:plm El, RAO2ElX, HOH2aX, EK2 70, RAO4X?, DA25, 1866, KDM 70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I know -and dislike-this family rather well.I believe there were two or maybe even three Buddenbrocks active in the Napoleonic wars. The chap you are looking for I believe topped out at Major and was elderly by 1850.The Almanach has extensive genealogy on these folks. A Buddenbrock grandson also surrendered Spandau to the Russians in 1945 as I recall. Buddenbrocks seem to have congregated in the artillery, although todays Freiherr once told me they were "always cavalry" (which I think was posing snobbery).

David M Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Thanks for you replies@Ulsterman: Sorry for your dislike to the Buddenbrock family! BTW: @Dave: the ADB was were I found the initiall data on Gustav. From this data I could not conclude if he was a Major in 1850 or ot. However there are many more in Soldatisches F?hrertum, So I will just check them all when I get to the Royal Library in one of the comming months.Thanks againDavidFrom Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie:http://mdz.bib-bvb.de/digbib/lexika/adb/im...ef,adb0470336)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
