    Hi,

    I want to be sure, you are not talking about Leutnant Hans Clausen from FA 230 and who served in the FR 108 ?

    Rudolf Fischer from the 1942 edition of 'Garten Kunst'. Born 15 Dec 1883 in Berlin. See page 9 of the first file, and page 2 of the second link for details of his EK1. He was from GGR 3 and RIR 262. The book on the latter regiment notes his HOH3x award on page 238. He appears a few times in the verlustlisten.

    Leutnant dL Heinrich Zeininger (see page 8). Born 1867 !

    http://gartentexte-digital.ub.tu-berlin.de/archiv/Gartenkunst/Jg.52/B09.pdf 

    Very interesting! The last Prussian "Hofgartendirektor". There is even a picture in the article, however the scan makes it unrecognizable. Fortunately, it can be found on the net:
    It might be that this is the Hohenzollern Hausorden without swords.

    What I can recognize:

    EK, Verdienstkreuz für Kriegshilfe, HHO, RAO4, some Long Service decoration probably


    then 4 foreign decorations:
    first might be Austrian
    2nd looks a bit like the Hungarian War Remembrance Medal, but I'm not sure
    3rd might be Danebrog
    last one: Bulgarian Order of Civil Merit

    I looked in the Swedish "statskalendern" from 1880. Statskalendern are were important people in Sweden was listed with there ODM´s. I found 4 persons who hade recived this order. 

    Carl Herman Oscar Ennes, Ärekors af Hohenz. Hus 0. 3:e kl. 

    Frih. Gustaf Johan Wilhelm Ehrenborgh, Ärekors af Hohenz. Hus O. 2:a kl.

    Sven Hjalmar Thestrup, Ärekors af Hohenz. Hus-O. 3:e kl.

    Olde, Emanuel Mathias, Ärekors Hohenz. Hus. 0. 3:e kl. 

    So these person would have gotten the order before 1880.

    Great work! Here is a 1932 article relating to a Josef Jans (b. 1894). I cannot find him in the MWB or any other publications from the war era.

    Hello,

     

    does anybody have more info on Jans?

    I have a Lt d.R. Jans in Feldluftschiffabteilung 21.

    Maybe him?

     

    Best,

    Daniel

    Hi Daniel, 

    Sorry I don't have anything on the WW1 career of Jans, and only one other newspaper clipping.

    Thanks to all for the additional info on Zeininger! 

     

     

    Scratch that, I have found a Lt dR Josef Jans in the verlustlisten. Lightly wounded with IR 394. His date of birth matches the online records. Not much, but something at least.

    It looks like we have him already, but still: death notice of Lt dR Friedrich Eversmeyer, 
    Westfälische Neueste Nachrichten, 22.10.1918

    Similar: Lt dR Gustav Kolkmann (it however only says "eingereicht"/submitted to HHOX, so no guarantee he got it)

    Westfälische Neueste Nachrichten, 15.10.1918

    kolkmann.png

    Again, only submitted: Lt dR August Velhagen
