House Order of Hohenzollern - info needed

[webr55]

Here is an interesting overview notice for the decorations that IR 51 had got (by August 1918). 

There is at least one new first name: Hauptmann Alfred Müller from Weilerbach 

 

Also some interesting statistics at the end.

 

From Schlesische Zeitung, 6.8.1918

 

 

[webr55]

New first name Olt dR Otto Kunze 

 

From Schlesische Zeitung, 1.8.1918

 

 

[webr55]

New first name: Lt dR Karl Raasch from FR 34, KIA 1918.

 

From Schlawer Zeitung, 1.10.1918

 

 

 

 

[webr55]

Another new first name: The Lt dL Thomas from IR 450 who is in our list is Max Thomas:

 

Regiment is not named in the death notice, but Maj Kaulbach was commander of IR 450. 

 

Also interesting: again another "only submitted" one according to the death notice, but we know he got the award through other sources. We should therefore list all submitted ones (at least in a separate category), even if we have no proof they got the award.

 

From Schlawer Zeitung, 1.11.1918

Yet another (very late) submitted one who may well have got it:

 

Hptm dR Zimmer, BatKdr in einem niedersächsischen IR (I couldn't determine the exact regiment.)

 

This would be a new one, he is not in the list so far.

That would be Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 465. Hauptmann d.R. Karl Zimmer was a Leutnant d.R. in Jäger-Batallon Nr. 6 in 1914.

Great, thanks!

Hptm Müller (IR 51) is Friedrich Alfred Müller, originally from IR 137. Born 25.03.1882 in Weilerbach. Probably the MWB dated 05.Sep.1918 (same date as Majors Nollau & v Sommerfeldt u Falkenhayn). 

[Daniel Krause]

great stuff!!!

 

I am quite sure, that we have now more or less ALL Reserve and Landwehr guys.

there are only a handful listed in MWB and StAnz and not in the MilKab files.

The remaining missing 50-60 guys should be all active officers.

 

All the best

Daniel

New first name: Lt dR Willy Joost from Sensburg/East Prussia.

I guess we have him already, but just in case, here is a HHOX Komtur to a Geheimer Rat von Berg:

The Wilhelmshavener Tageblatt (20.10.1918) reprinted these HHOX recipients, obviously based on the Staatsanzeiger entry from 17.10. I checked all the names, we have them all - except for one:

 

Hptm dL aD von Zwingler

 

--->    CORRECTION: "Zwingler" seems to be a typo. This is probably Hptm dL aD Rudolf von ZINGLER (in the list already).

No, his award was in the Staatsanzeiger on 24.9.1918. I just found his first name in this publication from 1919.

This publication of the Franciscan Order ("Heimatgrüsse an die im Felde stehenden Patres, Fratres und Brüder der Thüringischen Franziskanerprovinz") from August 1917 mentions a (Franciscan brother) Zeno Maier who got the HHOX on 14. Juni 1917:

According to this publication, "Scharfschützen-Warte" (seems to be a weekly journal for MG-Abt.) from 6.10.1918, a Lt dR Lange from Abt. Buttmann received the HHOX.
