Some more info on Wilhelm Rau (1886-1960), from Iserlohner Kreisanzeiger und Zeitung, 9.11.1921:

 

Also here: https://www.menden.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Leben_in_Menden/Stadtarchiv/pdf/Rau-Wilhelm.pdf

 

Cannot find an August Rawen-Bochum. I wonder if he is the Lt dL Raven in our list.

 

From Iserlohner Kreisanzeiger und Zeitung, 25.8.1917

New first name: Julius Schulte-Niederbauer

 

From Iserlohner Kreisanzeiger und Zeitung, 28.5.1918

Just a typo in our list: It should be Eberhard Mohnicke, not Mohnike.

New first name: Josef Sassenberg

 

Kölner Local-Anzeiger, 27.5.1918

Here's another one I am unsure of, no rank given, not in the list, could also be a Princely one:

 

Matthias Wielputz (might be Wielpütz, there was a Lt dR with that name in IR 30).

 

Kölner Local-Anzeiger, 17.7.1918

 

 

 

Ah no - in November he is listed as Unteroffizier for his EK1. So his Hohenzollern must have been a medal to the Princely House Order I guess. 

 

[webr55]

Another NO case: Prof. Dr. Dr. Oskar Türk (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oskar_Türk), after 1945 one of the founding members of the FDP Köln, got a Princely one:

Good stuff, thanks a lot!!!

 

Schimpff and  Nicolai - both got the Schwarzburg 3rd class with swords... No Hohenzollern as fas as we know.

I've seen data from Dave's NARA-files about Schimpff, who was a Colonel in WW2, no Hohenzollern in.

MAYBE the news got it wrong...

 

Göricke got a HEK3X.

 

Best,

Daniel

New first name: Otto Apprecht

Not sure which one in our list this would be: Theodor Brandt, who later became pastor in Dortmund.

 

Dortmunder Zeitung, 15.1.1934 

[webr55]

A very interesting case: this notice from Dortmunder Zeitung, 30.7.1934, is about the promotion of Polizei-OTL Magnus who had received the HHOX. 

 

According to the DAL Schupo Preußen 1933, first name is Bruno, born 1884:

 

He might be the HdL from RFußAR 11 in our list, but I cannot tell.
