webr55 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 This story from Volksblatt (Oldenburg), 14.4.1932, is about a former Hptm "Hemman" who was sentenced in court for fraud. A Hohenzollern-Hausorden is mentioned, a Princely one? The story mentions that he wrote a book "Carie's Briefe" in 1904 - I checked it, his correct name is Ernst Hemmann. There is a Lt dR with that name in the 1914 RL in FußAR 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webr55 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) On 18/11/2021 at 22:35, Dave Danner said: Decker was an Oberleutnant der Reserve (Marburg) in Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr. 9 at war's begin. He was Direktor of the Reichsbanknebenstelle in Marburg. He also had the LD2. Wilhelm Heinrich Paepenmöller from IR 173 was born on 25.10.1887. He was in Volksschuldienst from 1.10.1911 on and was still there in the 1940s, so he should have had the Treuedienst-Ehrenzeichen. Even more on Paepenmöller, with a picture: Westfälische Zeitung, 29.11.1934 Prof Dr Ernst Meister died 1939: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Meister_(Geologe) Prof Dr Conrad Ramstedt lived 1867-1963: https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/11573033 Here is his picture with the HHOX: https://collections.nlm.nih.gov/catalog/nlm:nlmuid-101694285-img Ramstedt was actually the godfather of - Karl Lagerfeld: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrad_Ramstedt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrad_Ramstedt The German Wikipedia mentions that Lagerfeld called him "der schickste Mann, den ich je gesehen habe" - so even might have influenced his style.

webr55 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 This is an absolutely fascinating story, worth an article of its own or even a book: The Dr. Hadra in our list, "landsturmpflichtiger Arzt" from 2nd GardeR zF is Dr. Edmund Georg Hadra, a (converted) Jew. Born in Berlin in 1877, Dr. med. from Univ. Leipzig in 1906. Wounded three times in WW1, he received the HHOX in 1918. Survived Theresienstadt, where he was sent in 1942. Emigrated to South America after the end of WW2, then to the US in 1948, where his daughter already lived. Practiced again in several NYC hospitals and died in Manhattan in 1971, at 93. What a life. https://books.google.de/books?id=Hk93DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA296&lpg=PA296&dq=dr+hadra+garde&source=bl&ots=COPCCWFSgg&sig=ACfU3U3cO_nZcxoYESn_FpZh5XVXau0cSA&hl=de&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjOiZiN7br0AhWHDuwKHVSTCWoQ6AF6BAgYEAM#v=onepage&q=dr hadra garde&f=false https://www.geni.com/people/Edmund-Georg-הדרה/6000000030164240491 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Krause Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Becker - Oberlehrer indicates, he might be already a bit older. The Hptm d.R. in IR 364 was a Hermann, maybe him? At least it seems he was no native Oldenburger, otherwise he "must" have gotten a Oldenburger Order of Merit with swords parallel to his HOH3X.

Best, Daniel The Hermann Becker from IR 364 was a Kaufmann in Solingen. The Oldenburg Oberlehrer Hermann Becker was a Lt.d.R. in RIR 440. Hermann Gustav Wilhelm Becker, born on 24.3.1885 in Hekese, Bersenbrück, died on 8.1.1974 in Oldenburg. Known decorations are the HOH3X, BremH, OK1 and Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer. He was a junior Oberlehrer during WWI, with a Dienstalter of 1.10.1912, and he was named an Oberstudienrat on 1.4.1940, so he likely also had the Treuedienst-Ehrenzeichen.

Dave Danner Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) Gustav Hestermann was commissioned a Leutnant in FAR 58 on 30.3.1915 with a Dienstalter of 22.3.1915. He later received a Patent of 11.9.1913. He is not in the SLK list as an officer, so if he received the SLK (which was common in FAR 58), it was as a Fahnenjunker or Fähnrich. It is odd that with a Patent from 1913 and according to the bio spending the entire war in military service, he did not get a Charakter bump to Oberleutnant a.D.

Deutschritter Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 On 23/11/2021 at 21:10, Dave Danner said: The Fußartillerie and Pioniere also had battalions, but in this case, assuming there isn't yet another Wehmeier, I think you are right that he is the RIR 56 Lt.d.R. The Lt.d.R. Wehmeier in FAR 58 was: Wehmeier, Hans, *7.2.1889 in Minden in Westfalen; Gerichtsassessor, 3.1.1921 Dr.jur. et rer.pol.

webr55 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Here is an article from Westfälische Zeitung, 28.8.1943, which mentions three v. Consbruchs getting the HHOX during WW1. In the list, we have Leopold from IR 75 and Oskar from FAR 14, later FAR 76. There was a third Hauptmann, first name Otto, in FAR 25, but he was KIA in 1914 already. The only other possibility would be the Lt dR v. Consbruch in FAR 22, but I don't have any info on him. Edited December 3, 2021 by webr55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 14/11/2021 at 12:21, webr55 said: 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. Confirmed: Bruno Magnus was in FußA: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
