The Major von Tresckow who got the HHOX in 1917 should be either:

 

Hans, from IR 92, born 16.7.?? in Friedland (if it is him, his award should be listed in the regimental history of IR 92)

or

Otto, from RIR 118, originally IR 118, OTL aD after WW1

or

Wilhelm, born 19.8.1875 in Schmarfendorf, died (KIA?) 1917. He was still Hauptmann in May 1917, so might have got a last promotion and the HHOX, but I cannot tell.

It is Hans. Born 16.7.1870 in Friedland in Ostpreußen. Kdr. I./IR 92 and Kdr. IR 396.

 

Otto was wounded in 1914 as Kdr. I./RIR 118 and went to the Ers.Btl. of RIR 80 in 1915. On 2.11.1915 he was placed z.D. and named Bezirksoffizier of Landwehrbezirk Montjoie.

 

Wilhelm died as a Hauptmann.

[webr55]

Ah! So it is Emil Heinrich HANS von Tresckow, 1870-1944.

Paul von Tschudi died in 1949 in Potsdam as Oberst aD.

Fritz Tschunke, born 1883, was involved in the German-Soviet cooperation during the 1920s/30s:

(this is about his brother, but Fritz is mentioned there as well: https://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Personenregister/T/TschunkeErich-R.htm)

 

Couldn't find his death date though.

Typke is most probably Gerhard, KIA in 1918.

Gerhard Typke was an active Leutnant in IR 76.

 

The HOH3X-Träger was a Lt.d.R. in IR 389. He is probably the 24.12.14 Lt.d.R. (Bielefeld) in IR 15, as the only other Lt.d.R. I have found was a Feldartillerie officer.

[webr55]

Ah ok. So this must be his EK1 notice, from Westfälische Zeitung, 7.8.1915:

 

He was with the Reichsbank. 

 

No first name again, but could this be him?

https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/KZFQ-39V/willy-moritz-paul-typke-1891-1988

 

Reichsbankrat Willy Moritz Paul Typke, 1891-1988

 

 

[Dave Danner]

Probably. I had looked through the Typke family tree on Ancestry for people the right age and had seen him, but until you posted that notice, I hadn't seen any connection to Bielefeld. The family appears to be fairly bourgeois, so they may have an entry in one of the editions of the DGB. Those sometimes list military service and awards.

First name: Hptm dR Hugo Urban, died in 1932.

 

Annener Zeitung, 29.4.1932

 

 

 

First name: Lt dR Heinrich Krumme, Annener Zeitung, 29.1.1918

Should be the one from RIR 90.

 

 

[webr55]

This first name was a tricky one: Lt dR (PB 328) August Böger from Lütgendortmund. The notice in Dortmunder Zeitung, 20.8.1918, makes him Oberpostassistent "Vöger" in Lütgendortmund, though without first name. But the address book Dortmund 1925/26 lists him with full name in Lütgendortmund, as Postassessor.
