    House Order of Hohenzollern - info needed


    Recommended Posts

    Stahl, Rudolf
    *20.4.1884 in Barmen
    21.12.1909 Leutnant d.R. des Feldartillerie-Regiments Nr. 61, ab Mobilmachung Ordonnanz-Offizier im Regimentsstabe, 22.10.1915 Oberleutnant d.R., zur Zeit im Regiment, 1917 leicht verwundet, Oberleutnant d.R.a.D.
    nach dem 1.WK Generaldirektor in Berlin
    HOH3X am 12.11.1917

     - No other known decorations, but as a highly decorated and wounded FAR 61 officer, no doubt he received the Allgemeines Ehrenzeichen "Für Tapferkeit".

    Thanks a lot!!!

     

    Berger, Wilh. - most likely the FAA 209 guy

    Briese, Carl - acc. my data plm, RAO2EX, KO2aX, but no HOH. As he was already a GenMaj in Aug 14, he was way too senior for a HOH3X. Next step would be the HOH2X but no proof of that.

     

    Best,

    Daniel

    Ah - the guys in Berlin have woken up and made progress in digitizing their newspapers:

     

    Here we have a Lt and Kpführer Karl Müller from Tilsit. Königsberger Hartungsche Zeitung, 8.10.1918

    Königsberger Hartungsche Zeitung, 20.10.1918:

     

    We have Kreddig already. Olt Ganswindt from Wadang/Allenstein is most probably Herbert Ganswindt (born around 1889), whose death notice (at 90) appeared in the Ostpreußenblatt in 1978:

    Königsberger Hartungsche Zeitung, 31.10.1918:

     

    We had him already, but here is more info about Olt dR Paul Reichwaldt:

     

    Prof. Dr. Paul Oskar Reichwaldt, born 8.11.1885 in Arnau/Kreis Osterode, died 19.6.1965 in Berlin (West) (acc. to ancestry)

     

    This text about him appeared in the Ostpreußen-Warte 1955:

    Königsberger Hartungsche Zeitung, 6.11.1918:

     

    Flyer Lt Büttner, leader of a Jasta (he is probably the one from RFAR 70) and Lt Willy Nelson from Königsberg - this should be an entirely new one.

    Ahh! I had forgotten - but so he is indeed listed in the Königsberger, just as I predicted.

    Curt Freiherr von Salmuth died in 1981 (other awards here as well):

    A new one? Prof. Dr. Heinrich Quiring (1885-1964) is listed in the Deutsche Biographie with a Hohenzollern:

    https://www.deutsche-biographie.de/pnd116318562.html

     

    The entry does not explicitly say "with swords", but Deutsche Biographie might have been sloppy. He is in the Verlustlisten as Lt dR from FAR 54, I would think it must have an X award.
