Looking for information on Karl Graf Lehndorff

[webr55]

In the DOA 1908/09, there is a Karl Graf Lehndorff, Oberlt dL aD, born 7.8.1860, Majoratsbesitzer in Steinort, PrLD2. (His first name is sometimes also spelt Carol.) He died in 1936. Is it possible to find out which regiment he belonged to? Must have been during the 1880s, probably.

Hi Webr,

I think his full name was Carol Meinhard Graf von Lehndorff, maybe a look through the "Regiments-Ranglisten" in the link below could help.

Carol Meinhard Graf von Lehndorff (gest. 1936), vorletzter deutscher Besitzer von Steinort, unverheiratet und kinderlos, verwirtschaftete offenbar gro?e Teile des Gutes, hielt nicht viel Ordnung, lie? etliches verkommen, war kauzig, aber auch sehr gastfreundlich. Er hinterlie? eine in seiner Zeit ber?hmte M?nzsammlung, die 280.000 Einzelst?cke umfasste und sich jetzt im Besitz der Deutschen Bank in Frankfurt/Main befindet.

Regards Eddie.

Karl Graf Lehndorff was originally an active officer in the Neum?rkisches Dragoner-Regiment Nr. 3. He went on reserve status in that regiment on 15 November 1887. He transfered into Landwehr status in 1899 (Landwehrbezirk Goldap) and left military service completely sometime between May and December 1900.

Second-Lieutenant: 14. 7.83

Premier-Lieutenant d.R.: 17.12.92
