HI Stijn

That would be great. I have a longer weekend than usual, so I would have some more time for the L?beck transcriptions.

Comes a KorvKpt z.D. Hellmuth v. M?ller-Berneck up in the L?beck roll that far? That's the name Daniel found for it [one of my ribbon bars from another thread]...

[Stijn David]

Hello,

Im sorry, there is no person with that name to be found in the L?beck list

Cordial greetings,

[jabnus]

Not sure if this is the right place, but it's L?beck and i think somehow related?

I've had this tinnie for a while and wonder what exactly it is? My best guess is it was for calling people to join the army in 1914?

regards,

Gaston

The center design is the cap cockade for enlisted ranks.

Possibly for some sort of veterans reunion?

[jabnus]

normally the date on tinnies is the date of a certain event?

i was hoping someone knew this "appell" as i thought it was a call to join the army?

Here is the back:

[Guest Rick Research]

No, I think "roll call" there is used in the meaning of a meeting/reunion.

[speedytop]

Hi,

I can assist Rick, it is definetely not a call to join the Army.

Please see here the "Erster Hanseatenappell Hamburg 1913"

http://www.german-militaria.de/details/d17422.html

I think that it is a roll call for a close and better collaboration between the Hanse cities, especial in economic development and expansion.

Regards

Uwe

Hi,

I seem to have lost the link, does anyone know how many Lübeck crosses were awarded compared to Bremen and Hamburg?

Thanks

Good Evening,

This is my first post on the forum after reading many help threads. I just purchased the book Pour le Merite und Tapferkeitmedaille by Klietmann with states the following numbers.

Bremen; The last ceremony was held on 23 November 1923. A total of 20,018 decorations have been awarded.
Hamburg; Is estimated to approximately 50,000 Hanseatenkrueze have been awarded.
Lubeck; The ceremonies of the cross extending to the year 1919.

Hi Chuck,

always great to see a new face and hope we see lots more of you!!!

Some time ago someone posted more up to date figures than Klietmann, I just cannot remember where :-(

[Ulsterman]

Well, did the rolls get finished?

Where did you get it? As far as I know these are considered fake. They pop up on eBay periodically sold by known crooks.

[eurorders]

I bought it on ebay. Usually when fakes are made, they are more abundant or prolific to warrant the die being manufactured. Interesting.  I see that with coins. Time after time, you see the same fake and thus are able to draw that conclusion.

I have strong doubts that this is genuine. The fact you bought it on eBay reinforces this opinion. The infamous "Club" and its various alter-egos dole these out sparingly on eBay, in order the avoid raising alarms. There's also a seller called Porre81 who sells these and most of his items are fake.

Except for eBay, I have never seen this cross before, anywhere and I've been collecting Imperial for over 50 years. It could well be a fantasy piece.

Agreed. Same "award" was already discussed on WAF. This neither Hanseatic War Merit Cross, nor a Kriegerverein member corss.
