Chris Boonzaier Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hi Andi, which regiment was he in? bestChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I can only place him to some place names and dates, plus he must have been with Georg Sick as his servant.places: Carvin in August in 1916, Moorslede 6.11.1916, Lille 14.8.1917 with the 81 infantry regiment according to text on the back of photographs.I looked it up that and thought that places him with the 163 schleswig holsteiner regiment? Do you think so? Andi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ostprussenmann_new Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I don’t know who this is, but this is my favorite Imperial German unit. Notice the NSDAP early uniform. Was a PLM winner. And Yes the autograph is authentic. like I said, Over the years I forgot his name, but it is one of my favorites. If someone knows who it is, please let me know so I can write it down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He became a Tannenberg-General (Charakter als General der Infanterie) of the Wehrmacht, never serving actively of course. Do you know if he was Ehrenritter oder Rechtsritter?

Hello ostprussenmann_new at first I thought this picture doesn't make sense - the date 39 and reference to a former Regiment 24 years ago. After Deruelle, mentioned his name I checked my extensive war library, (google)? So the reason for this print/photo - was that on August 27, 1939, the so-called Tannenberg Day, he was given the character of General of the Infantry. More or less as to what Deutschritter wrote. As for his merits in English: Iron Cross (1914) 2nd and 1st class Knight's Cross of the Royal House Order of Hohenzollern with swords Pour le Mérite with oak leaves Pour le Mérite on October 31, 1917 Oak leaves on June 7, 1918 Red Eagle Order IV class Order of the Crown IV class Knight of Honor of the Order of St. John Prussian service award cross Bavarian Order of Military Merit IV class with swords and crown Knight's Cross of the Military Karl Friedrich Order of Merit Knight's Cross II. Class of the Order of the Zähringer Lion Regards v.Perlet Edited February 10, 2022 by v.Perlet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Deutschritter, i do not want to derail this thread - but since you forwarded the question, maybe you can help me on this one. If someone is already possessing a hereditary title, e.g. Freiherr then what is the point of awarding him a Ritter? - I had noticed this on others as well - e.g. a Freiherr von Reitzenstein being awarded a Ritter. - is it about the "price-money" that comes with it? Otherwise isn't that as if you would award an English Lord a Sir.? Regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise isn't that as if you would award an English Lord a Sir.? Regards Andreas A good question, but I have seen this before. Concerning the Ehren- or Rechtsritter, this is separate from the title of nobilty, it is instead a rank of an order of knights, in this case the Johanniter. As an example (1483): Johann Graf von Preußen, Teutonic Order, but also a Johanniter, knighted Johann Graf von Solms, Graf von Solms then knighted Johann Werner Freiherr von Zimmern, Freiherr von Zimmern then knighted Heinrich Freiherr von Stöffel, who in return knighted Johann Truchsess (der Ältere), now Ritter von Waldburg Waldburg zu Trauchburg (1438--1504), all in one evening in Jerusalem ... not much, but I am not an expert. Maybe someone else could go more into detail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v.Perlet Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Okay I got it, it's not a Ritter awarded by a State e.g. Kingdom of Bavaria awards an MVO2KL (includes. Ritter) to Mr. so and so, but an Institution such as e.g. the Malteser order awarding it's own order (that beholds a Ritter) to someone.
