v.Perlet Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Hello ostprussenmann_new, ..... I do not know. In case you might want to know. Generalleutnant Ernst Freiherr von Forstner - the photo was taken (see your picture) in 1939, presumably after August 1939 - the Reichswehr was transformed into the Wehrmacht in 1935. As such he is wearing a Wehrmacht uniform. NSDAP is a party whose members wore their own distinctive Party uniform (yellow-brownish color) e.g. Goebbels and Goering on the below photo. Goering before being appointed Chief of the Luftwaffe was also a General of the Infantry in both the Reichswehr and the Wehrmacht - see photo. - on the colored one you can see that the Reichsadler already beholds a swastika - so it would be Wehrmachtsuniform. Maybe this helps a bit. Regards v.Perlet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v.Perlet Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) Hello gents, found this photo whilst searching for a Goering photo in party uniform. The tall chap with spectacles on the left and the chap standing next to the Austrian seem to wear the Pour le Merite?

B. das Königreich Bayern vergibt einen MVO2KL (einschließlich Ritter) an Herrn so und so, sondern eine Institution wie z. B. der Malteserorden, die einen eigenen Orden verleiht (der einen Ritter sieht ) für jemanden. Danke Grüße Andreas Das stimmt so nicht ganz. Es gab in Bayern den Titel "Ritter von" entweder zum Orden der Bayerischen Krone oder zum Militär-Max-Joseph-Orden. Der Militärverdienstorden und auch der Michaelsorden beinhalteten keinen Adelstitel. Den Hubertus- und Georgsorden bekamen sowieso nur Adelige.

Das ist schon klar, aber z.b. im Falle (Vornamen weis ich nicht mehr) ein Freiherr von Reitzenstein hat einen Max-Joseph-orden erhalten - daher Ritter Freiherr von Reitzenstein. Als Freiherr ist er ja schon im Erbadel - der Ritter muss (je nach Orden) zwischen 2-3 mal innerhalb der Familienfolge verliehen werden um daraus den Erbadel beantragen zu koennen. Was aber in diesem Fall ja keinen Sinn ergibt da dieser Reitzenstein sich ja schon im Erbadel befindet. Also gehts wahrscheinlich um die Muecken die der Orden mit sich bringt - ich glaube das waren beim Max Orden so um die 20,000 Maerker. Habs gefunden - aber zu klein/undeutlich als dass ich Seinen Namen erkennen kann. War vor ca. 20 Jahren bei einer Hermann Historika Auktion.

Bei der Tapferkeitsmedaille waren es bei der Silbernen 5 und bei der Goldenen 10 Mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deutschritter Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) Wilhelm Freiherr von Reitzenstein (1865--1935), Militär-Max-Joseph on 25 September 1914, here the "Ritter" made no difference and was not given as a title, because already Freiherr (Erbadel comes before Personaladel). But then we have the later Generalmajor Wilhelm Reitzenstein (1880--1941), Militär-Max-Joseph on 4 June 1915, now "Ritter von Reitzenstein" (Wappeneintrag: 6. Juli 1915).

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 Hi, Like I wrote in french (sorry it is from my database), he received the "Kreuz der Ehrenritter" Christophe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
