[christerd]

Just got this Photo in the mail, quite bad condition but anyway my first Generalstsabsarzt

Genstabsarzt Prof Dr v Leuthold 1901-1905 , I thought he had a 1870 EK but when I checked my archive I cant find him, is it a 1914?

And after looking at this baaaad pic for an hour I think he has a Hohenzollern ? Neck order with Crown ?

Does anyone have any info about this Doctor of the past?

Happy Easter in advance from Christer in Sweden

And all I found was that he died 1905 and was the body physican of the Emperor???

Prof. Dr. Rudolf Ferdinand von Leuthold (1832-1905)

Generalstabsarzt der Armee 1901-1905

I?ve scanned a short biography of him from the book "Die Kaiser Wilhelms-Akademie f?r das milit?r?rztliche Bildungswesen" by Schmidt 1910.

Yes, he was high decorated with the Komturkreuz des Hausordens von Hohenzollern (this order is always with a crown ) and was for 4 years the highest military medical of Prussia and also for a few years the doctor of Kaiser Wilhelm II.

Thanks Komtur ! Wonderful Photo you got , now I really got to see how he looked.

I only had rankliste from 1906 and then he was dead, and I did the mistake and looked for ordinarie EK II 1870 when he got a non fighting of course.

Thanks again that solved the mystery with my somewhat wounded photo!

I just love this forum, its always someone out there who has the answers

All the best from sweden
