Is this true or was it all generals?

Prussian officers of the rank of Generalleutnant or higher were referred to as ?Exzellenz ?

Thanks in advance for any information!

Yes it is true, and for the other states as well.

It is written in the Lehrbuch f?r den Infanteristen how a General officer is to be addressed, when I get home I will make a scan

The Generalmajor is addressed as "Herr General" all the other Generals are addressed as "Euer Exzellenz".

Thank you again! One little bit of title trivia that I discovered in my research is that a chief burgomaster was called "Magnificence," for Hamburg and L?beck. Not positive about Bremen. I tried to get my wife to call me that but it did not fly!
