Hi,

How many "Staatsminister" were there at one time?

Thanks

Quite a few. I'm looking at the Hof- und- Staathandbücher...

basically the top guy in every Ministry.

The HuS-HB also list (all together in one section) "Inaktiver Staats-Minister" some of whom do not seem to be retired.

If you're looking for a specific signature on a dated document, I have the Prussian HuS HB for

1875, 1893, 1907, 1908, 1909, 1910

Hi,

I have the EK2 (White Ribbon) to Staatsminister a.D. von Möller.

He seems to have had a bit of trouble during the war, maybe retired for that reason.

Am not sure just what he was. mentioned on google twice to do with medical issues.

best

Chris

1901: "ernannt 5. Mai 1901," Exzellenz, living in Berlin RAO1, KO3 (!), combined Lippes EK1 22.11.77 as Fürstl. Schaumburg-Lipp. Kammerherr (from the yet to be published Rolls), RWA "etc" in the "Inaktiver Staats-Minister" section.

Orders Almanac 1908/09 shows as

Theodor von Möller, born Kupferhammer bei Brackwede 10.08.1840, Dr. h.c. Universities of Pennyslvania and Pittsburgh ( ), Handelsminister aD and nothing else listed (so much for "etc") besides a Japanese Red Cross Medal.
