Mike Dwyer Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) Bonjour, Do you identify a breast star : - Preussische Bruststern Rote Adler Orden 1. kl, or - Bruststern Sächsischen Königreich Hausorden d. Rautenkrone (married with Maria Alix Luitpolda Anna Henriette Germana Agnes Damiana Michaela Prinzessin von SACHSEN Herzogin zu SACHSEN). Thanks in advanced Thierry According to the 1918 Marine Rangliste Franz Joseph Maria Ludwig Anton Thassilo Prinz von Hohenzollern-Emden had the Rote Adlerorden 1.Klasse, Eisernes Kreuz 2.Klasse, Fürstlich Hohenzollernscher Haus-Orden Ehrenkreuz 1.Klasse, Baden Haus-Orden der Treue. The breast star could be the Haus-Orden der Treue, but it may not be. He married Maria Alix Prinzessen von Sachsen in 1921, so it is possible that he was given the Sächsischen Königreich Hausorden d. Rautenkrone in 1921 when they married. I notice he's wearing the Eisernes Kreuz 1.Klasse in the photo, but it's not listed in the 1918 Rangliste.

Thanks for the information. It's odd, my 1918 Marine Rangliste doesn't mention the Grosskreuz des Königlich Rumänische Stern von Rumänien at all, unless I just overlooked it. :Cat-Scratch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
