Odulf Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Recently I received this very nice portrait of Freiherr Alfred von Landsberg, a Landesführer in the Stahlhelm, dated 1933. I think that he is wearing the neck cross of a Rechtsritter of the Johanitterorden, but I am not quite sure because in some publications that cross is black. Can any one sihine his ligt on this, please? Does any one have further information about his career, and of the Land where he was presiding the Stahlhelm?

speedytop Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hi, in Kürassierregiment von Driesen (Westfälisches) Nr. 4 we can find two v. Landsberg, Frhr. v. Landsberg-Velen, last rank Rittmeister, and Frhr. v. Landsberg, last rank Major. I think, that it is Major a.D. Freiherr Alfred v. Landsberg, the last commander of the Garde-Kürassierregiment: http://www.kuerassierregimenter.de/fakten.php?det=&did=12 "Ergebnis 3 von 4" http://books.google.de/books?id=8yMmSlsreCkC&pg=PA3&lpg=PA3&dq=%22Alfred+von+Landsberg%22&source=bl&ots=A1HgDDvWEW&sig=JA5OaBtVGa4bqT4v94g9L0i7C_U&hl=de&sa=X&ei=LbztUJCMIKeG4ASsvoDoAw&ved=0CHUQ6AEwCA#v=onepage&q=%22Alfred%20von%20Landsberg%22&f=false Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytop Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 It is not the Johanniterorden, it is the Malteserorden: http://www.4teachers.de/?action=keywordsearch&searchtype=images&searchstring=Ritterorden Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
