Deruelle Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi everybody, Here is another very rare ribbon bar I have received recently. The owner of this bar is Oberst Bernhard von Süßmilch gen. von Hörnig (1867-1923). He served the most part of the WW1 at the head of the IR 139.

Claudio Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Very nice Christoph... The pictures are great! Could he be because of his name of Jewish ancestry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Very nice. Did the bar come with his pictures or did you ID the bar and find the pic after? How did you credit him with the China medal if you did not have the picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hi Paul, I have the pictures before buying the ribbon bar. So the china medal confirms that he must be him. Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtwinVince Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Excellent feldspange, Christophe. With a name like that, he must have been Jewish, or? It would have been funny if the second part of his name was 'Honig'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'm not aware of any Jewish person with that name. He was of German protestant nobility, as can be seen on his Johanniter order. Great bar, great research! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JULIUS VON STEGLICH Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Good morning, dear gentlemen! I'd like to post this picture of the Oberst Bernhard von Süssmilch gen. von Hörnig, who was my relative. It has been hoarded in the personal things of my Grandfather Fritz Horst Steglich and it had been kept with him during all the Great War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Hi Thanks for posting this photo. Do you have any idea about the date it was taken from ? Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JULIUS VON STEGLICH Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Good afternoon from Brasil, Christophe! I guess that that Oberst Bernhard von Süssmilch gen. von Hörnig's photo was given for my grandfather Fritz Horst Steglich when he attended the military academy in 1912. I wonder if Oberst Bernhard von Süssmilch gen. von Hörnig was beside the King Friedrich August III von Sachsen giving the St. Hein. medal for my grandfather in 1917, as you can see, Sir, in the following photos. Best regards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 What a beauty. It seems that Süßmilch is near the Kaiser, like you thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deruelle Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Thanks Charles, I hope one day being so lucky to buy a nice commander cross of St Henry. It's difficult to find a good one to good price and of course in good condition.. Nos I have 4 ribbon bars of Saxon officers who received SH2b. Like this cross is much rarer than Pour le Mérite, I am happy. Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Nice bar, nice photos and great research work. I had a St. Henry Commander once, it was very hard to find. I think I bought it from Detlev long ago. Long since moved on. It was a beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
