    Beautiful bar! It should be identifiable... The Hansa trio narrows the research quite a lot plus the Meckemburg's crosses, the rare white falcon and the even rarer reuss cross with swords and crown. Could he possibly be a reserve KM officer?

    Only have both Mecklenburgs and the Lübeck to work from. LD1 suggests Captain level (combatant or medical?...) Anhalt records exist in SOME form--Research Gnomes not there yet. Bremen and Hamburg REALLY need to be done--both exist, but have had mail theft and format issues in past that have kept VERY EXPENSIVE Rolls duplication from being re-ordered on those two. And of course that IS the Weimar class that some stupid person ripped the pages out of the Roll at that archive.

    Not entirely impossible, but going to be TOUGH to work through excluding suspects.

    A bar like this is worth that effort.

    The closest I can find-- 7:12 was Hauptmann dL II-Jäger (originally Lt dR 14.11.01 V5v JB 11) Dr. jur. et D. Oberkonsistorialrat (in 1935 Präsident ev.-luth. Landskirchenamt Kiel) Traugott Freiherr von Heintze. In 1907 Regierungsreferendar in Celle, 1914 Konsistorialrat in Kiel. He seems to have spent the entire war commanding II./ LIR 76.

    Matches: EK1, MMV1, MStMV1, HH, LüH, alive in 1935 for FKEK, and LD(2 before war certainly 1 afterwards, though ? 1897 Medal).

    Still, LIR 76 would bear no relationship for anything from Anhalt, Lippe-Detmold, Reuss, or Saxe-Weimar.

    Perhaps you who are wise in the ways of google-search might tuirn up more on the Baron to verify or eliminate him as a suspect.

    If NOT him, then we're trapped in that 4-Müllers-separate-entries-same-guy sort of problem from Germans never enetring first names. :banger:

    See:

    Prussian Hof- und Staatshandbuch 1918, 1907 directory of Prussian dR/dL officers, 1935 "Wer Ist's?" (NO personal data!) and of course the award rolls we've been transcribing for publication: LÿH, MMV, MStMV.

    What an amazing medal bar! Look at all those Hansa Crosses!! :love:

    Was there not a list made here of all owners of 3 x Hansa Crosses? I cannot recall how complete it is though but could be worth a shot.

    Best wishes
