VtwinVince Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I have a group of documents to a Hauptmann Karl von Bayer-Ehrenberg, but don't have much information on him other than he was from Baden. Apparently he was also a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Order of Berthold the First, according to the documents. Any additional information would be appreciated.

arb Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Vince, Which units are identified on your documents? There was no active officer by that name in 1914 but there was a reserve Lt. who had some active duty time in GR 109, but his first name was Leo. Thanks, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The Karl von Bayer-Ehrenberg with the Order of Berthold von Zähringen was Karl Friedrich Theodor von Bayer-Ehrenberg, *16.5.1848 in Stuttgart, †6.2.1908 in Karlsruhe. He was a Kgl. württemb. Hptm.a.D., and was a field artillery officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Thanks for the help gentlemen. Indeed, he was a Feldartillerie Oberleutnant in the 1870 war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Vince, he is shown as Karl Wilhelm Theodor in the 1873 Württemberg Rang- und Quartier-Liste. He entered the Württemberg army as a volunteer on 29 June 1866 and was commissioned on 13 April 1868 with a Patent of 2.5.68. Promoted to Premier-Lieutenant with a Patent of 18.7.70 H and to Hauptmann on 16.4.77. He was the holder of a Friedrichs Order Knight's Cross 1st Class with Swords and retired on 2 March 1888.

VtwinVince Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Thanks Glenn. You wouldn't happen to have a complete orders list for this guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 He is shown with the following in the 1904/05 Ordens-Almanach: Baden Berthold des Ersten Ritterkreuz Baden Orden vom Zähringer Löwen Ritterkreuz 1. Klasse Württemberg Friedrichsorden Ritterkreuz 1. Klasse Presumably he also had the 1870/71 Commemorative and the Prussian Centenary.

Dave Danner Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 The 1877 Württemberg court and state handbook shows the KDM70/71. No idea why it's not listed in the DOA. FAR 13 was entitled to the following clasps: WÖRTH, SEDAN, VILLIERS, PARIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
