Solomon Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Hi gents, I would liek to show you my latest purchase, which is a large group of documents (mainly related to genealogy). For me the most important documents were the following ones: Karl (Carl) Oberbracht was born 11 Feb. 1855 in Siebenhoefen (Lippe) and died 24 June 1919 in Detmold. In 1881 he became "Postgehilfe", in 1887 he became "Postassistent" and finally in 1904 he was promoted to a "Postsekretär". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) On 19th June 1906 he awarded the silver merit cross of the house-order Lippe-Detmold (Silbernes Verdienstkreuz zum Hausorden Lippe-Detmold), awarded 339 times. Attached you see the confirmation, the award notice and the award documents (with the signature of prince Leopold IV. Lippe-Detmold).

Solomon Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 On 18th May 1915 he recived as well the golden merit cross Prussia (Goldenes Verdienstkreuz Preussen), award-No. 5325. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) And on 30th May 1915 he finally awarded the golden merit cross of the house-order Lippe-Detmold (Goldenes Verdienstkreuz zum Hausorden Lippe-Detmold), awarded 107 times. As well, all three related documents are existing, plus the statues of the house-order (version valid since 1913). The reason for the award was his retirement.

Solomon Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 And finally there were also some pictures of him (unfortunately without wearing the awards). The building is the "Postamt Hohenhausen-Lippe" (post-office in Hohenhausen-Lippe), Oberbracht is looking out of the window in the middle. Comments are always welcome :-) Best regards Roman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
