The Prussian Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Hello!Maybe someone can tell me something about these two officers, please?
Schießplatzmeister Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Hello!Maybe someone can tell me something about these two officers, please?Hello:Congratulations regarding this nice photo. These are Bavarian Officers and the photo was taken between approximately between 1932 and 1934 in my estimation. The Officer on the left is wearing the 1929 award for the commemoration of the 60th birthday of Kronprinzen Rupprecht. The Officer on the right is wearing what appears to be the 1932 Jubilee medal of the 2nd Chevaulegers-Regiment "Taxis". Neither Officer is wearing the "Ehrenkreuz des Weltkrieges".Best regards,

I agree with the date of the photo.Unfortunately I can´t tecognize the ranks. It´s staff officer. The bavarian ranklist of 1918 shows the following staff-officer for the 2nd Chev.Rgt.:Major Kurt Freiherr v. Lepel Medals: Militär-Verdienst-Orden 4.Kl. with swordsHe left the army as Lt.Col.Maybe that´s a match? Edited August 8, 2015 by The Prussian

Maybe someone is able to find out who it is. Every help appreciated. This photo is signed with Graf von R. on the back. I think he is a major from the Ulanen and he is at least wearing BMVO 2 and breaststar from RAO Regards Andreas Hi Gents, is it possible that this guy is Major Graf von Bothmer? Kind regards Andreas
Schießplatzmeister Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Hello: I do not think that this is Felix Graf von Bothmer. Best regards,

HeikoGrusdat Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 right now on ebay there are a lot of photos with von Bothmer you can compare this one with.... oh this one is cool Andreas .......... Rittmeister Franz von Schubärt , Königlich bayrisches 1.Ulanenregiment

Kind regards Andreas Hello Andreas: Eureka! It took a little bit of digging to find this Officer. He is NOT Bavarian, but is Prussian! He is Garde=Kavallerie=Division., 1. Garde=Kavallerie=Brigade., Kom.: Gen. Maj. Gr. v. Roedern. I found him in my 1912 Rangliste der K.P. Armee. He was the recipient of many high awards, but here is only wearing his minimalist front for everyday duty. MfG,
ccj Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Nice and I am not arguing the ID. He isnt wearing a guards unifor and his straps don't look like general major straps but could be wrong. it's a wonderful photo

I was wondering the same thing myself! I know very little about uniforms, but it did not look like a Generalmajor uniform to me either. I also couldn't find the MVO award in my 1914-1918 listing of awards to any Graf von Roedern. There were a few other von Roedern Officers listed in my 1912 Ranglist: Infanterie=Regiment Keith, (1. Oberschlesisches) Nr. 22, Hptm. Gr. v. Roedern Ulanen=Regiment Prinz August von Württemberg (Posensches) Nr. 10, Rittm. Gr. v. Roedern Garde=Kürassier=Regiment, Berlin, Oblt. Gr. v. Roedern 1. Garde=Feldartillerie=Regiment, Berlin, Oblt. Gr. v. Roedern (Konstantin) 1. Garde=Feldartiller=Regiment, Berlin, Oblt. Gr. v. Roedern (Max=Erdmann) Uhlanen=Regiment Kaiser Alexander III. von Rußland, (Westpreußiches) Nr. 1., Oblt. Gr. v. Roedern (Brieg) So, perhaps, he is one of these Officers? The mystery continues! Best regards,
Glenn J Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Gentlemen, as this is Oberst (General) Bolko Graf v. Roedern, I think we can rule him out. Regards Glenn
dedehansen Posted December 17, 2015 Author Posted December 17, 2015 I believe it is Staatsminister Siegfried Friedrich Wilhelm Erdmann Graf von Roedern https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siegfried_von_Roedern Regards Andreas another General, I think he´s wearing the Komturkreuz? des Ordens der Württembergischen Krone Kind regards Andreas

Regards Andreas Hello Andreas: Yes it must be IR Graf Werder No. 30 as the photo was taken in Saarlouis. I do not see a recipient with the Adolph of Nassau RK with Swords listed in the 1902 Rangliste, nor the 1911 Rangeliste. The photo is obviously after 1897, so he might be listed in any of the 1903-1910 Preußischen Armee Ranglisten, I don't have these in my library however. Best regards,

Deruelle Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 Impressive Claudio. You can congratulate your brother for his work. Thanks for sharing it with us. Like you know I am a Saxon collector, does your brother can make a paint of a Saxon general ? Christophe 1

Christophe Hi Christophe! thanks for you kind words... on behalf of my brother I can tell you that these comments are really very much appreciated. Do you have any interesting or a favourite photograph of a Saxon General with full regalia that you want to share? Maybe I can convince my brother to make a portrait of him. ciao, Claudio I forgot to mention that my brother already portrayed a Saxon high officer who later became General and during WW1 Saxon minister of war.
