pre 1914 royal saxon awards

[David M]

Could anyone tell me if the kurhessian embassador to Dresden for a while (1831-1833), Christoph Heinricyh Wilhelm von Steuber is mentioned in the book by Erhard Roth:

Die Verleihungen des Hausordens der Rautenkrone, des Verdienstordens, des Verdienstordens mit Schwertern (bis 1914) sowie der Damenorden des K?nigreichs Sachsen

with grade and date of decoration? I do not know whuch awards he receuved, expecting it to be the Hausorder of the Rautenkron

Thanks a lot

Hi Daniel

Thanks!! As I am not to familiar wih the royal saxon orders, what would the name of the order be in German? Just Verdienst-Orden? How is the book featured? Is it easy to look people up? Are they in alfabetical or chronolochicle order?

Thanks

Hi David,

Up to I think 1849 the Order was called Civil-Verdienstorden, then it was only Verdienstorden.

How is the book organized?

Orders by class, then by date, then by alphabetic order of the bearers.

Stupid and bored people like me digitalize this and use the simple search function.

Best regards

Hi Daniel!!

Thanks for the data! Did you really digitalize the whole book? To bad you cant put it on the internet because of the copyrights. I really love these kind of books, I just bought myself the book on the Order of the Union of the napoleonic Kingdom Holland (1806-1811) Which is really great.

Bye for now

David
