Claudio Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Dear Forumites, This officer portrayed on the picture here below, Major (Oberst?) Karl von Röder, was in the UR19 or UR20? Enjoy the picture! Many thanks for your inputs. Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Great, high quality photo, and look how much enamel is on the Schnalle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentius Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) My oh my, I have rarely seen a picture with the Luxemburgian Order of the Gold lion of Nassau (second to last on the Schnalle). I might be wrong here, but I think this might be the rarest order on the medalbar. Here is a picture of Johan van Panhuys who wears the commander grade of the order.

arb Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) Claudio, Here are two Stammlisten entries regarding Frhr. v. Röder. The first is from Hus. R. 1 and the 2nd from Drag. R. 14. He commanded the 27. Kav. Brig. until 19.10.1905. Based on this information, he served in UR 19. The HR 1 entry shows him having an EK2. I think this is a mistake, as there is not evidence anywhere that he had an EK. Andy Edited April 29, 2020 by arb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the RK of the Luxembourg (Nassau?) Lion Order so big? It looks almost a Komtur cross being worn on the medal bar... Thank you Andy for your valuable information!??? Gentlemen, which order do you think it is on the forth last position from the right, the Maltese shapened cross with white enamel? For sure not the Wurttemburgian order of military merit, I thought maybe from the ribbon a Waldeck HO... thanks again for your valuable and very appreciated comments. ciao, Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Württemberg had a connection to the Netherlands, which untill 1890 was ruled in a personal union together with Luxembourg. 1 hour ago, Claudio said: Gentlemen, which order do you think it is on the forth last position from the right, the Maltese shapened cross with white enamel?

Ribbon, shape and size all seem to check out for the Waldeck-Pyrmont Verdienstkreuz 3. Klasse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 Do you also know, by the photo if von Röder is wearing the red crimson Parade rabatt in the front or not. Furthemore which is the 4th medal from the left on the bar? It looks like a Württemberg medal, but which one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentius Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Fourth medal from the left looks like the Verdienstmedaille zum Württembergische Kronenorden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixhs Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Great, high quality photo, and look how much enamel is on the Schnalle. Since they will not close this files (as sometimes they do) - you can find a lot of good pics in our Archive of Stuttgart. Fortunately they survived 1944.
