Unknown cross?

[ErwinZ]

My knowledge of medals is very limited. I thought about the Ehrenkreuz or the Oldenburger Haus- und Verdienstorden. But imo it's not an exact match with both. If anyone can shed some light on this? (Obviously the bottom left one  )

The person might be Leutnant d. R. Knell, M.W.K.221

[Kriegsmarine Admiral]

It's the Wilhelm-Ernst-Kriegskreuz.

[ErwinZ]

Ah lovely. Might it be possible to name him with only 366 recipients?

The date of the photo is 1 sept. 1918. He is one of the (commanding) officers of M.W.K. 221.

added date

It MIGHT be Lt d.R. Franz Schweitzer, the only Officer who got the Wilhelm Ernst Cross serving in MWK 221.

 

Best,
