    The 1870 Marine Rangliste shows the "Hohenzollernsche Denkmünze" among his awards and decorations.  I believe that is the one you are asking about.

    This medal was my first thought. But looking at his career in Hildebrand/Henriots Deutsche Admirale, I was wondering, how he was able to receive it. :unsure:

    Can you please check if Char. Konteradmiral Heinrich Köhler (born 1824) was also awarded this medal? And what other decorations are listed for him in the 1870 Marine Rangliste?

    Many thanks
