Gentlemen, does anyone have the promotion dates for Alfred von Lewinski (1831--1906), especially Hauptmann and Major? Thanks!

I would also love to know, when his son Generalmajor Alfred Eduard August Hermann von Lewinski (1862--1914) was promoted to Hauptmann. Thanks! Here are the decorations I have for the younger Alfred (still wondering, if he may have received EK I ... maybe posthumously?):

Roter Adlerorden, IV. Klasse

Orden vom Zähringer Löwen, Ritterkreuz I. Klasse (BZ3a)

Preußisches Dienstauszeichnungskreuz

Ehrenritter des Johanniterordens am 1. März 1907

A posthumous award sounds very unlikely to me. I'm not 100 % sure but think it was not possible at all in Prussia, or at least highly unusual. I cannot help with the promotion dates though, sorry.

True! Only in the beginning of 1813 there were few posthumously IC2 awards, after that I have never heard or read of any more again.

Thank you, Gentlemen!
