Deutschritter Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Gentlemen, could anyone help me with the first two ribbons left of the Dienstauszeichnungen. At least one seems to have swords, but is very hard to see. Thank you! PS.: THIERRY TIXIER has him with the Knight's Cross of the Royal House Order of Hohenzollern with Swords and the Lübeckisches Hanseatenkreuz. Could that be right???

GreyC Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Hi, no Hanseatic cross from Lübeck on the bar, as far as I can see. GreyC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutschritter Posted June 1, 2023 Author Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Thanks, GreyC, I would agree with you. THIERRY TIXIER in his book even has a date. I wonder how? Could the second ribbon from the left be the HOH3X? Sorry for not having a better picture. Edited June 1, 2023 by Deutschritter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.F. Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I can see: -Iron Cross 2nd Class -Hohenzollern House Order -Unknown -Honour Cross with Swords -Long Service -Long Service 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutschritter Posted June 1, 2023 Author Share Posted June 1, 2023 Thank you! So maybe, just maybe, the unknown could be the Lübeckisches Hanseatenkreuz (if only the picture would be better), which would fit to him serving with the Schleswig-Holsteinisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 163 in Neumünster (subordinated to the 81. Infanterie-Brigade in Lübeck). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyC 14 hours ago, Deutschritter said: the unknown could be the Lübeckisches Hanseatenkreuz (if only the picture would be better), No. The Hanseatic Cross of Lübeck has only two (broad) stripes (white and red). The Bremen Hanseatenkreuz however looks very similar. So he either was granted both (not uncommen) or he got the Bremen one instead of the Lübeck issue.

Dave Danner Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Hans Christian Schulze received the Lübecksches Hanseatenkreuz on 30.8.1916 as a Leutnant in IR 163. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutschritter Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) Thank you, Dave! I take it, the problem is the bad quality of the picture with the ribbon seeming to be striped several times instead of only two broad stripes?!
