GL Maximilian Freiherr Schacky von Schönfeld

[Deutschritter]

This is what I have for Karl Maximilian "Max" Joseph Gustav Freiherr Schacky von Schönfeld (15 June 1842 – 26 August 1925), any additions or corrections very welcome:

 

On 8 March 1889, Freiherr Schacky von Schönfeld was delegated with the leadership of the 1. Chevaulegers-Regiment Kaiser Nikolaus von Rußland and was appointed commander on 30 October 1889. On 10 February 1890, he was appointed commander of the 1. Schweres Reiter-Regiment "Prinz Karl von Bayern". From 18 August 1891 (until his promotion to colonel delegated with the leadership?) to 16 December 1899, he was commander of the Royal Bavarian 1. Kavallerie-Brigade in Munich. He was, at the same time (1895), delegated with the leadership of the Inspection of Military Penitentiaries. Since 1894, he was also a Royal Bavarian Chamberlain (Königlich Bayerischer Kämmerer). On 17 December 1899, he was placed at disposal (z. D.) with the statutory pension.
