GdI Constant Freiherr von Quadt und Hüchtenbruck (1781-1868)

[Deutschritter]

Gentlemen, does anyone have a picture of Karl Ludwig Friedrich Constant Freiherr von Quadt und Hüchtenbruck, Knight of the Iron Cross (1813), 2nd and 1st Class. I would also love to have his promotion dates. Thanks!

Moring Andreas,

 

unfortunately his portrait in Priesdorff is in even poorer quality than the one in the regimental history reproduced below.

 

 

I have attached his biography from the Offizier-Stammliste of 2.GRzF.

 

Regards

Glenn
