Searching for information about this man!

Hi there, I’m just wondering if anyone knew who this is and what his rank was? (And any other fun facts) He’s from a well known Bavarian family with the last name Faber - his father was Johann Faber. Thanks!

Hi,

 

not sure what the Johann Faber connection is, but that very much appears to be the then Generalmajor Hermann Ritter von Haag (1843-1935) around 1892. He was awarded the star to his Prussian Crown Order 2nd class on 8 September 1893. He was the Bavarian military plenipotentiary in Berlin from 1890 to 1895, hence the high Prussian awards. Also note the Norwegian Saint Olaf Order commander's cross beneath the Crown Order.

 

Regards

Glenn

@Glenn J thank you so much! There is a striking resemblance after comparing this photo to one of Hermann Ritter von Haag.
