Dear forum members,
At this moment I am doing some research for Hauptmann Konrad Kalau vom Hofe. Possibly you can help me any further:
Konrad Kalau vom Hofe was born at July 22nd 1880 in Carlsruhe, Kreis Oppeln, Schlesien (Silesia: Now Poland). His family were landowners. The Kalau vom Hofe name, is mentioned in the nobility index. At January 27nd 1901, he became a Leutnant (2nd Lieutnant to USA standards).
From 1904 till 1908 he fought against the Hottentotten in Namibia. In 1910 he was promoted to Oberstleutnant (1st Lieutnant). I guess he was in the 26th regiment (1st Magdeburgisches).
Possibly you can help me little further:
- From this small bit of information, can you give me some direction via which path Kalau became an officer in 1901? Do you think he became a Cadett or did he use a different way?
- Do you have some information or direction in mind about the kriegsschule, this man has visited? Are there kriegsschule ranglisten available? Do you have some more information about kriegsschulen in general?
- Aspirant officers were connected to a regiment. Do you have any idea to which regiment he was connected? Possibly a 1901 Rangliste might help?
- In 1904 he went to Namibia to fight the Hottentotten. Do you know any sources available where Kalau could be traced? Units and so on? He gained the Kronen order with swords, 4th class.
- After or even in 1908 he came back to Germany to join a regiment. Possibly this was already the 26th reg. than. Probably a rangliste can give more information.
- All extra information about Konrad kalau vom Hofe, his youth, the place he lived, hin school period, his militairy education and other events are more than welcome. Pretty much is known from Regimentsgeschichten fron the 1914-1917 period.
Thanks a lot in advance for your time and energy to help me searching into the right direction.
Best regards from Holland,
