This is a document and photo group for Generalmajor Max Schulenburg. This large file has many photos of Schulenburg, his family and colleagues. The assortment is wide. Most of Schulenburg’s portrait photos date from 1934 to 1936. One is also included of him in uniform as a WW I general. Many photos appear of the young woman whom he married in 1934 (this was probably his second wife). Her name was Mathilde Rosenkränzer. Pictures of her as a young girl, alone and with what appear to be her siblings, are enclosed, as well as some photos of her relatives. From some of the included documents, she was related to some well-known scientists who published academically (evidence of which is included). At least one of these academics was a woman. Unfortunately for Mathilde, the General died in March of 1937. Their marriage had lasted barely three years. Included in the more personal items are the wedding announcement, telegrams congratulating the happy pair, the death notice, telegrams of sympathy to the widow, and even a 1944 document from an antique dealer appraising some items for the widow. An elaborate award document for one of the Rosenkränzer professors is also included, along with some academic zeitschriften on chemistry and geology. Furthermore, several documents are enclosed that delineate the various family genealogies in extensive detail. Most fascinating of all is an elaborate document from 1815, mounted on an elegant piece of cardboard and bearing a wax Prussian seal. It may be a confirmation document for one of Schulenburg’s forebears.
Some of the General’s documents include the following:
Promotion Patent to the rank of Portopee Fähnrich of Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr 4. dated June 1883. Schulenburg had been an Unteroffizier.
Promotion Patent from Portopee Fähnrich to Second Lieutenant while serving with Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr 4. This promotion took place in September 1884.
Promotion Patent for Second Lieutenant to Premier Lieutenant (1st Lieutenant or Oberleutnant). This took place in April 1892, while Schulenburg was still assigned to an artillery regiment.
Promotion Patent to Hauptmann, dated May 1898 and personally signed by Kaiser Wilhelm II. Schulenburg was still assigned to an artillery regiment.
Accompanying orders to his Promotion Patent to Hauptmann, also from May 1898, also personally signed by Kaiser Wilhelm II.
Promotion Patent to Major, dated May 1906 and personally signed by Kaiser Wilhelm II.
Promotion Patent from Major to Oberstleutnant, dated October 1912, while in the Fußartillerie. Personally signed by Kaiser Wilhelm II.
Accompanying orders also dated October 1912, also personally signed by Kaiser Wilhelm II.
Several documents from the various military schools Schulenburg attended.
This wonderful group includes FIVE bold signatures by Kaiser Wilhelm II. These alone are worth the price of the group. A mountain of material here awaits deeper exploration. Schulenburg died in 1937. As best as I can decipher, he was born in 1863 and spent more than thirty-five years in the army.

This is a document that confers the rank of Oberleutnant a. D., to a man named Engel. Engel had served in Husaren-Landwehr-Bataillon Nr 36. The document measures 10 1/2″ x 8 1/4.” It boasts Kaiser Wilhelm II’s large, bold signature in black ink. The document was prepared and forwarded to Engel on 16 December 1906 from the New Palace in Berlin. Perhaps the officer returned to service during WW I. It is a fine Kaiser Wilhelm II signature.

This is a promotion patent for Ferdinand Muskewitz, elevating him to the status of Second Lieutenant serving in Landwehr-Regiment Nr 25. The document measures 8 ¾” x 15″ unopened, and 15″ x 17 ¾” when fully opened. It reveals four panels of paper when opened, although just two of the four panels are actually used.
What makes the document so interesting is that it was prepared for Prinz Wilhelm I, who was acting as Prinz Regent for his older brother, König Friedrich Wilhelm IV. Friedrich Wilhelm IV had suffered a stroke and was incapacitated until his death in 1861 when Wilhelm I assumed the throne. The document was not signed by Wilhelm I due to the officer’s lower rank. Promotion patents were generally not signed until a man achieved the rank of Hauptmann.
The document was prepared on 20 September 1859 in Baden-Baden. The ink of the document is clear and easily readable. Some foxing shows to the edges on the top and bottom of the document.
