Lohmeyer: Ritterkreuzträger 1939-45

The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross (German: Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes) and its variants were the highest awards in the military of the Third Reich during World War II. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded for a wide range of reasons and across all ranks, from a senior commander for skilled leadership of his troops in battle to a low-ranking soldier for a single act of extreme gallantry.  A total of 7,322 awards were made between its first presentation on 30 September 1939 and its last bestowal on 17 June 1945.

Two members of the Lohmeyer family were honoured with the award of a Ritterkreuz:

Hans-Georg Lohmeyer, Leutnant der Luftwaffe, Staffelführer des 6./Schlachtgeschwader 77

  verliehen am 6 October 1944.

Karl Lohmeyer, Oberst des Heeres, Kommandant des Infanterie-Regiment 505

  verliehen am 15 July 1941.
