Eduard von Lutz

Eduard Ritter[a] von Lutz (13 January 1810 – 8 July 1893) was a Bavarian Major General[1] and War Minister under Maximilian II of Bavaria and under Ludwig II of Bavaria.

Biography

Von Lutz was born in Neuburg an der Donau. After passing his company officer career, he was advanced to Major in 1855, and became Oberstleutnant and deputy commander of the Germersheim fortress in 1859. One year after that he became commander of the Kriegsschule. In 1862 he became Oberst and commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment. Von Lutz was war minister after August 15, 1863. After the Prussian defeat of Bavaria he withdrew on August 1, 1866. He died in Starnberg.[2]

Notes

  1. ^ Regarding personal names: Ritter was a title before 1919, but now is regarded as part of the surname. It is translated as Knight. Before the August 1919 abolition of nobility as a legal class, titles preceded the full name when given (Graf Helmuth James von Moltke). Since 1919, these titles, along with any nobiliary prefix (von, zu, etc.), can be used, but are regarded as a dependent part of the surname, and thus come after any given names (Helmuth James Graf von Moltke). Titles and all dependent parts of surnames are ignored in alphabetical sorting. There is no equivalent feminine form.
