Bernhard von Jacobi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernhard Jacobi , since 1866 by Jacobi , (born September 25, 1823 in Hanover , † September 16, 1881 in Northeim ) was a general staff officer in the Hanoverian army and most recently a Prussian lieutenant colonel .

Life

He was the son of the later Hanoverian general and war minister Carl von Jacobi . His father had been raised to hereditary nobility in 1866 for himself and his descendants .

Jacobi became a cadet in the Guards Jäger Battalion of the Hanoverian Army in 1843 . In September 1845 he was transferred to the 5th Infantry Regiment, with which he took part in the Schleswig-Holstein uprising against Denmark from 1848 . In 1849 he was assigned to the General Staff and transferred to it in 1852. In 1856 he was promoted to captain and in 1866 to major before leaving Göttingen for Langensalza . Sent to Gotha as a parliamentarian on June 24, 1866 , Jacobi influenced the formation of the Hanoverian army with a telegram, which can be viewed critically and which he tried to clarify in a justification of July 26, 1866. On the day of the Battle of Langensalza , June 27, 1866, Jacobi was assigned to the commander of the 4th Brigade, General Ludwig von Bothmer , as General Staff Officer , who may have failed to improve the Hanoverian position by crossing the Unstrut .

When the Hanoverian army was disbanded, he was put up for disposal , but entered Prussian service for four months with the 3rd Hanoverian Infantry Regiment No. 79 on July 27, 1868 . After the Franco-Prussian War he became the Landwehr district commander in Colmar .
