Remarks

  1. There are contradicting information on the date of death. In the Great Bavarian Biography , Munich 2005, 1913 is given. However, the death certificate issued by the Catholic parish in Egling on November 22, 1925 names May 9, 1912 as the date of death and refers to the files (register II, page 6). According to the death certificate , the body was transferred to Munich and buried in the old southern cemetery . The tombstone also notes May 9, 1912 as the date of death.
