At Kaiserslautern , Strantz and his dragoons captured two squares , and he was also able to capture two cannons and a flag. For this, King Friedrich Wilhelm II awarded him the order Pour le Mérite on October 22, 1792 . On May 1, 1795 he was appointed major general and two months later inspector general of the Pomeranian inspection of the cavalry. In addition, on January 23, 1797, the king appointed him chief of the “von Prittwitz” dragoon regiment . In addition to his military duties, he was also the governor of Angerburg.
