Baron Heinrich Georg Ludwig von Puttkamer (born February 2, 1846 in Berlin ; died August 25, 1914 in Berlin-Friedenau ) was a Prussian major general from the Puttkamer family .
Life
Puttkamer joined the Prussian Army and took part in the German-Danish War in 1864 and in the German War against Bavaria and Austria in 1866 . In the further course of his military career he was from March 25, 1893 to May 19, 1896 commander of the infantry regiment "Prince Carl" No. 118 stationed in Mainz .
After retiring from military service, Puttkamer worked for the Order of St. John and at the beginning of the First World War for the German Red Cross .
On August 2, 1900, he married Marie Madeleine Günther, who was 35 years his junior at the time and who became widely famous and notorious at the beginning of the 20th century for erotic poetry and prose published under the pseudonym Marie Madeleine ( Auf Kypros , 1900).
In the years after his retirement from military service, he aroused some offense by publishing political satires and critical analyzes of the Prussian military. The reaction of his family to these writings and the "obscene" poems of his wife led him to a demonstrative break with the Puttkamer family.
He died on 25 August 1914, a pneumonia .
