He took part in the 1866 campaign with the 7th Division , after which he was stationed in Wiesbaden. He also took part in the campaigns in 1864 and 1870/71 . After taking his leave as lieutenant colonel in 1875 , he settled in Wiesbaden, where he died on April 16, 1883 at the age of 53.

reception

“Kühne, who wrote under the name of Johannes van Dewall - probably to better distinguish it from the writer Gustav Kühne (born Magdeburg 1806, died Dresden 1888) - proves to be a skilled narrator who knows and knows the big world there are appropriate moral images of her. In the cadet stories he develops a pretty humorous talent. Kühne correctly recognized his talents, evaluated them diligently and with his works he dignified himself among the great storytellers. "

- Herford Plutarch, 1951
