^ In the Kösener Corpslists 1960 Steinmeyer is under 4, No. 521 with the same information as in the KCL 1930, but with a cross without a date. Accordingly, Marchias "very careful" KCL editor Carl-Hubert Schwennicke did not know the date of death in 1959/60. One can therefore assume that Steinmeyer died in the post-war period after 1947 - probably in Silesia ( Egbert Weiß ).
