    Hesse-Darmstadt Official Register

    in General Discussions

    Does anyone know if Hesse-Darmstadt issued an official "register" as most monarchies did in the N period?

    That is , something that would list officers and military officials, etc.

    According to Wikiwakipedia, the "Großherzoglich Hessisches Regierungsblatt" began in 1819 [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fherzoglich_Hessisches_Regierungsblatt].

    But was there a similar publication earlier? What was it called? (And hope it is on-line!).

    Thanks in advance.

    Kösterus does not appear to have served in the Grossherzoglich hessischen Liebgarde-Regiment as an officer in:

    There exists a:


    Großherzoglich Hessischer Militair- Hof- und Civil-Etat 1810 und 1811. Darmstadt: Verlag der Großherzogl. Invaliden-Anstalt, 51 pp.


    I will check it WRT Kösterus.


    Best regards, Thomas

    Bad News!!!! 😒


    The Großherzoglich-hessischer Hofkalender: 1810-1822 does NOT contain any information on military officers.


    Only The Landgräflich-hessischer Staats- und Adreß-Kalender: 1791-1806 has such .information.

    Jack, I think you know this valuable site regarding the official Staatshandbücher: https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Staatshandbücher_und_-kalender ... but nothing for the Rhinebund era :-(
