Generalmajor Karl von Schoch (1863 - 1940) - Ritterkreuz des Militär-Max-Joseph-Ordens
Gold, Emaille, im Bandring innen eingraviert "7." Am originalen, 35 mm breiten Band (leicht gedunkelt). Die Medaillons sitzen etwas schief, in der weißen Emaille vereinzelt Haarrisse und ein Chip im unteren Kreuzarm. Trage- und Altersspuren. Breite 29,8 mm, Gewicht ohne Band ca. 8 g. Extrem selten.
Am 1. Weltkrieg nahm Schoch, der am 7.1.1914 zum Generalmajor befördert wurde, ab August 1914 als Kommandeur der 4. Infanterie-Brigade teil. Am 26.8.1914 wurde er für die Unterstützung einer preußischen Division an der Westfront mit der höchsten bayerischen Militärauszeichnung, dem Militär-Max-Joseph-Orden, geehrt. Er durfte sich aufgrund der damit verbundenen Verleihung des persönlichen Adels ab 1.2.1915 Ritter von Schoch nennen.
Bei Baptist Schrettinger, Der Königlich Bayerische Militär-Max-Joseph-Orden und seine Mitglieder, Bd. 2, wird im Anhang der Ordensträger im 1. Weltkrieg Karl von Schoch mit der Nr. 207 genannt. Auf den Hilferuf des Kommandeurs der 65. Preußischen Infanteriebrigade setzte Schoch am 26.8.1914 alle verfügbaren Truppen zu einem erfolgreichen Angriff ein.
Provenienz: Direkt aus Familienbesitz.

Generalmajor Karl von Schoch (1863 - 1940) – a Knight's Cross of the Military Order of Max Joseph
Gold, enamel, engraved "7" on the inside of the suspension ring. On the original, 35 mm ribbon (slightly darkened). The medallions somewhat crooked, occasional hairline cracks in the white enamel and the lower cross arm chipped in one place. Signs of age and wear. Width 29.8 mm, weight without ribbon approx. 8 g. Extremely rare find.
Schoch was promoted to Generalmajor on 7 January 1914 and fought in World War I as commander of the 4th Infantry Brigade from August 1914. On 26 August 1914, he was awarded the highest Bavarian military honour, the Military Order of Max Joseph, for supporting a Prussian division at the Western Front. As this distinction was coupled with elevation to knighthood, he bore the title Ritter von Schoch from 1 February 1915.
In Baptist Schrettinger, Der Königlich Bayerische Militär-Max-Joseph-Orden und seine Mitglieder, Vol. 2, Karl von Schoch is listed as no. 207 in the appendix of World War I awardees. Responding to the plea for help sent out by the commander of the 65th Prussian Infantry Brigade on 26 August 1914, Schoch deployed all available troops and led a successful attack.
