Carl von Horn (1847–1923)

For the Swedish UN General, see Carl von Horn (1903–1989).

Carl Graf[a][1] von Horn (16 February 1847 – 5 June 1923) was a Bavarian Colonel General[2] and War Minister from 4 April 1905 to 16 February 1912. He was born in Würzburg and died in Munich.[3] Before he became minister, he was Lieutenant General and divisional commander in Regensburg, where the Hornstraße is named in honor of him.[4]

Notes

  1. ^ Regarding personal names: Graf was a title before 1919, but now is regarded as part of the surname. It is translated as Count. Before the August 1919 abolition of nobility as a legal class, titles preceded the full name when given (Graf Helmuth James von Moltke). Since 1919, these titles, along with any nobiliary prefix (von, zu, etc.), can be used, but are regarded as a dependent part of the surname, and thus come after any given names (Helmuth James Graf von Moltke). Titles and all dependent parts of surnames are ignored in alphabetical sorting. The feminine form is Gräfin.
