Karl Friedrich Edler[a] von Rennenkampff (Russian: Карл-Фри́дрих Па́влович Ренненка́мпф, Karl-Fridrikh Pavlovich Rennenkampf; 27 November [O.S. 16] 1788 – 5 September [O.S. 25 August] 1848) was a Baltic German statesman and general of the Imperial Russian Army. Like many other soldiers at the time, Rennenkampff participated in the Russian Campaign in 1812 against Napoleon, distinguishing him during the war including the Bautzen, along his cousin[1][2] Paul, who also participated in the Battle of Bautzen. He also served as the vice-director of the Imperial Military Academy form 1843 until his death in 1848. He was the great-uncle of the famous World War I general Paul von Rennenkampf.
Notes
- ^ Regarding personal names: Edler was a title before 1919, but now is regarded as part of the surname. It is translated as a noble (one). 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 Edle.
