Wilhelm von Manz

Wilhelm Ritter[a] von Manz (6 April 1804 – 5 January 1867) was a Bavarian Lieutenant General and War Minister under Maximilian II of Bavaria from 13 April 1859 to 12 June 1861.

Von Manz was born in Dillingen. After holding several officer positions in the Bavarian army, he became war minister in 1855. Afterwards he served as commander in chief of the Munich garrison, where he died in 1867.[1] On 15 June 1846 he married Adelheid von Zedtwitz.[2]

Notes

  1. ^ Regarding personal names: Ritter was a title before 1919, but now is regarded as part of the surname. It is translated as Knight. 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. There is no equivalent feminine form.
