Baron von Manteuffel

Baron von Manteuffel (1809-1885), full name Edwin Karl Rochus Freiherr von Manteuffel, was a field-marshal of Germany, born in Dresden. He entered the Prussian army in 1827, rose rapidly, and took part in all the wars from 1866 to 1872, and was appointed viceroy at the close of the last in Alsace-Lorraine, a rather unhappy appointment, as it proved.
