Walter Rudolf Louis Fedor Alexander von Bogen was born on 24 April 1880 and died on 27 March 1949. Promoted to Leutnant on 31 December 1898. The Dienstalterliste for 1904 shows him in the 8th Kompanie of Garde Grenadier Regiment Nr.5. Was at the Kriegsakademie between 1908 and 1911. Starting 1 April 1912 he was "kommandiert zur Dienstleistung" at the Generalstab, and eventually "versetzt" on 1 April 1914. Promoted to Hauptman 1.10.1913 (F22f).
Around 1932: Hauptschriftleiter des Adelsblattes (Auflage 1930: 14.500) und Geschäftsführer der Deutschen Adelsgenossenschaft‘ war maßgeblich für die Radikalisierung der Zeitschrift und deren zunehmend antisemitischer Tendenz in den letzten Jahren der Weimarer Republik verantwortlich. Also Hauptgeschäftsstellenleiter der Deutschen Adelsgenossenschaft (DAG). Apparently he was into Darrés racial theories.
Married Ida von Schönstedt (born 1886) in 1911. Changed his name to Bogen und Schönstedt in 1918. One son fell in Italy in 1943.
