Käthe Kollwitz, artist (Pour le Mérite, civil class)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%A4the_Kollwitz
Kollwitz lost her youngest son Peter on the battlefield [Flanders] in World War I in October of 1914. By the end of the year she had made drawings for a monument to Peter and his fallen comrades; she destroyed the monument in 1919, and began again in 1925. The memorial, entitled The Grieving Parents, was finally completed and placed in the Belgian cemetery of Roggevelde in 1932. Later, when Peter's grave was moved to the nearby Vladslo German war cemetery, the statues were also moved.

Max von Prittwitz und Gaffron's son Erdmann is listed as KIA on 23 May 1918, don't know the unit.

Bruno von Mudra's son Herbert served with 27th Aviation Det and later Leib-Garde Rgt Nr 115, don't believe his was KIA though

Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg's eldest son was killed on the Eastern Front 1915.

Has anyone a record of a young Leutnant von Bethmann-Hollweg in the cavalry?

It might be a different 'von Bethmann-Hollweg' (I doubt it, although I only looked for Theobald's son, but the family is rather small, having been ennobled in 1840 or so). It could also be propaganda, a hoax or just a mistake. If need be, I could check other family members.

Bernhard von Bülow's brother Generalmajor Karl Hans Ulrich von Bülow was killed near Liege on the 6th August 1914.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernhard_von_B%C3%BClow
Karl Hans Ulrich von Bülow was killed in LINCE (Sprimont) near Liege on the 6th August 1914.
It was, following this source, a suicide.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl-Ulri ... B%C3%BClow

I heart somewhere, but i don't remember, his wife didn't believe it and came to Liege to see it and ...she died ther.
Confirmation possible ?
