Dr. Carl Rosenwald (1873-1938) served a major of the Bavarian Militia during World War I. He was stationed in Nuremburg, working for the Deputy General Command of the Bavarian III. Army Corps, where he ran a department that dealt with political affairs, public safety,  police matters and served as liaison with the press. During the short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic, established in 1918, Rosenwald felt it was his duty as an officer to remain on his post, and take his orders from the new Socialist regime, which he abhorred profoundly. His commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Von Rotenhan, pointed out in a letter of recommendation that Major Rosenwald was a “committed officer” who acted “in the interest of the general good of the Fatherland” and commended him as a man who never changed his “patriotic outlook,” despite the political sea change.

After the war, Dr. Rosenwald served as deputy director of the Higher Regional Court Nuremberg, where he died in 1938.
