THEODOR von der PFORDTEN


As mentioned earlier, I do not know the relationship of Theodor von der Pfordten with us. However, I would like to keep his story here and at the same time looking for the relationship with LUDWIG KARL HEINRICH FREIHERR von der PFORDTEN.

He was born in May 14, 1873. According to Wikipedia, he was a County Court Councilor, who served in World War One and was an early member of the Nazi Party, who took part in Adolf Hitler's failed Beer Hall Putsch. He along with fifteen others was trying to overthrow the government of Bavaria. He would not have a proper burial, until Hitler came to power, when he would be known as a martyr of the Nazi struggle. Hitler's Mein Kampf is dedicated to him with the others killed also.

Theodor died in November 9, 1923.
