Württemberg officer Fritz von Graevenitz served during the Great War as Adjutant General in the court of His Majesty King Wilhelm II. of Württemberg. Fritz was the son of Prussian general Karl von Graevenitz (1830-1903). With his commissioning as a Leutnant in 1878, Fritz began serving in Württemberg's 1st Grenadier-Regiment in Stuttgart. He was sent in 1892 to Berlin, where he was to spend a great deal of his military service. He was initially engaged in the Empire's military topographical mission. This led in 1901 to Major Graevenitz' selection as aide-de-camp to Württemberg King Wilhelm II. while remaining in Berlin to serve on Kaiser Wilhelm II.'s highly influential military cabinet.

In the years leading up to the Great War, General von Graevenitz had the dual role serving as Württemberg's military liaison (Militär-Bevollmächtigter) to Prussia's Great General Staff in Berlin, as well as Adjutant General to His Majesty KW King Wilhelm II. He thus developed close connections with numerous high-level Prussian political and military leaders and used this to advance the role of Württemberg's officer corps within the Empire. He remained in this capacity for most of the War until a heart ailment forced him to leave Great HQ and return to His Majesty's side in Stuttgart. Following the Armistice in November 1918, Wilhelm II. ceremoniously brevetted von Graevenitz to the rank of General der Infanterie. Two of Graevenitz's sons were killed in action during the final year of the War. He was also the grandfather of West German Bundespräsident (1984-1994) Richard von Weizsäcker
