(19.05.1863 - 08.05.1923)
place of birth:  Erlebach
Königreich Preußen:  Chef des Militärkabinetts,  Generaladjutant SM,  Generalmajor


 General Marschall-Greiff served as Kaiser Wilhelm II.'s and Imperial Germany's last Military Cabinet Chief.  Ulrich was commissioned on 13 September 1884 as a Sekonde-Lieutenant in the 1. Badisches Leib-Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 109. He remained associated with his grenadier regiment until a transfer in 1902 brought him to the Prussian War Ministry in Berlin.  He was selected in 1908 to be part of Moriz Freiherr von Lyncker's Militär-Kabinett, and was von Lyncker's department chief by 1912. He remained at this posting almost throughout the entirety of  the Great War. In late July 1918, Marschall-Greiff replaced von Lyncker as Cabinet Chief and vortragender Generaladjutant, with the task of keeping the Kaiser informed of the daily situation reports.  The Militärkabinett ceased operations on 29 October 1918, and Generalmajor Marschall-Greiff soon retired from active duty.
