General Rudolf Rösch was a Royal Bavarian officer who served as a divisional commander during the Great War. Rösch entered military service just as the Franco-Prussian War was getting underway in 1870. He saw action as a young officer's candidate with Bavarian 3. Infanterie-Regiment and won the Iron Cross 2nd Class. During the inter-war period, he served as a brigade commander and then military governor of Fortress Ingolstadt. He was promoted to Generalleutnant on 19.05.1906 and was thus bestowed with the title Exzellenz (Excellency.) Generalleutnant Rösch was brought out of retirement in March 1915 to head up the newly-formed Bavarian 10. Infanterie-Division and remained in its command until April 1916. Upon his retirement, Rösch was brevetted as a General der Infanterie.
