place of birth:  Nürnberg, Bayern

Royal Bavarian general Hermann von Haag served during the Great War as Adjutant General to King Ludwig III.  Hermann entered military service in 1861 and fought against the Prussians in the Deutscher Krieg of 1866. After the war, he married Luise Kroning, and the couple never had children. During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, Haag participated in battles at Wörth, Beaumont and Sedan, and also took part in the Siege of Paris. He was wounded during the Battle of Loigny and Poupry in December 1870.

During the post-war years, Haag served with the Bavarian General Staff, as well as at Bavaria's War Academy and War Ministry. He later commanded 11th Infantry Regiment and in 1889 was elevated into Bavarian nobility as Ritter von Haag, having been awarded the Verdienstorden der  Bayerischen Krone. Oberst von Haag was then assigned to the Bundesrat in Berlin (Prussian Federal Assembly) where he served several years as Bavaria's military liaison. He returned to Bavaria in 1895 as a General-Lieutenant and commander of 3rd Infantry Division in Nürnberg (later renamed 5th ID). Having retired from active duty in 1903, Ritter von Haag returned to service a couple years later to function as Generaladjutant for Prinz-Regent Luitpold. He was retained as Generaladjutant when Luitpold died in 1912 and Ludwig III. first became Regent and later assumed the Bavarian throne.
