Grolman

place of birth: Berlin
Königreich
Preußen: Generalstabschef,

Although born into the family of
a noted judge in Berlin, Grolman opted instead for a military career at
the age of 13. He became a Prussian General der Infanterie who served during the wars of
liberation (Befreiungskriege) and who replaced
Gneisenau as Prussia Chief of General Staff (1814-1819). Later,
Infanterie-Regiment (l. Posensches) Nr. 18, was named in Grolman's honor,
as was a fort in the Posen (Poznan) area. In 1839, he was decorated with
Prussia's highest order of chivalry, the Schwarzer Adler-Orden (Order
of the Black Eagle.) While serving as commanding general
of V. Armee-Korps in Posen, he died on 15 September 1843.
