    Could this be the Hartmann regiment represented by this medal?

      That would be Wels, Oberösterreich; Upper Austria.

        Here's an organization table. Look under the 5. Königlich Bayerisch Division.


        Wiki:
        Königlich Bayerisches 14. Infanterie-Regiment „Hartmann“ (auf deutsch)

        Cut and paste the below url into Google Translate for an English "translation":

          Offizier Stellvetreter is roughly equivalent to a Warrant Officer in the British Army and is often translated that way.

          But, it actually translates roughly as "Acting Officer" which would be a field rank of a senior NCO, like Regimental Sergeant Major, that would revert down one level in peace time, if he still continued to serve.

          I think others that are more informed on German ranking systems could give you a more fine-tooned translation.

              Hi! In this case it's a rank of the former AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN army, not the German. Offizier-Stellvertreter was a higher-ranking non-commissioned officer.

              Kind regards, Peter
