Hans von Bülow (general)

Hans Adolf Julius von Bülow (1816-1897) was a General of the Artillery in the Imperial German Army.

Under these circumstances he thought he could deviate from the order he had received to return to the camp and instead advanced with his brigade as far as Lupnik and Stochausen close to Eises.

At the same time, 1 battalion, 1 pioneer detachment, 1 squadron, 2 cannons, the former on wagons, were sent to Mechterstadt to destroy the railway and to prevent any movement from Gotha.

[8] On the same day, Bülow ordered both field batteries and horse artillery to trot forward to Vernéville, to reinforce IX Corps.

[10] Bülow knew how to keep in perfect fighting condition without suffering great losses; during the Second Battle of Orléans, his insightful leadership succeeded in driving the enemy.

After the death of Eugen Anton Theophil von Podbielski, Bülow proceeded him as Inspector General of Artillery.

[10] However, he had conflicts with Prussian Minister of War Georg von Kameke and retired on 12 December 1882 with the character of a General of the Infantry.
