Oskar Freiherr von Zoller was a Bavarian Lieutenant general who was known for serving at the Battle of Kissingen during the Austro-Prussian War, being killed during the fighting.
[1] In 1827, Zoller joined the Bavarian Army as a Junker in the Lifeguards Infantry Regiment in Munich, became an officer in 1828 and was promoted to captain in 1842.
In 1850 he returned to military service and became a lieutenant colonel in the 3rd Infantry Regiment "Prinz Karl von Bayern" in Augsburg, of which he became commander in 1853.
[8] In the course of the Austro-Prussian War, Zoller is said to have asked the commander-in-chief of the southern German troops, Prince Karl Theodor of Bavaria, three times for the relief of the Hanoverians, whereupon he is said to have been sentenced to three days' arrest.
In 1901, Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria approved a "Freiherr Oskar von Zoller'sche Stiftung" which aimed to support war veterans.
