Theodor von Holleben

Theodor von Holleben (18 September 1838 Stettin, Pomerania – 31 January 1913 Berlin) was a German diplomat.

Holleben was educated at the universities of Heidelberg, Berlin and Göttingen; became an officer in the Bodyguard Hussar Regiment; and took part in the Franco-Prussian War.

Together with Secretary John Hay, of the State Department, von Holleben had charge of the arrangements for the official visit of the emperor's brother, Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia, in February 1902.

There were reports that the emperor and establishment in Berlin were impatient with von Holleben, believing him to have misled them on the American attitudes to a closer relationship.

[2] After the visit to the United States of Prince Henry of Prussia in March 1902, the Emperor conferred upon von Holleben the Order of the Red Eagle, first class with Oak leaves.
