On the website "archinform", a German page about architects, I found Grässel was given the orden Pour le Mérite in 1914 (see ref). From the article on the orden, I gather this was a pure military decoration. Should it then be assumed that Grässel got it from deeds in the first world war, rather than for his deeds as an architect? Indeed, he is not one of the very very famous architects. In 1914, when he recieved the orden, he was ~54 years old - not the age I expect an architect to earn military decoration. On pourlemerite.org, it says there was one "other" Pour le Mérite given during 1914, that was neither army, navy, air or foreign. [1]Assuming that this was Grässel seems a bit headstrong, though. // Habj 10:52, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Hmm, it seems it was a civilian thing [2] // Habj 14:42, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
