hello, Waleed,

a first - haphazard - guess :

Bernhard Kuhnt, later, in the war, a stoker in the navy, member of USPD, from November 10, 1918 to March 3, 1919 president of the "Socialistic Republic of Oldenbourg and Ostfriesland" - ??

Hello Isbjörn!

Although I like you, I can't agree in your choice of president.
Too long a period of reign... Dry your fuses and try again :wink:

:lol: No gardener, more a tailor!
Now that was one hint... :wink:
Here's one more. President of a region within a state.
A state which would become a different state only a few years after his short reign.

When I mean short I really mean short... :D

8-) A question and following answer often results in yet a closely related question.
Actually Danish Wiki and Danish minority (Schleswig) sites has much more on him than what I could find on German sites. 8O
He is mentioned on Danish Wiki in regards to "Sønderborg Kaserne".

hi, Waleed,

definitely proud, but no, not a Spaniard ... although (hint! :milwink: ) his mother country borders on Spain ...

after 4 days without answers, the next hint:

OK, let's see it this is right...

The first man could be... Nah, not Maximilian I of Mexico or Baron Bernhard von Wüllerstorf-Urbair?
Maybe the artist Henri Julien Félix Rousseau, the man behind the "man with the Fez and cat" painting
aka the earlier "Torero" :oops: who is the French naval officer Pierre Loti!

So what ship... SMS Novara?
