Fritz Anneke (Forty-Eighter of German Origin, Prussian Artillery officer and commanding officer of Carl Schurz during the 1849 campaign in Palatinate and Baden, husband of Mathilde Franziska Anneke)
•
Carl Schurz, who was later U.S. general, secretary of the Interior and U.S. senator, had been his adjunct officer during that campaign, and his wife Mathilde Franziska Anneke, the famous abolitionist and feminist activist, served as ordnance officer in that campaign.
The Annekes were vocal opponents of slavery during the American Civil War, and Fritz served in the Union army, as colonel and commanding officer of the 34th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment.
