- Imperial Commissioner
Imperial Commissioner is an ambivalent
English language term, used to render foreign language titles of various - mostlygubernatorial - officers whose 'commission' was in the gift of anEmperor , includingChina ,Tsarist Russia and theHoly Roman Empire .
*The German title, in both theGerman Second Reich and theNazi Third Reich , was usually "Reichskommissar ".*However, Imperial Commissioner can also be used to render
Kaiserlicher Kommissar , which in Germanetymology refers to the Emperor, not to the Empire. This was notably the case for a gubernatorial style in the colonial possession ofJaluit (in the South sea, presently in theMarshall Islands ), which were administered, after a single "Kommissar" ('Commissioner'; 1885 - 1886, Gustav von Oertzen, b. 18.. - d. 1911), by the following "Kaiserliche Kommissare" :
**1886 - 5 October 1887 Wilhelm Knappe (b. 1855 - d. 1910)
**5 October 1887 - 29 March 1889 Franz Leopold Sonnenschein (acting to 14 April 1888) (b. 1857 - d. 1897)
**29 March 1889 - 14 April 1890 Eugen Brandeis (acting) (b. 1846 - d. 1919) (1st time)
**14 April 1890 - February 1892 Friedrich Louis Max Biermann (b. 1856 - d. 1929)
