Biographical
Essay (by Albrecht Zimburg)
Being
a son of an army officer (Georg Heinrich Ritter Binder von
Degenschild [Württemberg, 31.7.1695 - ?] k.k. Oberstleutnant IR
17, Commander of the Hospital in Pettau), it was natural
for him to enter the Military Academy in Wr. Neustadt on
24.12.1755. As the Seven Years War raged he soon saw action
at the battles of Kunersdorf (12.8.1759), Marxen (20.11.1759)
und Landshut (23.6.1760). As Fahnenkadett he was transfered
to Infantry Regiment Kolowrat N°17, where he rose to
the rank of captain in 1767. He commanded the Grenadier Battalion "Davidovich" and
from 1784 on the Grenadier Battalion "Mersics".
With 23.8.1786 he was not only promoted to colonel but also
took command oft the Infantry Regiment "Gyulai" N°51.
In the campaign of 1789 against the Turks he distinguished
himself at Porcseny. 1793, already promoted to GM, he took
part in the siege of Mainz, 1794 saw him in a fight at Chateau
(17. and 18.10.1794) and Mannheim (Nov. 1794). Because of
an inflicted injury or wound he lost one arm and was unfit
for duty, so that he had to be pensioned. To honor his achievements
and his bravery he was promoted to FML and also had the honor
of an appointment as a Member oft the Elisabeth-Theresien-Foundation
2nd cl. (1st cl. in 1800), which came together with an additional
pension. Mid 1796 he got reassigned at the military court
in Vienna ("judicium delegatum militare mixtum")
as an assessor. In the period from December 1806 to January
1813 he held the position as Deputy President of the Military
Appeal Court in Vienna. He was married to the sister of FZM
Anton Freiherr von Zach, Anna von Zach (Pest, 27.12.1749 – Pressburg,
24.4.1794) with whom he had several children.
