So at the army level there was the appointment of General-Leutnant (English "lieutenant-general"), at the regimental level there was that of Oberst-Leutnant (English "lieutenant-colonel"), and at the company level the Leutnant was deputy to a Hauptmann (English "captain").
Astfel, la nivel de armată a existat gradul de General-Leutnant (în română „general-locotenent”), la nivel de regiment a fost gradul de Oberst-Leutnant (în română „locotenent-colonel”), iar la nivelul companiei Leutnant era adjunctul unui Hauptmann (în română „căpitan”).
