Stutzin Joachin Josef    Stabarzt Dr 

Dr. Joachim Stutzin, born 31 August 1878 at Gut Kartauten in Courland. Qualified as a medical doctor at Gießen in 1904. No indication whatsoever that he ever held commissioned German military rank. However, his entry in the 1928 edition of "Wer Ist's" (Who's who) states he was a consulting surgeon and "Medical Major" (presumably Ottoman) of the 4th, 5th and 6th armies respectively. Also leader of missions of the German Red Cross. Never an Oberstabsarzt in the Prussian army!

If you have a copy of the Ehrenrangliste (which was published in 1930), German navy officer are pretty straightforward:

Arthur Tautz, born September 14, 1890, Crew 1909, Leutnant zur See September 19, 1912, Oberleutnant zur See May 2, 1915. Tautz was on Moltke — not Goeben — when the war began and remained there through October 1916, when he transfers into theater and onto Breslau. British POW when Breslau is sunk. (The German word you were looking for is “Gefangenschaft” = captivity in English.)

Charakter as Kapitänleutnant January 21, 1920. Out of service January 28, 1920. German decorations in early 1918 are the EK2, Hamburg’s Hanseatic Cross, Oldenburg’s Friedrich-August Cross, plus a prewar Order of the Crown 4th class.

Dr. Friedrich Tacke, born February 19, 1869, entered service April 1893, Marine-Oberstabsarzt (= medical branch equivalent of a Korvettenkapitän) March 22, 1910, Marine-Generaloberarzt (= medical branch equivalent of a Fregattenkapitän) January 28, 1918. Goeben’s chief medical officer to August 1915, when he returns to Germany.

German decorations by early 1918 are the EK2 plus the Order of the Red Eagle 4th class (par for the course for senior medical officers). Out of service November 24, 1919.

Telek    Hilfsleutnant

The naval Ehrenrangliste lists a grand total of 8 Hilfsleutnante and no one bearing any similarity whatsoever to Telek. Hilfsleutnant was a naval rank, however Wolf's table states army. A nonsensical entry.

An Hilfsleutnant zur See Tolki is mentioned in "Der Krieg in den Türkischen Gewässern" as being assigned to the Fleet coal bureau. He is not, however listed in the Ehrenrangliste. Toli is a German name and I suspect he is also the aforementioned "Telek". More investigation required.

Up the page from the mention of Tolki, it mentions paying Hilfsoffiziere (plural), so presumably there were additional such personnel.

The errata section of the Ehrenrangliste includes three additional Hilfsoffiziere to add in, all of which had died during the war, so clearly the portion of the book is a bit suspect.

Who would have the authority to appoint a Hilfsleutnant zur See? If it's the local fleet commander, Souchon in this case, then I could imagine that the documentation might be difficult to track down.
