Unknown Vizeadmiral at Laboe, 30 May 1936

[Kriegsmarine Admiral]

Does anyone know who this Vizeadmiral might be. Previously I thought he was Wilhelm Souchon but looking at his sleeve insignia, he is clearly a Vizeadmiral and Souchon was an Admiral (promoted in 1918 and this photo was taken in 1936). And also he looks much taller and fatter than Souchon (see 2nd and 3rd photo of Souchon below for comparison).

He also wears the Gallipoli Star, so it might help with the identification.

Danke.

Thank you, I agree with you!
Engelhardt was also awarded the Kommandeurkreuz 2. Klasse des Dannebrogorden that can be seen on the photo (see photo below).
Also below is a photo of Engelhardt from Deutschlands Admirale 1849-1945.
