Line 3: '''''Stabskapitän''''' (en: Staff captain), in the [[cavalry]] also '''''Stabsrittmeister''''' (en: "Staff riding master" or "Staff cavalry master"), or '''''Kapitänleutnant''''' (en: Captain lieutenant) , was a historic [[military rank]] in the [[Prussian Army]]. In reference to the German '''''Stabskapitän''''' the equivalent rank in the [[Imperial Russian Army]] used to be the rank '''''Stabs-kapitan''''' ({{lang-ru\|штабс-капитан}}). It ranked between the [[Premierleutnant]] (later called [[Oberleutnant]]) and [[Hauptmann]]/[[Rittmeister]] in the Prussian army, and between ~~lieutenant~~''[[poruchik]]'' and captain in the Russian army. Its holder represented the actual [[Captain (land and air)\|captain]] and [[company commander]] in his absence, frequently and often for long periods, should his (usually noble) Hauptmann show no interest in leading the company, though the Hauptmann would retain his rank, status and uniform. In the army of [[Frederick the Great]], a regiment's [[regimentschef]], [[oberst]], [[staff officer]]s, [[company commander]]s and those of nearby rank received a far higher rank than the staff captains who ''actually'' led the company. From this difference later developed the salary difference between a first class "[[Hauptleute first class]]" and "[[Hauptleute second class]]".
