SteveL Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Gents, just obtained this medal bar which has the following medals :- Einsatzmedaille "Fluthilfe 2002" des Bundes, Viertagekreuz von Nijmegen (Hollandmarsch), Silberne Medaille des IML Haervejesmarsches von Viborg/Dänemark, Medaille des IML Saga-Marsches (Norwegen). My question is.....was this worn by a member of the Bundeswehr/Fire/police or is it a civilian bar ? My thanks in advance of replies.......... Prost ! Steve.

Taz Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Were non military members allowed to participate? Or... is it possible to just receive marching medals during a period of conscription?

ÖSTA Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hi Mat, I think the Sportabzeichen and Rettungsswimmabzeichen ribbons should be placed after the Federal Flood Medal 2002 and before the Länder awards. MfG Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Feldjager, how many years of service time do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feldjaeger.1 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Hello, i served over 6 years in the Army 2002 -2008 and changed 2008 to Police. Just in the moment i am in a Riot Control Unit. For Paul, the German Uniform Code have a fixed order to wear Medals. The Sport Badges are the lowest German Awards and the last Awards in the order. I know what you mean, the Sports Badges are federal Awards and the other are country awards, but for ribbon bars the Sport Medals come in the national Medal pyramid at the end.

Lukasz Gaszewski Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Thanks Matthias for sharing your medals and ribbons. BTW: are members of the Bundeswehr today authorized to wear full-size medals on the uniform or only ribbon bars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytop Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hi Lukasz, no one in the Bundeswehr must, but everybody can wear decorations. Normally, on the service uniform, he can wear a ribbon bar. The wear of medal bars is restricted for only a few official events. ZDv 37/10: "584. Orden werden in Originalgröße getragen: (1) am Tage der Aushändigung am: − Dienstanzug, − Kampfanzug, − Gesellschaftsanzug; (2) aus besonderen dienstlichen Anlässen: Auf Anordnung des Vorgesetzten vom Divisionskommandeur (oder in entsprechender Dienststellung) an aufwärts am: − Dienstanzug, − Gesellschaftsanzug; (3) bei Staatsempfängen und Staatsakten, zu denen auch zivile Teilnehmer die Orden in Originalgröße anlegen sowie bei offizieller Teilnahme an internationalen Veranstaltungen von politischer oder militärischer Bedeu- tung, wenn dazu das Anlegen der Orden in Originalgröße internationale Gepflogenheit ist, am: − Dienstanzug, − Gesellschaftsanzug; (4) aus privaten Anlässen bei besonderen gesellschaftlichen Veranstaltungen, bei denen neben der Uniform ausdrücklich Frack angeordnet und das Tragen von Orden erwünscht ist sowie zu Hochzeitsfeierlichkeiten, am: − Dienstanzug, − Gesellschaftsanzug." - on the day of the handing out, - special official occasions (directive by division commander or higher), - state receptions and state occasions, - special social events (e.g. wedding ceremony).
