Kriegsmarine Admiral

Hello,
the medal was donated to commemorate the hundredth birthday of Emperor Wilhelm I. The circle of people 
was relatively large. It was awarded u.a. to all persons of the active army and the active navy, members of 
the protection troops and also to veterans of the wars 1864, 1866 and 1870/71. The award number should 
be well over one million medals. I hope, that helps you a bit.
Best regards
Walter

Thank you. So is it possible it was awarded for several months? Or should I say, is it possible that Hans Erler recieved it in April?

Hello, does someone know for how long was the Centenary Medal awarded?

It was established on 22 March 1897, but surely it wasn't awarded for just one day.

While researching some Admirals I found information that they recieved the Centenary Medal in April 1897 (for example Hans Erler who joined the Kaiserliche Marine on 16 April 1897).

Thanks.

Yes exactly. And the last ribbon might indeed be the Spanish Merito Naval, worn on his ribbon bar. 

So you agree the last medal is the Finnische Tapferkeitsmedaille in Silber?

Could you post a photo of the medal so we can compare?

Here is another, earlier pic of Wülfing with his medal bar. It seems he changed the precedence of his awards. The one behind the "Finn. Freiheitskreuz 2. Kl." on the ribbon bar above (the one with the lighter color) is in last position on his medal bar. I believe this is the Finnische Tapferkeitsmedaille. 

I agree it could well be the  Finnische Tapferkeitsmedaille. In Silber right?

That would make the awards from his medal bar on this photo as following:

-1914 EK II

-Preußisches Dienstauszeichnungskreuz

-China Denkmünze

-Südwestafrika Denkmünze

-Finn. Freiheitskreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern

-Erinnerungsmedaille des "Finnischen Freiheitskrieges" 1918 mit Spange

-Finnische Tapferkeitsmedaille in Silber

Also, no Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer on this photo because it is pre 1934.

The last ribbon could be the Grand Cross of the Spanish Order of Naval Merit with White Decoration, seen on the last photo you posted.

Is this the Kriegsabzeichen für Hilfskreuzer Vizeadmiral Rieve is wearing?

Sorry for the bad quality of the pics.

Konteradmirals Otto Klüber (portrait) and Waldemar Kober (standing on the photo).

They both recieved the Spainenkreuz, but I don't know the Class? 
Klüber perhaps the Spanienkreuz in Silber mit Schwertern?
Kober also? Although he was the Chief Engineer on the Cruiser ‘Nürnberg’, so perhaps ohne Schwertern?

Also, 2 unknown Awards below their Iron Crosses 1st Class? Klüber's is unfortunately covered by his hand...

Thanks.

Thank you!

Hello, what award is this? Thanks.

The funeral pillow of Vizeadmiral Bernhard Rogge.

Please help me ID the awards of this Vizeadmiral.

What I have so far:

1914 EK II
Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer
Südwestafrika Denkmünze
China Denkmünze
Preußisches Dienstauszeichnungskreuz
Finn. Freiheitskreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern
???
Erinnerungsmedaille des "Finnischen Freiheitskrieges" 1918 mit Spange
???

It is possible the 2 unknown awards are foreign.

Thanks.

Awards of Konteradmiral Waldemar Hirth?

Hello. I want to start this topic because I am researching Kriegsmarine Konteradmirals and I require their Awards. I do not own any of the Ranglists that list the Awards (Kaiserliche Marine and Reichsmarine Ranglists) and I really need help from those forum members that do have the Ranglists. 

I will post the Konteradmiral whose Awards I need on this topic almost every day and I hope someone will be able to help me. 

I will also post the photo of the Konteradmiral if his ribbon/medal bar is visible and someone might be able to ID some additional Awards that are not listed in the Ranglists.

To start off, I need the Awards of Konteradmiral Ernst Hintzmann.

Below are photos with his ribbon bar visible.

These are the Awards I managed to find:

-Iron Cross (1914) 1st Class

-Iron Cross (1914) 2nd Class

-Knight's Cross of the Royal House Order of Hohenzollern with Swords

-Prussian Order of the Red Eagle 4th Class

-Mecklenburg Military Merit Cross 2nd Class

-The Honour Cross of the World War 1914/1918

-Medal "For Valour in the World War 1914-1918" (Commemorative Medal of the Union of German Naval Veterans Associations) *Note: this one isn't confirmed, but as he was the Chairman of the Union of German Naval Veterans Associations I think he could have been awarded this medal.
