There really was some hesitancy among many families. Many complaints were sent to the French President, so he decided that the second version should be produced. Families could exchange the old version for the new one.

Reichskanzler Theobald Theodor von Bethmann Hollweg
in Germany: Imperial: The Orders, Decorations and Medals of The Imperial German States

I think the entry in the Handbuch über den Königlich Preussischen Hof und Staat 1918 is not correct. Bethmann Hollweg did not get the EK2w. In wikipedia (German) about him you find a photo which shows him wearing the EK1 and the full dress version of the EK2 on a black ribbon. Other photos show the chancellor witth the black ribbon only. You will et them by searching for "Bethmann Hollweg" together with "Eisernes Kreuz" in google button "Bilder".
