Humberto Corado Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 hello all,I dont know if this is the right forum to ask this, if not, please excuse me.looking for some items in the website Galerie d?Histoire - Andr? H?sken I found this " Hausorden der Familie G?ring f?r Treue" so I am wondering what kind of medal was this??? a private " order" of Goering?? or official award?? Thanks in advance!

Stijn David Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hello Humberto, Seems that this thread did not get the attention it does deserve, the so caleld "Hausorde .... HG" is a strange beast indeed.I have no acces towards my literature but iff not mistaking i think that there was a article on these in the Patzwall magazine. That can be found for sure on the website of Patzwall.As far as i do know it was a non official recognition from HG, he was after all very crazy about juwelery + keep in mind that such a thing was in earlyer times something that was rather for royal houses. In that way he was rather equal towards Napoleon. They both adopted certain symbols to create a myth arround them .For example: * Napoleon = adopted many symbols from Roman Times etc ... * Herm G?ring = he adopted also many symbols and in that it fitted to make a so called 'House Order", in that way he could use the system of awarding orders to get a certain shine and create a sort of medieval brotehrship. Very interesting when you think on this.Cordial greetings, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I think many kings, princes etc had little "doodads" they gave out as a sign of appreciation, either as engraved snuff boxes, or unofficial pin on awards. Not to be worn on any uniform of course.I heard every baker and candy shop owner near carinhall got these ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
