Werlich (Orders and Medals of All Nations, 1974) states that it was intended primarily for foreign heads of state, but could also be awarded to Germans in certain exceptional cases for outstanding services to society.

Wild Card Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Gentlemen,Some years ago I had the good fortune to visit the museum at Bismarck's estate which is a short drive from Hamburg. I seem to recall that it was also accessible by the local train system. Either way, I highly recommend a visit by anyone who is interested in this forum. Paul?s posts #8 through #10 show a part of what is one of the largest collections of the highest Imperial German and related foreign decorations available to public view. I trust that it is all still there (Paul?).A few things that I remember in particular:1. The grand cross to the Hannoverian Order of the Guelphs was displayed on the Brunswick Henry the Lion sash and vise versa. Hopefully corrected by now.2. The most god awful life sized portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm II ever; but considering how the relationship between The Kaiser and Bismarck ended, I suspect justifiable familial revenge. 3. One decoration above so many others was his 1870 Iron Cross first class mounted on his cuirass. Simple but elegant.As I said before, if you ever have the opportunity, take it.Best wishes,Wild Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
