Order of Malta/Johanniter. Do a search as a couple of threads here came up over the past couple of years on the German version of this group.

From the suspension blur above the Order at his neck, I'd say he is the Catholic version-- Vatican-affiliated Order of Malta. The Prussian Johanniter had no such extra device over their "Pour le Merite" looking Order.

Also notice that the naughty man is wearing a ribbon each out of TWO different tunic buttons! :speechless1:
