Hi Taz, the document about post-unification wearing of ddr awards is very interesting ... I wonder if anyone has ever contested this 'ordre public' in relation to wearing specific DDR orden in court at any point? Cheers, Torsten.

Hi Torsten,

I found that article very interesting too, I haven't heard of any court cases with regards to wearing GDR awards in public.

In part it seems up to the descretion of the individual wether he wants to wear them or not.

The law leaves a lot of points still unclear in my opinion, of course that might have changed by now even though an update wasn't under concideration at the time of writing.

BTW I will translate the most important parts if required as soon as I have more time.
