I have recently acquired a beautiful OZL Knight's Cross 1st Cl. w/Oaks & Swords.

Can anyone tell me what the three objects are in front of the castle ruins?

All the best ..

And thank you for the two links!

Sorry, I have no idea. Just read the description on www.ehrenzeichen-orden.de

But hopefully here is a Baden specialist on our forum, which could explain the mystery

I cannot translate the statement above.  Can someone translate this?

[HeikoGrusdat]

this is not real german but the slang from Baden....sometimes it is better that not everything can be translated

I translate you what he said exactly : "There we have three Baden sheep and the others are Baden hanging potatoes"

So in free words....the stones in front of the castle ruin are sheep and the plants on the ruin are hanging potatoes....strange people these Badeners

[Gunther Beckmann]

Heiko,

That is a good one, I think I get the point.  Thank you for taking the time to translate that little pearl of wisdom for me.
