    Orders and decorations of Hessen und bei Rhein


    Recommended Posts

    I know the Order of Philipp the Magnanimous order was founded in 1849, but which order was awarded by the Grandduk befor that, how did it look and would anyone know where to get a hold of the Matrikel?

    Thanks

    That would be the "House order of Hessen". Basically the predecessor of the Ludwigs Order. I believe since 1806 or 1808:

    Hi Andreas!

    David,

    the order is mentioned in most of the literature. I am sure there are old state hand books from that time, but the actual archives burned unfortunately down.

    The House order of Hessen was a real house order in any case. Meaning: immediate family, friendly allies....
