Help to identify ribbon bar

[03fahnen]

I appreciate any information to identify this ribbon bar:

1.     Preußen Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse

2.     Württemberg Verdienstkreuz mit Schwertern ¿??

3.     ¿???

4.     Hamburg Hanseatenkreuz

5.     Lübeck Hanseatenkreuz

6.     Bremen Hanseatenkreuz

7.     ¿??

 

[P.F.]

Last ribbon looks like 1918 Finnish Order of Liberty, 4th or 3rd Class.

1. EK2

2. Fürstlich Reußisches Ehrenkreuz 3. Klasse mit der Krone und Schwertern

3. probably Mecklenburg-Schwerinsches Militärverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse

4. HH

5. LüH

6. BremH

7. ??

He was an Ordonnanz-Offizier in the IX. Reservekorps, which accounts for the various Hanseatic and Mecklenburg awards. I assume 3 is the MMV2 and not the Strelitz cross, which had the same ribbon, because he is not in the Strelitz roll and we are missing many late war Schwerin awards which were not published in the Regierungsblatt.  The 1919 KR 2 Stammliste only lists Hamburg, Lübeck and Reuß among his wartime non-Prussian awards. 

I have no idea what the last one is. It might be Finnish, but he is not in the Ostsee-Division officer list and he's not Navy, so I don't know of any connection between him and the Finnish campaign.

I agree with Dave. For the last ribbon I was thinking about the Finnish freedomcross or perhaps the Olympia-medaille. The picture is post-1933. We are missing the FEK, so I'm not 100% on board with the Olympia-medaille.

Kind regards, Laurentius

Yeah, the FEK seems like an odd omission. In any event, this ribbon bar likely only lasted a few more months, since he was an E-Offizier and would have added the Wehrmacht Dienstauszeichungen on 2 October 1936.

First of all thank all your answers and interest

The second tape baffles me, because of the two vertical stripes in the center.

The "Fürstlich Reußisches Ehrenkreuz 3. Klasse mit der Krone und Schwertern" tape does not have those two stripes.

And I have never seen a "Württemberg Verdienstkreuz" medal with a crown. But it is the only tape I know of with the two vertical stripes in the center.

Who knows?

Adolf v.S. was already a Lt at the outbreak of the war.

A Württemberg Cross of Merit would have been awarded to an NCO type, so it is simply impossible that he's  got one.

 

Best,

Daniel

Maybe the Hohenzollern honourcross with swords and crown? That would match the device and the ribbon

[David M]

This one you mean?

[Deruelle]

Hi

on the picture there is a small defect that suggests a line, Adolf Frhr von Seckendorff received the Reuß Ehrenkreuz 3rd class with X and crown as Dave said above.

Thank you very much for the information, it has been clarified

[webr55]

I agree the last one must be the Finnish Order of the Cross of Liberty. 

 

A different Adolf von Seckendorff (his father?) had been military governor of Estonia in 1918, btw:
