coburg22 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Hello, I tried to find current information on the above award, and very little is available? Two questions? Didn’t awards from States and Kingdoms cease after WWI? And if so, how is it possible that Hermann Goering was awarded the Grand Cross of the Ernestine House Order in the 1930’s? He is seen wearing the award in his Heer General’s tunic? Were there other post WWI awards made to Germans? Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdC26 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) There is plenty of information on the SEHO if you simply search the forum or the web, but to answer your questions: the SEHO ceased to be awarded as a stately award in November 1918, but thereafter continued to be awarded as a houseorder. See German Wiki, coupled with Google translate if needed: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herzoglich_Sachsen-Ernestinischer_Hausorden Kind regards, Sandro Edited August 10, 2022 by GdC26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
