German Awards - German Awards

Collecting orders and signs is called faleristics. Faleristics deals with orders and badges of honor, as well as other awards, including relevant letters, statutes, associated order ribbons, methods of wearing, etudes, etc. They are registered, collected and documented in the historical context of various states and eras. There is a lot of specialized literature in this collecting field in various specializations or areas. Unfortunately, such books are very expensive, especially for beginners in this fascinating area of collecting, and the variety of specializations makes it difficult to limit them to one area. Often a distinction is made between eras such as early history, empire, World War I, or the time of National Socialism, or a distinction is made directly between individual German states such as Bavaria, Prussia, Austria, Saxony, etc. Especially for beginners, identifying the collection area is highly recommended. The site provides free information about awards, descriptions of orders and honorary signs, size, material, weight, relevant tape and estimated collection value.
