German Awards - Silver Medal of the Oldenburg Order of Home and Merit

The medals of the Oldenburg Order of the House and Merit were established by the Grand Duke Ernst August on February 18, 1910 and annexed to the Order of the House and Merit, established on November 28, 1838. The Order of Home and Merit was established on November 27, 1838 by Paul Friedrich Augustus and was supposed to remind of the 25-year return of his father. The order consisted of 4 classes for honorary gentlemen and chapters: a large cross, a large komture, a komture and a small cross (from 1860 knightly crosses). Attached to the order is a common badge of honor in 3 classes: gold, silver and iron. In 1883, the General Badge of Honor was renamed the Cross of Honor. In 1856, for merits in the war, this award was expanded with 2 swords passing through the center. With a higher talent in peacetime, they were added to the ring. In 1903, the Officers' Cross was established between Komtur and Knight's Cross 1. The class stands. Medals of the Order "House" and "For Merit" were awarded in 3 classes: Gold Medal, Silver Medal and Bronze Medal mainly to persons who are not Oldenburg children. They were awarded for the merits of various types.
