This badge was established in recognition of servicemen who were injured in hostilities by the enemy or who became incapacitated as a result of injury. The badge was also adopted by the Bavarian king Ludwig III for the Bavarian army.
The wound sign was awarded in 3 stages. For 1-2 times, wounds were issued in black. Soldiers who were wounded 3 and 4 times received a badge in silver (also matte white). For 5 times and multiple wounds, the sign was awarded in gold. The same requirements were imposed on the fleet.
From January 30, 1936, higher degrees could be awarded with less frequent injuries, if this was justified by the severity of the injury or even injury.
The badge could also be worn on civilian clothing. In the trade of that time, silver versions were distributed in the form of a miniature or screw disk .
Hollow embossed, oval sign made of gilded iron sheet or non-ferrous metal. At the back is a vertical pin.
