German Awards - Women's Loop of the German Legion of Honour

This honorary loop was issued by the Council of the Order of the German Legion of Honor. Nothing is known about the award provisions. The female loop is very rare. Perhaps this was awarded only to women honored and distinguished in the world war. Another possibility would be to award women whose men were knights of the German Legion of Honor. This badge of honour leaves room for speculation. I will be very grateful for the new knowledge. The German Legion of Honor is a voluntary association of the awarded with the "German Honorary Coin of the World War" and the holders of the "German Legion of Honor," established by the Council of the Order of the German Honorary Coin of the World War and the Council of the Order of the German Legion of Honor. German compatriots, allies and friends were awarded, as they were worthy and worthy of the award. The leadership of the German Legion of Honor was identical to the leadership of the Council of the Order of the German Honorary Coin of the World War. The knights of the German Order of the Legion of Honor, along with the commanders, were also politicians, deputies and other "essentially domestic-minded" persons of a higher class. Among the most famous knights of the German Order of the Legion of Honor, in addition to the honorary patron of the infantry general Ludendorff, were Field Marshals Hindenburg, Mackensen, Grand Admiral Tirpitz, Colonel General Count von Botmer, Field Marshal Archduke Joseph of Hungary and Field Marshal Count von Hötzendorf. The magazine "Deutsche Ehrenlegion" is published with a circulation of about 5,000 copies. While the Council of the Order of the German Honorary Coin of the World War ceased to exist in 1934, the German Honorary Legion continued to exist and later joined the Kiefhauser Imperial Union.
