A memorial for the invasion of Munich in 1919 was established by Freikor Oberland, probably in the early 1930s. A fund to mark the 10th anniversary of the invasion is also possible. Members of the Oberland Freikorps who participated in the invasion and struggle against the Soviet Republic in Munich in 1919 were awarded. Not much is known about award requirements or award numbers. The badge manufacturer is Gg. Lindner is famous in Munich. The crosses of the company are made of thin sheet and painted. A simple brochure has the name of the company and was applied using filled zinc or lead with a plate. The higher quality mark shown here is made of a silver-plated alloy with enameled inserts with a needle system. Badges in silver are also known. More valuable badges were probably later obtained by the wearers. Despite the attitude towards the National Socialist Movement and the respected Freikorp Oberland, the sign was already banned from wearing in 1934, and was finally banned in 1935. This concerned production, trade and wear. The three runes in the middle of the cross were also a sign of the Teutonic Order in Bavaria.
