German Awards - Fire Honour Badge 2. Hanover Province 1920

This award was established by the Provincial Fire Union of Hanover on 25-26 June 1919 at a board meeting in Goslar. The Badge of Honor was established as a medal in 2 classes. 1st class caught up with 2nd class in form and design. 1st class is gilded from silver, 2nd class - only from silver.
Honorary badges were awarded to fire volunteers and professional firefighters for services to firefighting. Repeatedly awarded the honorary badge of the 2nd class also for 25 years of service. Due to the poor financial situation of the union, honorary badges had to be received and paid for. Medals have silver stamps of 800 or 900 on the rim or on top next to the ear. Lehmann and Wünnenberg from Hanover are known as the manufacturer of the badge of honor.
