Cross of Honour of the German Mother – In Silver

The Cross of Honour of the German Mother – was a German State Decoration awarded in recognition of the importance of a women,s role in motherhood. It was first established by order of the German Government led by Adolf Hitler in 1938 and first awarded in 1939 – final award being on 8th of May 1945. The award was typical of the Nazi ideology and promoted the growth of the German population.

This award is in silver (classed as a Second Class) and was awarded to mothers whom gave birth to 6 or 7 children. The enamel and silver frosting are perfect and completely undamaged – superb. It comes with the white and blue neck ribbon as these awards were worn around the neck by the recipient.

These awards in all their forms are beautiful, not only an award but a superb piece of jewellery worn with pride by the Mothers at the time.
