HAMBURG, LÜBECK, AND BREMEN – HANSEATIC CROSSES – ORIGINAL PRESENTATION CASE – AWARDED – AUSTRIA’S ARCHDUKE EUGEN
Here are THREE Hanseatic Crosses from the Free States of Hamburg, Lübeck, and Bremen in the original presentation case. They were Archduke Eugen (1863-1954) of Austria’s personal property. The presentation case measures 4″ x 7 1/2″ x 1.” The words “Hanseaten Kreuze Bremen, Hamburg, and Lübeck” are embossed in gold on the outer lid. (My research does not show when these decorations were awarded). Opening the case, the three crosses are lined up from left to right: Bremen, Hamburg, and Lübeck. Each is in a fitted section that accommodates the cross and its trifold ribbon. That said, only the Lübeck cross has a ribbon attached. It has a very interesting feature. Attached on the upper white silk lid above each decoration is the correct ribbon.
While the name Rothe & Neffe does NOT appear on the case’s upper lid, all its features are identical to that of the Roethe & Neffe Oldenburg Friedrich August Crosses case. It has an all-red leatherette exterior, with the exception of the black bottom. It is a very handsome set of three decorations.

This is a reproduction of the famous Ordenkissen (Order Pillow) used in WW I. They were used at combat-stricken German officers’ funerals.

GERMANY – ORDER PILLOW – ORDENKISSEN
This is a reproduction of the famous Ordenkissen (Order Pillow) used in WW I. They were used at combat-stricken German officers’ funerals. [Funeral photographs of PLM-winning pilots Oswald Boelcke and Max Immelmann in particular show a fellow officer walking ahead of the casket, holding before him the dead officer’s Ordenkissen displaying the orders and decorations each had been awarded. The Ordenkissen was also placed in front of the pilot’s casket at the church wherein his final services were held. The Ordenkissen played an important part in the rituals for burying an officer who had died for his Emperor and Fatherland]. I had this Ordenkissen constructed many years ago to display decorations at militaria shows. As I no longer attend shows, it is surplus to my needs. It is made of black velvet surrounded by a red rope-like trim and measures 16″ x 10″ x 4.” In the accompanying photos I will show you the Ordenkissen with and without decorations. (Needless to say what is displayed on the Ordenkissen is NOT a part of the sale)! It is a marvelous way to display decorations and badges, whether they are authentic or reproduction.
