    Wilhelm Pieck's Medal

    Found this pic of president Wilhelm Pieck in a 1950's DDR Aufbausparbuch that I could as part of a very nice document lot...anyhow, question is: can anyone tell me what medal it is that he is wearing in the portrait?.... I am sure that someone can.... Cheers, Torsten.

    Hello Torsten,so far as I can see its the first type "held der arbeit".Only given end 40's and begin 50's.
    Extremely rare medal.It was changed later for the models we know.

        Hi Stefas, thank you very much.... you're right...I guess it could be one of those and it probably is. Does anyone here on the forum have one of these in their collection? Cheers, Torsten.

                        Torsten - You are welcome. What was interesting for me was that the photographs in the book I own show that Pieck went from wearing his medals to wearing the ribbon bar on his suit jacket as the years went on as shown in post 10.

                          yes, or maybe he just preferred to wear the ribbon bar to wearing the full medal on certain occasions? Cheers, Torsten.
