hello,


I dont know if this is the appropriate forum to ask this, if not my apologies .
I would like to know if anyone could tell me which were the decorations awarded to Otto Von Bismarck.


Thanks in advance!!

I know Bismarck was one of only three individuals to receive both the Peace and War Merit versions of the PLM. He received the War Merit PLM with Oak Leaves. He was also awarded the Iron Cross First and Second Classes. This is by far not a complete list as I have seen a grouping of his decorations in Berlin, but I just can't remember what they all were.

He also received the Prussian Life Saving Medal in 1842 (which was his first award) and many German and International Orders, mostly Grandcrosses as ..
Some Examples:
Prussia, Orden of the Black Eagle
Baden, House Orden of Fidelity
... and many more ...
