    What uniform is he wearing?

    I just got this picture from the ebay. Can someone tell me what uniform is this man in the picture wearing? is he wearing the order of the Johanniter? and do you have to be an aristocracy in order to qualify to wear them? Thanks in advance.

    Best regards

      Dear Spiess

      Thanks for the reply, can you tell me what are the differences between Catholic and Protestant Johanniterorden?

          That would be the national German branch of the Order of Malta, concerned mainly with charitable hospital work.

          It looks to me like he is wearing what may be the 1897 Wilhelm I Centenary Medal up high at the left shoulder.. let us know if there is any ID on the back etc when you get it.

          The Protestant equivalents call themselves Johanniterorden in Germany and the Order of Saint John in England-- all are still active and descend from the still existing pre-Reformation Order of Malta closely affiliated with the Vatican, and dating back to Crusader days. Nobility was required at least to WW2. Now-- ??
