Why not "Baden Verdienstmedaille"?
It's another possibility IMHO.

[Admiraal]

Look up where he was born, maybe that helps to determin Bayern/Baden.

He was born in 1897, in Hamburg

Hamburg is as far away from Baden as from Bayern...

Could we see from his unit if he could have been related to a Bavaria or Badenia unit?

As the stamp we can see on the picture is from a "Mannheim" unit Baden could be nearer.
