On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the German singers alliance 1937 a.o. Bundesführer Albert Meister and Heinrich Vetter, representative Gauleiter of South Westfalia.
On the occasion of the "15th anniversary of the Führer's invasion of Coburg on 14th and 15th October 1937 ... the bearers of the Coburg badge of honour" with nearly 70 signatures of the approx. 400 bearers of the decoration, among them Duke Carl Eduard, former Gauleiter of the Deutsche Völkische Schutz- und Trutzbund Hans Dietrich et al.

The history of the NSDAP in Northern Bavaria is closely related to "March to Coburg" in October 1922. As Gauleiter of the Deutsch-Völkische Schutzbund Hans Dietrich had invited the NSDAP to attend the "German Day" in Coburg under the condition that Hitler appeared in person. Coburg subsequently became a bastion of National Socialism: it was the first German city in which the NSDAP won absolute majority in the city council elections in 1929 and which granted Hitler honorary citizenship in 1932. In commemoration of the "March to Coburg" Hitler introduced the Coburg badge of honour in 1932, one of the highest distinctions awarded to party members.
