This was awarded for merits in the field of the People’s Welfare, the Winter Relief, the care of the sick and wounded in peace and war, the rescue, the maintenance of German nationality and the care of German national comrades abroad. The award is constructed out of a two-piece die stamped tombak base that had been gold fire gilded with black and white enamel work and finished in a protective lacquer coating. The obverse features a gold outlined white Greek style cross behind a black national eagle clutching a gold wreathed black mobile swastika in its talons.

The bottom interior of the case is made of a blue velvet material that outlines the award. The bottom exterior of the case is clearly maker marked: “Gebr. Godet Berlin & Co.
