Bavarian Bravery Medal

Awarded for acts of bravery in combat.

Ehrenbecher  (Cup of Honour)

A special award given from the Rittmeister himself, the Ehrenbecher was designed by Manfred von Richthofen.  This award is to be ceremoniously given to each pilot that scores his first kill.

Iron Cross 2nd Class

The Iron Cross was awarded in three Classes:  the Grand Cross ("Grosskreuz") for senior commanders (only 5 awarded), 2nd Class for individual merit in combat (5 million), and the 1st Class for acts of heroism or bravery in combat (1 million).  The Eisernes Kreuz all looked the same, it's where you wore them that told the difference:  Grand Cross around the neck, 1st Class pinned to the left side of the tunic about two inches above the belt, and for the 2nd Class, you merely wore the ribbon looped through the second button hole in the front of the uniform.  The Iron Cross has the distinction of being one of the few Prussian awards handed out to both officers and enlisted men equally - probably because of it's long history as an award for valor. The Iron Cross, 2nd Class, usually came after a few successful missions (for 2-seater pilots) or the first few "kills" for a Kampflieger.

Austro-Hungarian Empire Bravery Medal 

Classes: Four; the Gold, the Silver in first and second class and the Bronze.  The Bravery Medal (Tapferkeits Medaille) was awarded to military personnel for acts of bravery in combat. For each subsequent act of bravery, recipients were awarded a bar in the appropriate class.

Iron Cross 1st Class

The Iron Cross was originally established on 10 March 1813 by King Friedrich Wilhelm III. It was reestablished in 1870 during the Franco-Prussian war and again on 5 August 1914 by Wilhelm II, Emperor of Germany and King of Prussia.  Issued in three classes, the 1914 Iron Cross was awarded without regard for nationality or social class to combatants and noncombatants for acts of heroism, bravery or leadership. Although the medals of each class were identical, the manner in which each was worn differed. Employing a pin or screw posts on the back of the medal, the Iron Cross First Class was worn on the left side of the recipient's uniform. 

Gold Long Service Award with Crown

This award was issued for length of service.

Wilhelm Ernst War Cross 

Grand Duke Wilhelm Ernst founded the Wilhelm Ernst War Cross on June 10, 1915. It was awarded without regard to rank, but otherwise had strict requirements: the recipient must have already received the Iron Cross 1st Class.

The Prussian House Order of Hohenzollern - Knights Eagle

Issued in 1851, the House Order of Hohenzollern always had a special position among the Prussian orders. The highest grade was awarded to bearer's of the Prussian Black Eagle Order only.  They have almost  only been awarded to either citizens in teaching positions or priests. The eagles were more or less given to retirees for their dedicated and honorable service to the Prussian state.
