A WWII German Nazi enameled gilded brass gold level cross order medal. The Cross of Honour of the German Mother, German: Ehrenkreuz der Deutschen Mutter, referred to colloquially as the Mutterehrenkreuz, Mothers Cross of Honour or simply Mutterkreuz, Mothers Cross, was a state decoration conferred by the government of Nazi Germany to honour a German citizen mother for exceptional merit to the German nation. Eligibility later extended to include ethnic German Volksdeutsche mothers from, for example, Austria and Sudetenland, that had earlier been incorporated into the German Reich. Under the Nuremberg laws, German Jews and those of partial Jewish ancestry were not considered full citizens and were not eligible for the Cross of Honour. The decoration was conferred from 1939 until 1945 in three classes: bronze, silver, and gold, to Reichsdeutsche mothers who exhibited probity, exemplary motherhood, and who conceived and raised at least four children in the role of a parent.
