Miniature Mother's Cross in Bronze

Miniature Mother’s Cross in Bronze (Ehrenkreuz der Deutschen Mutter)

This is an original miniature version of the Mother’s Cross in Bronze, officially known as the Ehrenkreuz der Deutschen Mutter. Instituted by Adolf Hitler on December 16, 1938, the Mother’s Cross was awarded to German mothers who exhibited exemplary motherhood by raising multiple children in accordance with state ideals.

Key Features:

• Bronze class miniature with excellent enamel work
• Features the blue and white enamel cross with gilt sunburst and central swastika, inscribed with “Der Deutschen Mutter”
• Mounted on its original bow-style ribbon for wear, intended for civilian attire
• Reverse is engraved with “16 Dezember 1938” and Adolf Hitler’s facsimile signature

Overall condition is very good, showing only minor age patina and wear to the reverse, consistent with age

This version was commonly worn for formal occasions or on non-uniform garments and is significantly rarer than the full-sized cross. An excellent addition to any collection of Third Reich awards, WWII memorabilia, or women’s decorations.
