Description
This is the Award Document (Urkunde) for the Red Eagle Order 4th Class. The document measures 13″ x 8 1/4,” folded and 13″ x 16 1/2″ unfolded. It is a preprinted award document, as this class of the Red Eagle Order was most commonly issued. The man to whom it was awarded was Carl Friedrich Rohte. He was not a military man, as it is not mentioned. The document and award were issued on 17 June 1910. The document shows the Prussian Coat-of-Arms, as the Red Eagle and the Orden Pour le Mérite were Prussia’s two oldest decorations.
