Orders and Decorations of the State of Hesse
Performance specification
Many areas of our society live from the personal commitment of citizens. This willingness is particularly pronounced in Hessen. Around 2 million volunteers work for the common good in a wide variety of ways.
Hessen knows the importance of this commitment for a functioning community and says THANK YOU.
For exemplary commitment, citizens are therefore awarded the highest form of state recognition: orders and decorations.
