History


The Cross for Security Services was established on February 10, 1906 by Prince Regent Luitpold. It was awarded to individuals for long and exceptional service within the Security Service.

Unlike the I Class Cross, the II Class Cross does not feature green enamelled branched in the quadrants between the arms.
