The Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany (German: Verdienstorden der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, or Bundesverdienstorden, BVO) is the only federal decoration of Germany. It is awarded for special achievements in political, economic, cultural, intellectual or honorary fields. It was created by the first President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Theodor Heuss, on 7 September 1951. Colloquially, the decorations of the different classes of the Order are also known as the Federal Cross of Merit (Bundesverdienstkreuz)

The Cross of Honor: The Bundeswehr Cross of Honor is an expression of outstanding achievements and a national medal of honor approved by the Federal President, which falls under the Law on Titles, Orders and Decorations of July 26, 1957. This means that only the minister can award the Bundeswehr Cross of Honor. This means that a "free-hand" award by superiors is not possible. The Bundeswehr Cross of Honor was awarded for the first time by the then Minister of Defense Hans Apel on November 12, 1980 to soldiers and civilian personnel of the Bundeswehr and exists in five levels. The Bronze Cross of Honor is awarded after five years of service, the Silver Cross after ten years and the Gold Cross after 20 years. In 2008, two additional special forms of the Bundeswehr's medal of honor were added: the Silver Cross of Honor with a red border for particularly outstanding deeds without direct danger to life and the Gold Cross of Honor with a red border for heroic deeds that involved danger to one's own life
