Procedure details
Description
The Pin Cross is awarded for special services to the respective voluntary aid organization. A strict standard must be applied when recognizing merit.
The Pin Cross is awarded by the State Minister of the Interior, for Sport and Integration as a badge of honor for special services to voluntary aid organizations involved in disaster relief and rescue services.
- Bavarian Red Cross (BRK),
- Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund Landesverband Bayern e.V. (ASB),
- Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e.V. Landesverband Bayern (JUH),
- Malteser Hilfsdienst e.V. Bayern (MHD),
- Deutsche Lebens-Rettungs-Gesellschaft Landesverband Bayern e.V. (DLRG) or
- the Federal Agency for Technical Relief Bavarian State Association (THW)
are awarded.
The Pin Cross is primarily intended to honor people who have shown particular dedication and commitment to the rescue service and disaster control.
Many years of service in the rescue service or disaster control alone are not enough. A strict standard must be applied when recognizing merit.
As a matter of principle, the President of the Regional Government presents the recipients with a pin, a smaller version of the ribbon buckle and the award certificate.
Requirements
The nominees must have rendered special services to the respective aid organization in the rescue service or disaster control; many years of service in the rescue service or disaster control alone are not sufficient.
The Cross may not be awarded as long as the person has an unrestricted entry in the Federal Central Criminal Register due to a legally binding conviction. The person to be honored must also be worthy of an award based on their other conduct.
Proceedings
Proposals for the award of the Pin Cross can only be submitted to the State Ministry of the Interior, Sport and Integration by the President of the Bavarian Red Cross or by the regional chairpersons or regional representatives.
In addition to personal details (first name and surname, profession, date and place of birth, main residence), each award proposal must contain a detailed description of the special services rendered to the organization. The current number of active service members of the respective organization must be communicated with each award proposal; No. 2.2.1 of the implementation notice of the Fire Service and Relief Organizations Decoration of Honour Act specifies a maximum annual number of proposals per organization.
Deadlines
Proposals for the award of the Pin Cross can be submitted twice a year, on April 1 and October 1.
