The German Legion of Honor was a veterans commemorative award of the Weimar Republic. The award was created in the 1920s under the authority of a "High Council of German Honor" composed of German veterans, many of whom had served as high-ranking officers or even as generals during World War I. The award was presented apparently for civic accomplishments in peacetime by veterans, with the criteria including the requirement that the recipient be an "excellent comrade and friend worthy of honor". The High Council of German Honor was also connected extensively with the Freikorps movement and frequently awarded the decoration as a paramilitary award.
