History [ edit ]

The form of the Order of Merit was fundamentally changed by an amendment to the foundation announcement on 3 February 2016. Since then, the Order of Merit is no longer awarded as a medal , but in the form of a stylised cross with a medallion in the middle, on which the large state coat of arms with the lettering ?Baden-Wurttemberg“ is depicted.
