Now Viewing: iron_crossTag type: General A German military decoration awarded first by Prussia in the 1800s and later by Germany until 1945. Though the Iron Cross is most often portrayed as a cross-shaped, solid medal, on many uniforms the Iron Cross was worn as a red-white-black ribbon through a shirt's buttonhole. "Iron Cross" also refers to a flared-out cross reminiscent of the Iron Cross's shape, most often in the context of German military emblems. Not to be confused with the balkenkreuz, but sometimes used in place of one.
