List of bearers of the badge of honor for services to the state of Vienna

This list includes holders of the badge of honor for services to the State of Vienna . The short comment after the name should make the reason or the function of the person on or before the award date clear.

If known, the entries are sorted alphabetically within the year according to the year of award or publication. However, due to the various sources, the dates of the year are blurred, as the time from the application to the award to the announcement can be several months.

The list is by no means complete.
