Bul le Mérite
The bull le mérite is an award given by the Bund Deutscher Kriminalbeamter (BDK), with which people in public life who have made a special and often very different service to internal security are honored.
history
The award was first presented in 1975. Fritz Krug, the then Bonn district chairman of the BDK, had the idea and created this BDK Order of Merit. The name comes from the former Prussian Order of Merit Pour le Mérite and was corrupted with the joking name for a police officer bull . As a platform for the award ceremony, a cheerful setting was deliberately sought on the one hand, but which on the other hand should not diminish the seriousness and meaning behind it. A carnival event organized by the BDK since 1970 seemed suitable for this. From 1975 to 2003, the award ceremony took place in the context of a carnival sprinkling session in front of 800-1000 guests in the town hall in Bonn-Bad Godesberg.
Since 2004, the award has been given in a separate ceremony.
