The medal with a diameter of 36 mm is silver-plated and shows the head portrait of Ernst Grube on its obverse in front of a red enameled workers' flag, the tip of which extends beyond the edge of the medal. Under his portrait on the right side lies a branch of laurel bent upwards. The medal was worn on the upper left side of the chest, the clasp was covered with a dark red ribbon. A 4.5 mm wide black, red and gold central stripe is woven into this band on both sides, starting with the color black 3 mm from the hem. The enamelled coat of arms of the DTSB is also placed between the national colors. The interim brace was of the same quality.
