Crown cross
The crown cross is the symbol of the Diaconal Work in Germany as well as the Diakonie Austria , the Polish Diaconia and the European association Eurodiaconia.
It was designed by Richard Boeland in 1925 for the Inner Mission . The symbol was formed by combining the initial letters of the Inner Mission, with the I forming the longitudinal bar and an uncial M the transverse bar with structure. After the foundation of the Diakonisches Werk, the crown cross was taken over by it.
The cross is an indication of need and death, the crown indicates hope and resurrection . The combination of the two elements should inspire confidence that hardship and death can be overcome through faith in Jesus Christ .
