List of winners of the Great Gold Medal of Honor with the Star for Services to the Republic of Austria (1952)

This non-exhaustive list includes owners of the Great Golden Decoration of Honor with the Star for Services to the Republic of Austria (1952) with brief details about the person and, if known, the occasion of the award.

For the sake of consistency, the occupation or function designations always include the occupation learned (if relevant, otherwise the occupation exercised at the time of the award) and below the function, ranked according to political level.

The entries are sorted alphabetically within the year, if known, according to the year of award or publication, but the year information is blurred due to the different sources, as the time from the application to the award to the announcement can be several months.

A - partly incomplete - list can be found in a query response from the Federal Chancellor:
