History and meaning

It was donated in December 1952 by the board of the Schleswig-Holsteinisches Heimatbundesal, an annual award for men and women “who,” as it was said, “have rendered outstanding services to the German nationality of our country and to Schleswig-Holstein's ideas. “In fact, the Lornsen chain was awarded at irregular intervals, for the first time on June 7, 1953. With the change in the political orientation of the Heimatbund, the foundation's purpose was reformulated to honor individuals“ who are particularly concerned with promoting culture in Schleswig-Holstein deserved. "The Lornsen chain is considered to be" one of the highest cultural honors in Schleswig-Holstein. "
