Medal for excellent performance in the water management of the German Democratic Republic
The medal for excellent performance in the water management of the German Democratic Republic was a state award of the German Democratic Republic (GDR). The medal was donated on January 30, 1975 in one step. It was awarded for excellent performance in socialist competition as well as the fulfillment or over-fulfillment of the tasks set by the water management of the GDR, in connection with many years of activity in this area. However, the maximum number of awards was limited to 100 carriers annually. The medal could only be awarded once to the same person.
Appearance and wearing style
The gold-plated medal with a diameter of 30 mm showed on its obverse a stylized dam with water waves thrown up in front of it. A small branch of laurel arches over it. The reverse of the medal, on the other hand, shows the small state coat of arms of the GDR at the bottom and the five-line inscription at the top: FOR / OUTSTANDING / LEISTUNGEN / IN DER / WASSERWIRTSCHAFT . The medal was worn on the upper left side of the chest on a 25 × 13 mm wide light blue clasp in which a 2.5 mm wide dark gray central stripe was woven vertically.
