Order from the fan
The Order of the Fan was a Prussian house order . It was donated by Crown Princess Luise Ulrike von Prussia , who later became the wife of the Swedish King Adolf Friedrich, in 1744.

The order is also used in literature under the name of the donor order of Luise Ulrike and is occasionally classified as an order of knights . The time of its extinction is not known.
