The rescue medal for rescue from danger (Thuringia) and on the right the non-wearable commemorative badge for rescue from danger (both graphic representations)

The Rescue Medal for Rescue from Danger (Thuringia) was donated by ordinance on January 1, 1994 (retrospectively with a decree of August 18, 1994) by then Minister of the Interior Franz Schuster . A new version came into force on December 22, 2010.

General

Rescue acts that were carried out at the risk of one's own life on the territory of the Free State of Thuringia are recognized by the Free State of Thuringia. This recognition consists of:

  • 1. the awarding of the rescue medal on the ribbon or
  • 2. the award of the commemorative badge or
  • 3. a public commendation.

In addition to the condition that the rescuer is domiciled in Thuringia at the time of the rescue act , a reward in cash can be granted in addition to the above-mentioned recognitions.

Award practice

The Lifesaving Medal for rescue from danger is awarded only to those persons who are subject Fatal saved or particularly threatening and dangerous circumstances human life or averted a life-threatening danger to the community. The rescuer must have shown and exercised an extraordinary degree of personal commitment and willingness to make sacrifices. The commemorative badge for rescue from danger (a non-wearable medal of the same quality as the rescue medal, only held in old silver ) is awarded if the rescuer was only in less serious danger or a life-threatening danger to the general public was prevented. The public commendation, on the other hand, is only considered if the circumstances of the rescue act do not justify the award of the rescue medal or the commemorative badge. Otherwise the medal and the commemorative badge become the property of the borrower.

Proposal process and award practice

The Ministry of the Interior must be notified of all three of the above-mentioned recognitions. The notification must state whether all the requirements for recognition in the course of the rescue act have been met by the rescuer. For this purpose, the rescuer himself and, if necessary, eyewitnesses of the rescue act must be questioned. Furthermore, the report must reflect a coherent and complete description of the rescue act. In addition to these requirements is the birthday and place of birth, marital status , accompanied by professional / commercial and residential address of the Savior, as well as his nationality and date and place of deliverance itself. Responsibility for this are the respective district offices and the independent cities, in whose territory the Rescue act took place. However, the award of all three recognitions is to be refused for persons who are entrusted with the protection of the lives of others and who only acted in the performance of their professional duties during the rescue act. The award itself is ultimately the responsibility of the Interior Ministry of the Free State of Thuringia. In the course of this, the rescuer is given a certificate signed by the Minister of the Interior and a certificate for the commemorative badge. In the case of posthumous awards, the medal and the award certificate are given to the bereaved.

Handling of previous rescue awards

Previously awarded rescue medals, which were awarded between June 22, 1933 and October 2, 1990 on the territory of the Free State of Thuringia, can be exchanged for the current form at the Thuringia Ministry of the Interior upon application . This regulation also applies to those who have their permanent residence in Thuringia. Rescue acts carried out after October 3, 1990 to December 31, 1993 can be recognized retrospectively.

Appearance and material

The rescue medal itself consists of a gold-colored medal and has a diameter of 30 mm. It shows on its front center the state coat of arms of Thuringia in sublime characteristics, including circular inscription in raised capital letters: THÜRINGEN. The back shows the edged of an oak wreath inscription FÜR RETTUNG AUS GEFAHR. The medal itself is worn on the left side of the chest on a red, white and red ribbon with a gold-colored hem, into which a narrow orange stripe is woven. The medal includes a miniature and a ribbon buckle . The non-wearable commemorative medal is similar to the rescue medal but is silver. The ordinance came into force on January 1, 1994.
