Order of Merit of the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
The Order of Merit of the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is the highest order of merit awarded by the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It was created on April 23, 2001 by the law on the Order of Merit of the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (LOrdensG MV) and was first awarded on June 1, 2002. The award is made by the Prime Minister "in recognition of special services to the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and its people". The Prime Minister, the President of the State Parliament and, for their area of responsibility, the members of the State Government are entitled to make proposals. Anyone who has suggestions for the award of the medal can, however, turn to the nominees. If a holder of the order proves to be unworthy of the honor through his behavior or if such behavior is subsequently known, the Prime Minister can revoke the award.
Order decoration
The medal has the shape of a cross with concave wings in the red of the national colors with a gold border. The center piece is a round, gold medallion with the large national coat of arms on the front. The reverse bears the inscription “For Merit” and the inscription “Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania” in the center.
