German WW2 Cross Of Honour Of The German Mother Gold with ribbon. This award was instituted on 16 December 1938. The idea was to encourage German women of childbearing age to increase the size of their families and thus the population of the Third Reich. The Cross of Honour of the German Mother (Ehrenkreuz der deutschen Mutter) came in three classes. The third class in bronze was awarded to mothers bearing three to five children. The second class in silver to those bearing six to seven children, and the first class in gold for eight or more children . Only families of pure German origin were considered as qualifying for the award. The first awards were made in May 1939 and the last in 1944.
