The award

Party chief Walter Ulbricht awarding Karin Janz a silver Patriotic Order of Merit in 1968

The official language for the award stipulated it was given "for outstanding merit":

  • "in the struggle of the German and international labor movement and in the fight against fascism,"
  • "in the establishment, consolidation and fortification of the German Democratic Republic,"
  • "in the fight to secure peace and advance the international influence of the German Democratic Republic".[1]

The order was awarded in bronze, silver, gold and gold honor clasp (Ehrenspange) (for exceptional merit).[1] Each level was only awarded once and with the exception of the recipient of the honor clasp, all recipients received a sum of money.
