The orders from the various German states refer to the chivalric orders, decorations, and medals established by the different states within the territory of modern-day Germany throughout history. These orders were often created to recognize military achievements, loyalty, and service to the state or ruler. Examples of such orders include the Order of the Black Eagle in Prussia, the Order of the Red Eagle in Prussia, the Order of the Elephant in Brunswick, the Order of the White Falcon in Saxe-Weimar, and the Order of the Crown in Württemberg, among many others. Each order had its own distinctive insignia, rules of membership, and hierarchy.
