Friedrich Order

The Friedrich Order, German: "Friedrichs-Orden" or "Friedrichsorden" was an order of merit of the German Kingdom of Württemberg. It was instituted on the first of January 1830 by the second king of Württemberg, Wilhelm I in remembrance of his father, King Friedrich I [Maximilian Gritzner;Ordenbuch] .

The order had one class. In 1856 four classes were created and in 1870 a knight's cross Ist Class and a military division with swords were added. In 1892 a medal was attached to the order [Nimmergut Katalog 2008] .

The ribbon was skyblue.

In 1918 the end of the monarchy meant the abolition of the order.
