This is a fantastic, not to be “bettered” mint example of the Kreissieger Award dated for the 1938.

The reverse of this 1938 HJ Kreissieger Badge is clearly marked “G. Brehmer, Markneukirchen” indicating manufacture by the firm of Gustav Brehmer, the only manufacturer of these authorized to make the highest (Reich) level awards. The hardware setup is intact and functional and features a wide, straight pin as is textbook on these. The 1938 HJ Kreissieger Badge is not very commonly encountered and is a desirable civilian award. This one would be hard to upgrade from.

The competitions were held, except for the painted 1944 one; no other competitions were run during the conflict years.

Kreissieger means District Winner, This was the local level award. There was also a Gausieger for the state level award. All were greatly desired and worked for. Competitions were held every spring in the Reichsberuf Wettkampf der Deutschen Jugend  – the idea
