The Federal Cross of Merit – officially the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany – honours special services to the community; it is awarded by the head of state. The “Patriotic Order of Merit” and the title “Hero of the GDR” only existed in the GDR (DDR). The Federal Eagle is the animal on the coat of arms, not an award.
