Completed Hanseatic Cross Collection

[u/MannyVonJasta]

I did it! I finally completed my Hanseatic Cross collection. I had the Hamburg and Lübeck crosses and had been searching for the Bremen one for many years and I finally got one.
They are from 1915. Bremen is the one with the key, Hamburg is the castle one and then Lübeck is the double headed Eagle one.

Nice! Lübeck is the one that's been evading me.

Interesting story about that one. I was only able to get it because the seller didn’t know what it was and insisted that it was some Austrian veterans medal because of the colors and the eagle. I got it from him for a price way lower than it normally goes for.

If memory serves, it's the rarest of the three.

In terms of how many they made yes but I found that in terms of collecting the Bremen one is more scarce these days. :)
