History


The Civil Long Service Medal was instituted by Duke Carl Alexander in 1835. The medal was awarded in gold and in silver to civil servants and court officials in recognition of 50 years of loyal and distinguished service. The stamp was created by Brosenius from Quedlinburg. The medal was produced by D. Loos & Sohn, Berlin. In 1843, only senior officials and clergy were eligible for the gold medal. In 1863, the award was discontinued, but retained in a different form for the united duchy of Anhalt.
