Erinnerungskreuz für die Schleswig-Holsteinische Armee an die Kriegsjahre 1848-1849

The Cross was instituted by the Provisional Government of Schleswig Holstein at Kiel on 2 July 1850 to be awarded to the army for the war with Denmark of 1848-1849. It was cast from the iron cannon of the Danish ship of the line Christian VIII, destroyed by German bombardment at Eckernförde in April 1849. 

The ribbon is a modern replacement.
