Pestalozzi Medal For Loyal Service.

Pestalozzi-Medaille für treue Dienste

Named after the famous educational figure Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746-1827), this medal -- created 15 Nov 1956) was awarded for long service in education. The first class in gold was awarded for 40 years of service (for 30 after 1970), the second class in silver for 25 years (for 20 years after 1966), and the third class in bronze for 10 years.

There are five varieties (see Barthel 3rd ed., 1:122).
