They are not generally illegal to wear. The whole law or regulation is quite complicated. Simply all political awards are forbidden to wear like Stasi, Police, FDJ etc. Awards like those from the fire departments, Red Cross or Lifesaving Medals are allowed to wear.

They are pretty low on my "to do" list but I have lots of items not yet presented on the forum which will be posted in 2013-4 (if I'm still alive).
The availability of them is also exaggerated by the fact that it is illegal to wear them in Germany so recipients sell them off.
