The symbology of the Iron Cross goes back to the Christian cross and more specifically the crosses used in the crusades (e.g. the Maltese Cross). Thus the religious meaning of the cross was mixed with connotations of war, conquest and heroism. The Iron Cross as a military decoration was introduced by King Frederick William III of Prussia in 1813 as the highest military decoration in the Napoleonic War. It was awarded equally to soldiers of all military or social ranks. It was awarded for the most exceptional courage, bravery and heroism.
