The Iron Cross is closely associated to Germany since here it represents the highest military commendation. It was founded by emperor Friedrich Wilhelm III. of Prussia in 1813 during the war agains Napoleon and consists of silver rimmed iron. It was awarded in all later wars up to Worldwar 1.

The symbol of the spiral fascinates human kind for eons. Maybe that is because man encounteres spirals in nature in ever new amazing ways.

Depending on rotational direction the meaning of the symbol changes:
A counterclockwise spiral is an allegory of involution. It stands for the movement towards the center, inwards to the center of the energy.
A clockwise spiral moves outward. Here it is a symbol for movement, expansion, development and embracing of life.
In symbolism it stands for the continuity of progress. A spiral is always in motion, so it also symbolizes central and endless motion.
