The Kingdom of Hannover was a state in northwestern Germany that existed from 1814 to 1866. During this time, the Kingdom of Hannover established a number of orders and decorations to honor individuals who had distinguished themselves in various areas, such as military service, public service, or cultural achievement. The Order of Saint George was one such order, established in 1839 by King Ernest Augustus I of Hannover. The order was named after Saint George, the patron saint of soldiers, and was awarded to individuals who had demonstrated outstanding military service. The Order of Saint George Breast Star is a distinctive insignia that was awarded to members of the order who had achieved the rank of Knight Commander or higher.
