Description
The Iron Cross is a cross symbol typically in black with a white or silver outline that originated after 1219 when the Kingdom of Jerusalem granted the Teutonic Order the right to combine the Teutonic Black Cross and the silver Cross of Jerusalem. The Iron Cross was also a military decoration awarded to soldiers in the Kingdom of Prussia and later in the German Empire and Third Reich. Today, the Iron Cross is the symbol of the Bundeswehr, the modern German armed forces. The Iron Cross has been popular with many bikers, hot rodders and others, using iconic militaria to promote a tough-guy image, or as a symbol of rebellion or non-conformity.
