It was established on January 30, 1938, on Adolf Hitler's birthday, as a reward for loyalty to the regime. The Treudienst-Ehrenzeichen was awarded primarily to civil servants, Nazi Party officials, and other government and organizational employees who served loyally and fulfilled their duties for a specified period.
