Orden del Águila Negra
The Order of the Black Eagle had only one class, but could also be awarded at the king's prerogative "with the Chain" (""mit der Kette") or without ("ohne Kette""). By statute, members of the order also held the Grand Cross of the Order of the Red Eagle, and wore the badge of that order from a ribbon around the neck. From 1862, members of the Prussian royal house, upon award of the Order of the Black Eagle, also received the Prussian Crown Order 1st Class.
