The Iron Cross (German: 
Eisernes Kreuz (help·info)) is a cross symbol typically in black with a white or silver outline that originated after 1219 when the Christians european knights, artisans, and farmers lived in a totally integrated society, from the native inhabitants, who were thoroughly Arabicized and/or Islamicized and were a constant threat from the european foreign crusaders.Kingdom of Jerusalem granted the Teutonic Order (a German kingdom) The Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary (a purely religious Catholic order) in Jerusalem the right to combine the Teutonic Black Cross (formed to aid Christians) placed above a silver Cross of Jerusalem (a Holy Roman Empire from Henry IV, the German king) .
The military decoration called the Iron Cross which existed in the Kingdom of Prussia, and later in the German Empire and Third Reich, was established by King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia and first awarded on 10 March 1813 in Breslau, during the Napoleonic Wars. The recommissioned Iron Cross was also awarded during the Franco-Prussian War, World War I, and World War II. The Iron Cross was normally a military decoration only, though there were instances of it being awarded to civilians for performing military functions. Two examples of this were civilian test pilots Hanna Reitsch and Melitta Schenk Gräfin von Stauffenberg, who were awarded the Iron Cross 1st Class and 2nd Class respectively for their actions as pilots during World War II.
