The Merit Cross for Military Chaplains (German: Geistliches Verdienstkreuz) was a military and civil award established on November 23, 1801, by Emperor Franz II in his function as Austrian monarch and was intended to honor military chaplains who excelled in fulfilling their duties in military pastoral care in a particularly strict and dangerous manner in service of the Habsburg Empire.[1]
