The Naval Wound Badge, also known as Marineverwundetenabzeichen, was established on June 24, 1918, by Wilhelm II for Imperial Navy personnel. The Kaiserliche Marine Wound Badge came in three colours, black (3rd class, representing Iron), awarded for those wounded once or twice by hostile action; Silver (2nd class) for being wounded three or four times; and Gold (1st class) for five or more times wounded. When a severe wound occurred, such as loss of a limb or eyesight, the silver badge was awarded.

Naval Wound Badges were only introduced towards the end of World War I, but many wounded sailors didn’t receive their awards. It wasn’t until January 30, 1936, that the Ministry of Interior Affairs declared veterans eligible for the award with documented proof of their wounds. The Model 1918 Naval Wound Badges was presented to veterans until late 1941.
