\"\"Grand AKK Order of Merit\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Each carnival season, the AKK awards its Grand Order of Merit to people who have made an exceptional contribution to local traditions, especially Koblenz carnival. Recipients include members of the carnival community and supporters of its work.
Heinz Kassung designed the Grand Order of Merit, and Koblenz goldsmith Karl Flach made the first medals. Every medal is still crafted by hand.<\/p>\n
