The second class award was for 25 years of service was a silver cross, with a silver wreath and a black enameled swastika in the center of the cross.
The first class award was for 40 years of service was a gold cross, with a gold wreath and a black enameled swastika in the center of the cross.

Don't forget the 50 year cross, right?

Right, although it should be noted that the 50-year cross fell into a different category, as this particular class was not awarded to civil service personnel, but exclusively to persons from the commercial sector who had worked for the same company for 50 years.
