The thread Wagriff referenced is for Veteran's visors prior to 1914.
Before and during WW1, there were a number of non-active duty reservists, and they wore the Iron Cross on their cockade to signify their status.
Your hat would be for such a reservist.
This thread has additional examples of Technical Troops visors:
Technical Troops (Feldgrau): Artillery, Pioneer & Verkehrstruppen Visors
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
The Dunkelblau (dark-blue) were worn before the war:
Technical Troops (Dunkelblau) Visors: Artillery, Pioneer, & Verkehrstruppen
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Very Nice! Thanks 'stonemint'. Are all those hats yours? Superb Collection Sir!!!
