    The document is the award certificate and translates as:



    "In the name of the Führer and Reichs Chancellor

    Maria Ganser, farmer and innkeeper, Gerichtstetten*

    has been decorated with the

    Honor Cross for Widows

    instituted by Reichs President
    Generalfeldmarschall von Hindenburg.

    Buchen i.O.**), 11th March 1935
    The
    Landrat***)
