(GDR).

It was given for "outstanding achievements of many years which stabilized and strengthened the country, and in particular for high results of working in the national economy".

The order was established on August 4 1954 in one class. On August 8 1974 it was divided into three classes. The 1st Class was the highest class and each class included a cash award:

*1st Class: 1,000 East Marks, limited to 250 per year
*2nd Class: 750 East Marks, limited to 500 per year

For collectives with up to 20 members, there were cash awards of 2,000, 3,500 and 5,000 Marks per member.

The Banner of Labor was awarded to:

* Individuals and collectives in all three classes.
* Enterprises, Collective organizations ( _de. Kombinate), institutions and cooperatives in the 1st Class.

A prerequisite was that individuals and members of collectives already have received other state awards. The Order could be given in any class several times, even to citizens of other countries.

The awards ceremony took place each year on 1 May and this order was presented by the Chairman of the State Council or on his behalf. A certificate was presented with the Order.
