The sports badge, renamed the German National Sports Badge (Deutsches Reichssportabzeichen) in 1933—also known as the Reich Sports Badge or, from 1937, as the German National Award for Physical Exercise—was an award in the field of mass sports, which was conferred during the National Socialist period from 1933 to 1944. With the decree of July 1, 1937, it was declared a state decoration (order).
