On 12 June 1900 the German Plenipotentiary to China, Baron Clemens von Ketteler, was murdered in the streets of Peking by members of the Imperial Guards Brigade. The Kaiser demanded that that the Emperor should erect a monument in Ketteler’s memory and that he should come to Berlin personally to apologise to the Kaiser. It was impossible for the Emperor himself to visit so his brother, the Second Prince Chung (and father of Pu-Yi), travelled to Europe in his stead. After waiting in Basel for a fortnight he was finally received by Wilhelm in September, 1901. As a gesture of goodwill, Chung had specially ordered Chinese Order insignia from the firm of Godet for presentation to German subjects during his visit and a number of awards were made. Official ‘Permission to Wear’ was not, however, sanctioned by Berlin.
