The framed certificate translation reads:

Certificate of Honor. At the competition for Constitution Day in the year of the liberation of the Rhineland. 1930. Achieved a Victory: Mister Heinz Mellin, Grunauer Yacht Club. I award this certificate as recognition. Paul von Hindenburg President of the Empire.

Period mounted in a plain black frame. Paper shows the normal aging and has water mark at the top of the page. Neat piece of history.
