The Pour le Mérite, commonly known as the Blue Max, was established in 1740 by King Frederick II of Prussia as a military honor for extraordinary personal achievement. It gained legendary status during World War I, particularly among German aviators. The name “Blue Max” is believed to have come from Max Immelmann, an early recipient of the award.
