The title of "Ritter" (knight) may be bestowed to any Dundorfian, and the title of Würdigermann (Worthy Man) or Würdigerfrau (Worthy Woman) to any non-citizen deserving of recognition. All knights shall be referred to as the Ehrenwerter (Honorable) Herr/Frau (lastname). The title is purely symbolic and confers no special rights other than special respect from their peers. |

| Message | It goes without saying, we vote no. Noble titles, however powerless, still create a sense of superiority, superiority creates class conflict and elitism. These are two things we do not support. |
| Date | 15:09:03, August 07, 2019 CET | From | Dundorfischer Adler Partei | To | Debating the Bundespräsident Award Act |
| Message | We have always wanted this tradition to be a part of dundorfian customs, we vote yes. |
| Date | 01:00:50, August 09, 2019 CET | From | Wohlwollende Monarchie-Partei | To | Debating the Bundespräsident Award Act |
| Message | We counter the argument that noble titles create elitism. Rather, It will elevate deserving men and women, regardless of class, to be appreciated by their peers for their diligence and moral fortitude. The awards will not create a caste system of Ritter and other award winners. To jump to conclusions about a simple award is absurd. |
