For the medal, let Google be your friend. 
If you Google the phrase "grunder DD reiches", you'll find lots of examples of this medal, and medals just like it, for sale on various European sites. This German site has two, one in VF, one in Fine/VF - scroll down to catalogue number 921-413 and -414. According to that site, they're undated but issued "circa 1915".
Both of those medals have loops attached to them; yours seems to have some damage at the top where a loop was removed, so presumably they were made with loops.
Given the assumed issue date, they are probably patriotic medals, sold to raise funds for the war effort.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
