- Iron Cross (1939) 2nd and 1st Class
- German Cross in Gold on 18 March 1945 as Unteroffizier in Festungs-Pak-Kompanie 13/X[1]

Notes
- ↑ Berzen's nomination of the Außenstelle of the Heerespersonalamt (HPA/A—Branch of the Army Staff Office) was ready for signature at the end of the war. According to the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) the award was presented in accordance with the Dönitz-decree. This is illegal according to the Deutsche Dienststelle (WASt) and lacks legal justification. The presentation date was assigned by Walther-Peer Fellgiebel.[3]
