Great finds one and all. This information might prove helpful for your medal.

1848/1849 Hohenzollern Denkmünze für Kämpfer (1848/1849 Hohenzollern Campaign Medal for Combatants )
The medal with the image of the cross of the Royal House Order of Hohenzollern; the reverse inscribed ‘FRIEDRICH WILHELM IV’ and dated 1848-1849 above and below the inscription, circumscribed ‘SEINEN BIS IN DEN TOD GETREUEN KRIEGERN’ (His warrior loyal unto death)

Established on 23 August 1851 by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia (at the same time as the Hohenzollern House Order). It was made in the Royal Mint in Berlin (campaign medals manufactured there had a very distinctive suspender ring - called a ribbed eyelet - through which the ribbon ring was mounted). It was given to combatant Prussian troops (officers, NCOs, and soldiers who had faithfully served) for service in the anti-revolutionary battles of 1848/1849. In addition, it was awarded for Danish battles in 1849.

Looking more closely at the photos I like the piece above the medal even more. You should very gently try to straighten it out. Was it a pin at one point?
