Honor is an important factor in the structuration process of modern societies. In the social life of our days its main functions art. social integration, differentiation and the generation of power. One of the main forms of institutionalization of honor is the interaction pattern of honoring. In modern societies public honoring directs the constitution and distribution of honor. The article first gives some theoretical perspectives and then analyzes the logic of honoring in four short case studies taken from the situation of radical change after 1989. Change-overs and transformation processes offer very good insights into the basic mechanisms of honor. The case studies deal with, amongst others, the honors bestowed on Czech reform politicians, on the former chief of the SED Erich Honecker, and on Manfred Stolpe, now Prime Minister of Brandenburg. Finally, the question is raised in how far honor always transcends the borderlines between the subsystems of modern societies.
