In June 2011 Caroline Bergius was awarded the Bundesverdienstkreuz for her services to music by the former President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Christian Wulff. She performs on a (double-manual) harpsichord made by Martin Sassmann in 1984. It is a replica of an instrument created in 1639 by the Flemish maker, Andreas Ruckers.
