THE GERMAN & IMPERIAL REGALIA

THE KINGDOM OF GERMANY
The Royal Crown of Otto III (10th century), used at his coronation in Aachen in 983, is safeguarded at the Cathedral Treasury in Essen. The crown consists of a gold rim with four fleur-de-lys and is decorated with numerous gems and pearls. It's diameter is 11,8 cm and the height of the crown is 3,6-7,7 cm. Some German historians date the crown to the 11th c. In such case it could not have been used at Otto III's coronation.
