Crown Jewels of Württemberg

The appearance of the crown was last modified during 1897 by the court jeweller August Heinrich Kuhn for King William II of Württemberg.

In 1945 the crown was confiscated by French troops from a bank vault in Biberach an der Riß.

The crown jewels also include the Diamond Diadem created for Queen Pauline of Württemberg in 1820.

The collection also includes a golden dinner set given to the king in 1816 by Grand Duchess (and later Queen) Catherine Pavlovna of Russia.

Today some of the collection including the Crown and Diadem can be viewed at the Landesmuseum Württemberg.
