In 1871 a design and model for a new crown was created to reflect the new German Empire. The model was based upon the old Holy Roman Empire's Crown, and was kept in the Hohenzollern museum at Schloss Monbijou in Berlin, until it disappered during World War II, and has never re-surfaced.
No final Crown was ever made, however the design was used as a heraldic device for the German Kings from 1871 unrtil Kaiser Wilhelm's abdication in 1918.
