9. Prussia

Prussia is perhaps best known for being called the ‘Lesser Germany’ during the 19th century and how it influenced Germany immensely during that time.

The Crown Jewels of Prussia belonged to the crown kings of Prussia, belonging to the Hohenzollern dynasty. The set comprises – scepters, an orb and crowns. As it is not as adorned with precious stones, it is often called “rather plain” by its contemporaries, like – Russia and Britain. The older Crown Jewels of Prussia were often called the German Crown Jewels and included - royal Crown of Frederick I, royal Crown of Queen Sophie Charlotte, Royal Sceptre of Prussia and Royal Orb of Prussia. The set is currently on display in the Charlottenburg Palace, Berlin.
