Summary
| Description |
English: The Essen Crown was probably made between 1050 and 1100 in the Rhineland and is considered the oldest surviving lily crown in Europe. It is made of gilded silver and richly decorated with pearls, gemstones, and enamel work.
It was likely created for the coronation of the Golden Madonna of Essen in connection with the Essen Cathedral Treasury, although this assumption is not definitively proven. Today, the crown is part of the Essen Cathedral Treasury.
Deutsch: Die Essener Krone entstand vermutlich zwischen 1050 und 1100 im Rheinland und gilt als älteste erhaltene Lilienkrone Europas. Sie besteht aus vergoldetem Silber und ist mit Perlen, Edelsteinen und Emailarbeiten reich verziert. Vermutlich wurde sie für die Krönung der Goldenen Madonna im Zusammenhang mit dem Essener Münster geschaffen – eine Annahme, die jedoch nicht eindeutig belegt ist. Heute gehört die Krone zum Essener Domschatz. |
