The Orb, Scepter and Crown, insignia of the Holy Roman Empire. These precious objects were brought to Frankfurt for every imperial coronation.

The crown of the Holy Roman Empire is now kept in the Schatzkammer of the Hofburg in Vienna. The crown was made in 962, when King Otto I the Great was crowned Emperor. Its bow, however, was added in 1027, when Emperor Conrad II was crowned, and it bears his name.
