Imperial Coat of arms of Germany (1848) - Pint Glass 16oz

The Imperial Coat of Arms of Germany from 1848 is a historical heraldic symbol that represents the German Empire, which existed from 1871 until 1918. This particular design emerged after the Frankfurt Parliament, convened in 1848, adopted the first German constitution and required a coat of arms to symbolize the new entity. The design consists of an eagle (symbolizing strength) with outspread wings, clutching a bundle of arrows and an oak branch (representing peace), both surmounting a shield bearing three black bars on a golden background (the colors of the Prussian state, as Prussia played a significant role in unifying Germany). The Imperial Coat of Arms served as a powerful visual symbol during the era, representing unity and stability within the German Empire.
