Volkskrone

A Volkskrone (English: People's crown) is a heraldic crown seen in Germany after the First World War. When the German monarchy had been overthrown following the defeat in the war, this crown was created to replace the old coronets of rank in the arms of the German Länder, the states of the German federative republic. The crown is made of vine leaves. Because of its design, the crown is also known as a Laubkrone (leaf crown).
