Lot 4309 | Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria (1858 - 1921) - persönliche Kfz-Standarte mit Dokumentation
Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria (1858 - 1921) - persönliche Kfz-Standarte mit Dokumentation
Zweilagiges, gelbes Seidentuch, beidseitig reich bestickt mit schwarzer und farbiger Seide, dabei der bekrönte Hohenzollernadler, die Collane des Hohen Ordens vom Schwarzen Adler und das Eiserne Kreuz (1870). Etwas gedunkelt, teils fleckig, Gebrauchs- und Altersspuren. Maße aufgefaltet ca. 45 x 84 cm, zusammengelegt ca. 45 x 42 cm. Nach Einliefererangabe stabilisierte ein Rahmen, der jetzt fehlt, das Tuch und ermöglichte die Befestigung an einer Stange des Fahrzeuges.
Dazu eine Mappe mit Dokumenten, datiert 1961 - 1963, aus denen hervorgeht, dass die vorliegende Standarte in der Zeit des Umzuges des Kaisers in die Niederlande ein Geschenk an Ernst Wupper, Fahrer im kaiserlichen Dienst, war: "Mein Mann sagte mir, der Prinz (Eitel Friedrich, d.A.) habe gesagt: Herr Wupper, behalten Sie die Standarte als Andenken!". Die Generalverwaltung des vormals regierenden preußischen Königshauses bemüht sich nun mit Julius Knoop, ab 1908 Fahrer des Kaiserpaares, um Herausgabe der Standarte aus dem Besitz des Beschenkten, dabei auch Briefwechsel mit Knoop persönlich. Außerdem ein Zeitungsartikel "Des Kaisers Leibchauffeur" aus der "Welt" vom 15.12.2005 über Julius Knoop (1887 - 1967).
Einzigartiges Zeitzeugnis aus Familienbesitz, wesentlich seltener als die Kaiserinstandarte der Marine mit gleicher Symbolik.
Empress Auguste Viktoria (1858 - 1921) - her personal car pennant with documentation
Empress Auguste Viktoria (1858 - 1921) - her personal car pennant with documentation
Two-layered yellow silk, both sides richly embroidered with black and coloured silk, including the crowned Hohenzollern eagle, collar of the High Order of the Black Eagle and the Iron Cross (1870). Somewhat darkened, partly stained, traces of use and age. Dimensions unfolded approx. 45 x 84 cm, folded approx. 45 x 42 cm. According to the consignor a frame, now missing, stabilised the cloth and was used to fix it to a pole of the car.
Comes with a folder containing documents dated 1961 – 1963, which show that the pennant at hand was a gift to Ernst Wupper, driver in the service of the imperial family, during the time the Emperor moved to the Netherlands: (tr.) "My husband has told me that the Prince (i.e. Eitel Friedrich) said: Mr. Wupper, please keep the pennant as a memento!". Thereafter, the General Administration of the former ruling Prussian Royal House tried, together with Julius Knoop, driver of the imperial couple from 1908 onwards, to urge the donee to surrender the pennant, including correspondence with Knoop personally. Furthermore, an article entitled (tr.) "The Emperor’s personal chauffeur" published in the "Welt" newspaper on 15 December 2005 about Julius Knoop (1887 – 1967).
Unique historical object from family possession, significantly rarer than the navy pennant of the Empress with the same symbols.
