Crown Prince's Standard 1871-1918
Kronprinzenstandarte

The Crown Prince's Standard (Kronprinzenstandarte) was the same as the Imperial Standard, but the shield was bordered with red, and there were just three eagles in each quarter, with no crown.
Željko Heimer, 27 Oct 1996

Some of the information in Schlawe 1913 - published by Moritz Ruhl, who also published the Flaggenbuch 1905 for the German Navy - differs from the image we show above by Željko Heimer:

• Schlawe 1913 four black eagles in each quadrant of the field.
• The shape of the shield is as in Jaume Ollé's Kaisersstandarte, with the red bordure.
• The crown is the same as in Jaume Ollé's Kaiserinstandarte, with the red lining.
• The Iron Cross is the same as in Schlawe 1913's Kaisersstandarte.

Accurate illustrations that agree [with Schlawe 1913] can be found in Meyer's, reprinted in Crampton 1990, p. 42 and in Znamierowski 1999, p. 59. The latter also has good versions of the 1871-1890 standards.
